serves that Hybrid Perpetual and 

 Bourbon Eoses bloom much more 

 abundantly in autumn if they are re- 

 moved annually in November, parti- 

 cularly on poor soils ; they can be 

 planted in the same places, giving 

 each plant a shovelful of rotten ma- 

 nure, mixing it well Avith the soil in 

 planting. Liquid manure, in the 

 growing season, is of great benefit, 

 particularly in dry and poor soils. 

 Guano, mixed with soap-suds or pond- 

 water, makes an excellent liquid for 

 roses, taking care not to make it too 



strong (a quarter of a pound to a 

 gallon of water), pouring it round the 

 plant, a foot from the stem ; this may 

 be repeated three or four times 

 through the summer. On cold clayey 

 lands I have found soot to be a most 

 excellent thing for roses, after the 

 plants are pruned and the land dug (a 

 handfvJ or two thrown over the 

 plant) ; it is a most excellent manure, 

 and a preventive against the early at- 

 tack of the green-lly. — Harrison, of 

 Darlington's Catalogue of Roses.
