210 HEDGE BUDDING. 



in July or August following ; attend to them the 

 following summer, and remove them to the garden 

 in the autumn. If removed with the dormant 

 buds the same autumn they are budded, they 

 will, unless the plants are well rooted, not break 

 well ; but, if the stocks can be removed with 

 tolerable roots, it will, unless the hedge is very 

 near the house, be interesting to have them in 

 the garden, so as to be able to watch over them 

 carefully. By the former method you will have 

 very strong plants to remove into the garden, 

 fifteen months after budding ; by the latter, you 

 may remove your stocks with their buds three 

 months after budding. You will probably lose 

 a few of your plants, from their being deficient 

 in roots, and some of your budded stocks will 

 refuse to push or break, from the same cause. 

 Your roses will ornament your hedge during the 

 summer, prick your fingers, and give you some 

 trouble to prune and superintend. Your buds 

 will bloom in the garden, though not with equal 

 vigour ; still, if Hybrid Perpetuals or Bourbons, 

 with much freedom, and constantly be under your 

 eye. I can only say that the culture of roses, 

 whether in the garden or in the wilderness, is 

 always interesting.
