On the contrary, thoao of feeble growth require to be cut back severely, in order that the root may be able to supply the remaining buds with sufficient sap to make them push vigorously, and cause the roses it docs bear to be fully developed in size and form. A little attention to the several varieties, and the peculiar habits of each, will soon teach the observing cultivator the pruning requisite in each case. There should be sufficient shortening in to proportion the quantity of bloom to the strength of the plant, so that the plant may not be weakened by excess of bloom, and so that the Eoses may be all well developed. Beyond this, and a little thinning out occasionally of over-crowding branches, the Eose will not need much pruning to keep it in shape. The form of Rose tree best suited to our climate is that of a low bush. Both the heat of summer and the cold of winter bear very injuriously upon tall standards. At best they are short-lived with us. By careful pruning they may be grown as pyramids, clothed with branches from the ground, like a well-formed Nor- way Spruce. The pruning necessary to form a pyramid is best done by pinching in the leader during the growing season, so as to develop the lower buds, cut back the following spring to four or five buds, train one as a leader, and the others horizontally; pinch the leader again, and the following season cut back as before, repeating this operation until the desired form and size are attained. But after all, the bush form is easier obtained, and is quite as satisfactory, besides being measurably exempt from the accidents which so often mar any attempts at more f
