INSTRUCTION X. 



MINIATURE PROYENCE. Prune in February or March. 

 Thin well out and prune to within five or six inches 

 of the ground, only taking care that the plant shall 

 have a certain symmetry when in bloom. 



INSTRUCTION XL 

 FRENCH AND DAMASK. Prune early in March. 



The list of these given in the N.R.S. Official 

 Catalogue really comprises three classes, but for pruning 

 purposes can be treated as two. There is (a) the York and 

 Lancaster type, with the Hybrids, including macrantha, 

 (b) the Rosa Mundi type, (a) This is the taller section, 

 and the varieties in it may be treated as tall bushes or 

 even as 5-ft. to 6-ft. Pillars. Thin out the shoots, keeping 

 the best one and two-year-old wood and the best laterals. 

 (b) Prune the dwarfer growers similarly, but so as to 

 leave the bushes not more than 2-|-ft. or 3-ft. high.

 will be produced by laterals on old shoots. These laterals 

 should be left g-in. to i2-in. long.
