ROSA 



From the first class, therefore, we advise the cutting 

 away about a sixth part of the roots ; from the second 

 class a fourth part ; and from the third class a third 

 part. It must be borne in mind that the extremities of 

 the roots alone should be cut off, for while we advocate 

 this mutilation, we equally advocate the preservation 

 of the surface roots by every possible means ; nay, more 

 than that, we recommend their encouragement by extra 

 appliances of manure to the surface-soil.
