slight protection in very cold weather during- winter. The sprin_ 

 pruning should not take place until late, say the end of March, when 

 all danger from very severe frosts is past ; prune hard, cutting well out, 

 and shortening bacic considerably the old wood, to induce free vigorous 

 growth. Give the same attention the following season as to stopping, 

 watering with liquid manure, &c. The south wall will be found of great 

 importance in ripening the wood well during the summer and autumn, 

 Avhich will enable it to resist the winter's cold. 



When grown as a pot Rose, it should not be allowed to get over- 

 crowded with wood ; in spring thin and shorten the branches well, 

 tying a portion down to the rim of the pot, grow vigorously, and all 

 strong shoots should be stopped at from nine to twelve inches, and 

 neatly tied down into their proper place ; give liquid manure as required. 

 In this way it may be bloomed pretty well, though not so freely as 

 against a south wall, which is the best situation in which this Rose can 

 be grown. — Extract from Magazine of Botany.
