INSTRUCTION XXVIII. 

 NOISETTES. Prune in March. 



The Noisettes are mostly moderate climbers, and 

 when used as pillar Roses need to be gradually built up 

 to the required size. It will be always necessary to cut 

 away some of the wood which is unsound. As the 

 flowers are produced upon well-ripened laterals, all the 

 healthy old wood must be retained. 



(a) Kinds of which the laterals may be fairly closely 

 pruned, and which make 5-ft. to 6-ft. pillars, and also 

 make good beds, when pegged down, and large bold 

 standards. 



(b) Stronger growers for tall arches and throwing 

 up sturdy base shoots, y-ft. to io-ft, and which also 

 make bold standards. 



Lamarque requires a wall. Fortune's Yellow (tender) 

 blooms only once. This variety also requires a wall. 

 In the colder parts of the country it is best under 

 glass. Ophirie and Reve d'Or, should be pruned as 

 little as possible. Marechal Niel blooms on the shoots 

 of the previous year. It should be well thinned of all 

 weak and cankered shoots, whether they be new or old. 

 The best last year's wood should be retained and left as 

 long as possible. (See also Instruction XXXVI. ).
