OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



do not, under any circumstances, have them kept 

 indoors during the winter, for they will then generally 

 sprout, and if planted early, will be set back by the 

 late frosts, or if kept until later will be set back on 

 account of their change after growth has started. 

 It would be wiser to heel the plants in the open 

 ground; that is, dig a trench deep enough to cover 

 the roses half-way up the canes and place the plants 

 therein, filling in with dry earth. 



As we believe that the greater number of budded 

 roses can be properly secured from almost any large 

 nurseryman, the nearest one would be the best from 

 whom to order. 



Recently, as mentioned in "Propagation," there 

 have been some American firms who have tried 

 budding on Japanese Multiflora. We have grown 

 these plants for a number of years past and have 

 had very good success with them. 



In ordering from such growers the planter has the 

 advantage of securing stock more or less acclimated, 

 and does not run the risk of having the heat of the 

 steamers sprout plants directly imported; he is deal-

 American enterprise. 



It is, therefore, suggested that when the desired 



varieties may be secured, the same can be obtained 



from the following growers, who are budding on the
