CULTIVATION OF ROSES IN POTS. 165 



provement in this group, and we call the attention 

 of cultivators and amateurs to it, that they may yet 

 bring to view flowers of more perfect character 

 arid of more brilliant colours than any of the pre- 

 ceding, and even possessing, in a greater degree, 

 the odour which appertains to the original species. 

 It is true we have the Pink Musk Cluster, Red 

 Musk Cluster, Frazerii, and some others, but as 

 we have already said, they are worthless. 



CULTIVATION OF ROSES IN POTS. 



FOR THE GHEENIIOUSE Oil ROOMS. 



A SELECTION, for this purpose, should be made 

 from the Tea, Bengal, and Bourbon families, all 

 on their own roots, or budded very low. Pre- 

 suming that these roses are already in pots, or to 

 be procured from the Nurserymen in the small* 

 pot they are generally grown in for sale, they 

 should at once be placed into those of six inches 

 in diameter, carefully and freely watered, during 



* The plants for winter blooming should be ordered from the 

 venders of an extra size; the very small plants sold at low prices 

 would defeat the object.
