52 PLANNING AND PLANTING 



overlook the White American Beauty, or Frau 

 Karl Druschki. 



The several methods of producing the plants 

 will next be mentioned here. There are the "own 

 root" Roses which are produced from "slips" or 

 cuttings, and grown entirely on their own roots. 

 Roses are also budded or grafted on roots' of 

 manetti, ragged robin, rosa rugosa and other 

 hardy and suitable plants for the purpose. Some 

 rosarians prefer "own root" Roses; others the 

 budded or grafted stock. It is a matter of per- 

 sonal preference, and, as the old saying goes, "you 

 pays your money and you takes your choice." 



The stock is produced in the greenhouse, in 

 small pots, as well as grown in the field. Field 

 grown plants are the most popular and, today, the 

 greater proportion of this stock is produced by 

 experts located in California, and shipped in the 

 winter to the dealer or nurseryman to be sold for 

 planting in the spring, or planted out for sub- 

 sequent sales.
