Commercial rose culture under glass and outdoors; a practical guide to modern methods of growing the rose for market purposes . ire stakes are very useful for thispurpose as they may be bent into any shape and, whencovered with foliage and flowers are not noticeable. The illustration on opposite page shows the methodsof training employed by an English grower which vary littlefrom our own. The temperature at first should not exceed45° at night. Water should be applied moderately at first;after the balls are once wet to the bottom, syringe the plantsseveral times daily to help start the buds. The object is toget all the buds started and all to flower, or the fine effect ofthe trained specimen is lost. After two or three weeks thetemperature may be raised to 50°. Later, when the budsare formed, to 55°, and finally to 60°. It should be remebered that a little extra heat may beapplied to hurry them along if late, or they may be slightlyretarded if too early. The ones grown in moderate heatwill be the best and will keep the longest. No forcing shouldbe attempted until after the buds are formed. RAMBLER ROSES 131.
