ROSES ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. 



Mr. Camm has spoken disp.iragingly of Roses growing on 

 their own roots, and, moreover, when they are required for pot 

 culture. I write not as a rosarian but as a gardener, and 1 

 am not willing that Mr. Camm's opinion should carry undue 

 weight. I do not grow Roses for exhibition, but I have grown 

 them for many years for home enjoyment. I have grown 

 them in pots and out of pots, on Briars, on Manottis, and on 

 their own roots. A few varieties of Roses do not strike freely 

 from cuttings, but most of the Hybrid Perpetuals do so readily, 

 and they also grow luxuriantly. 



For cultivation in pots I prefer Roses on their own roots. 

 I have never cut such fine blooms of .John Hopper as from 

 plants which had been raised from cuttings. The colour is 

 deeper and the perfume more powerful than on budded plants. 

 That flue old forcing pot Rose Baronne Pn'vost is larger, 

 brighter, and infinitely sweeter when grown on its own roots 

 than when nurtured by any foster-parent. Another sweet 

 Hose— yea, the sweetest Rose of all— the old Provence <'abbage, 

 is deprived alike of its agreeable form and delightful odour 

 by being budded on either the Briar or the Mauetti, and 

 especially the former. General Jacqueminot is more glowing 

 in colour from cuttings than when budded on other stocks. 

 Bessie Johnson is decidedly sweeter when she forages for 

 herself than by trusting to any dog to bring her a bone. 

 Charles Lefebvre, Alfred Colomb, Baronne de RothEchild, 

 Marguerite de St. Amand, Marie Baumann, Madame Eugiuie 

 Verdicr, Madame Charles Wood, and other sterling sorts I 

 have grown from cuttings in the most satisfactory manner. 



I am positive that many Roses are sweeter when grown on 

 their own roots than when worked on any stocks, and th» 

 colours are also brighter. I should like to try Mr. Turner's 

 new Rose, the Rov. J. B. M. Camm, on its own roots ; it is 

 delioiously perfumed. I shall not hastily mount this Rose ou 

 stilts lest it should lose influence. I rather fear its prototype 

 will also lose influence if he mounts Briars to denouLc.3 

 humble, useful, own-root Roses, and especially when the plania 

 are recjuired for growing in pots and for forcing. On the 

 matter of producing high-class exhibition blooms I bow sub- 

 missively to Mr. Camm, but for forcing Roses in pots I have 

 a suspicion that our friend has yet something to learn.—

APPLES AND APPLE TREES. 

 Or late something has been said in our Journal about Apple 

 trees. If "Yokksuiue Gheenixg " could furnish us with any 

 information respecting an Apple called ■! orkshire Robin, a 

 noted but no doubt a local Apple, which was much prized 

 many years ago, I for one would esteem it a favour, as I fear 

 some of our old favourites are becoming things of the past. I 

 am able to give a better account of our useful old friend the 

 Hawthornden Apple than your correspondents. I have at 

 the present time in use as fine examples of the above Apple 

 as need be seen, entirely free from scab, and to all appearance 

 likely to keep for some time to come. AVe have here two 

 kinds of soil, one a light loam resting on a gravelly Bubsoil, 

 and in it has been growing for the last fifty or more years a 

 Hawthornden Apple tree always kept as a bush, so that there 

 is nothing very new about bush-fruit culture. The tree takes 

 up very little room, is in good health, and free from canker as 

 near as can be, and brings us a crop of fine fruit annually. I
