HARDY OR HYBRID REMONTANT ROSES. 



OR these grand flowers the preparation of the soil is the 

 same as for the monthly roses. Autumn is undoubtedly 

 the best time to plant them, more particularly where 

 large plants dug from the nursery rows are to be used. 

 Amateurs perhaps would be better pleased with plants 

 on their own roots, and which are usually grown in pots 

 and can be planted at any season from May till October 

 inclusive, rather than budded roses from the open ground. While not generally 

 so large the first season as the usual budded stock, are very attractive when in 

 bloom and continue to increase in size and abundance of bloom each year after. 

 The great value of own root plants over budded stock is that with very little 

 care they last for years, in fact some varieties will live twenty-five to fifty years, 

 while with budded stock often the stock will send up suckers from the base, 

 which by many are thought to be rose shoots, and if not quickly removed they 

 will soon take all the nourishment from the rose proper, which soon dies.
