1912. The AuUrian, Briers, and other jellow roses, are difficnlt to Qower, 

 3Sid require carefol managemoit. The old double jellow is remarkably 

 capricious, and the Cloth of 6ol4» or Chromatella rose, in which rose-gtoven 

 expected to find an nmiTalled yelloir, hUtoms in perfecdtm oniy in voy tew 

 places. '' The general directions given," says Mr. Sanl^ of the Bardham Downs 

 nursery, Bristol, "is to grow it in a poor soil, as it is a stzvHig grower. Now, 

 this I conader Tery questionable advice. It belongs to the group of roses 

 -called Xoisettes, many varieties of which have heeu crossed and raised fimn 

 very «^i«girni1ar groups. The laige section of tea-scented Xoisettes will bo 

 found to differ most mat^ially fitnn the tniginal Xotsettes, fitnn their affinity 

 to the tea-scented &om whidi they have been raised. To this section bdong 

 the Cloth of Gold, Sol£aterre, Clara Wraidel, Lamarqne, Triomphe dela 

 Xhich^, and many other fine roses ; Sol£aterre being very little inferior to 

 the Cloth of Gold, both beii^ raised from the same parraits. The niiole sec- 

 tion require peculiar treatment, approaching in some degree to what we give 

 to the strong-growing tea-scraited kind& 



1913. " Under the starring system, I have seen the doth of Gold so eead- 

 •doGJ>Ie, small, and worthless, that^ without positively knowing it, I should 

 have doubted its identity. It is a shy bloomer under this system, covering a 

 considerable space of wall, and standing year after year without producing a 

 solitary bloom. I have seen it prododng magnificent Uo(Mns from bods of 

 l,he previous season if budded on strong stocks, as the Celine and 

 3Ianeti rose. These buds, after having been headed back the first season, 

 when 15 to 18 inches lung, diould have the leading points pinched oat, when 

 the laterals will generally bloom abundantly in the autumn. On the dog-rose 

 ^em, growing standard and half-standard high, I have bloomed it fredy in 

 the same way ; not that I reoommoid it for a standard, for it is unsuited for 

 -the purpose ; but should any one wish to try it in that way, he should protect 

 the head from extreme cold in winter, pnming hard in spring, and applying
