AUTUMNAL ROSES.

FLOWERING FROM JUNE TILL NOVEMBER.

THE PERPETUAL MOSS ROSE. 
(Rosa centifolia.) 
It is only within the last few years that any really 
fine perpetual Moss Roses have been raised; we 
have, however, now « few first-rate varieties in this 
class, possessing the properties of the Moss Rose, 
with the desirable addition of blooming in _ the 
autumn. Many of the varieties are somewhat 
difficult to propagate, and only the most vigorous 
do well upon the Dog Rose. I find, however, that 
all of them grow freely upon the Manetti stock, 
especially the moderate growers. They require 
rich soil and close pruning.
