Annual roses are increased by offshoots or by layers. Most 

 of the kinds throw up the former too freely, but the Moss, the 

 Maiden, and some other valuable kinds require careful layering 

 in a warm, sandy soil, or in compost No. 2, which may be per- 

 formed either in fall or early spring, or in June upon the young 

 growth of the season. 



Of the Autumnal and Ever-blooming Roses, all may be in- 

 creased by layers ; some throw up offshoots as freely as the An- 

 nuals, and the more delicate kinds may be readily raised from 

 cuttings. Some of them are hardy any where, but others re- 

 quire banking with earth or careful coating with straw north 

 of Philadelphia, and a few, as Solfatarre and Devoniensis, even 

 somewhat south of that point. Wherever this is necessary, 

 the best and most convenient mode will generally be to bend 

 the whole plant down and cover it with the common earth six 

 or eight inches deep. Open and set them into place early in 

 the spring, and prune carefully and pretty closely. 



Autumnal and Ever-blooming Roses, in order to secure the 

 highest success in their summer and fall flowering, require to 

 be managed with some care, otherwise their heavy spring crop 

 of blossoms will so far exhaust them that but few will be sub- 

 sequently yielded. If, however, certain selected bushes be pre-
