IS ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 



manure dug into the ground about their roots every 

 winter. In pruning, the wood of several years old 

 should be cut out, only laying in the young shoots 

 their full length ; these shoots can be turned and 

 twisted in any direction ; although it is decidedly 

 best to lay them in straight and equal. 



ROSA BANKSIANA. 



THE LADY BANKS ROSE. 



When this rose first made its appearance in the 

 time of Sir Joseph Banks, it was hailed vrith the 

 greatest rapture by every lover of the tribe, and it 

 was instantly complimented with the name of his 

 lady. It is the states south of this where it must 

 hi seen to be pronounced the most graceful, luxu- 

 riant, and beautiful of roses; there it is a perfect 

 evergreen, covering the ends, fronts, and, in some 

 instances, the entire dwellings of many of the in- 

 habitants, who name it the ^'■Evergreen Midtiflora .-^ 

 To us, the beauty of the plant is nearly lost, being 

 too tender for general planting in the garden ; * 



* Though in some very sheltered situations in this city we 

 have seen plants covering a space of forty feet, and producing 

 tlipusands of flowers.
