PLANTING ROSES. 



Roses may be planted at any time in the growing season, 

 because nearly all commercial rose growers on a large 

 scale have them in pots from which they can be trans- 

 ferred to the ground at any time without risk. In trans- 

 ferring roses grown in the open ground, of course early 

 Spring or Fall must be the time ; but in our experience 

 some of the best rose beds filled with blooms up to 

 Winter's frosts that we ever saw, were turned into the 

 ground from the pots in June.
