ON THE COLOURS AND PROPERTIES OF ROSES. 2-53 



is very pretty in its foliage, grows freely, and most profusely ; 

 scarcely any thing surpassing it for a neat and handsome show. It 

 will grow about IS inches high, and continue in bloom from June 

 to the end of the season. The soil I grow it in very successfully 

 is fresh loam mixed with leaf mould, and about eight inches deep, 

 upon a drv subsoil. I find that when the soil is much enriched, 

 the plant has a tendency to produce too much foliage ; but, grown 

 in turf, loam, &c, as above stated, an amazing production of bloom 

 is the result. The plant is readily increased by slips, scarcely 

 one in a hundred failing to grow. I raise them in pots, or under 

 hand glasses, in fine sifted loam. They require winter protection 

 in a dry, cool frame, or green-house. I usually take off slips in 

 September, and keep them in the cutting-pots till March, then 

 separate them, and pot into small pots. I turn them out entire, 

 about the middle of May, into the beds.
