Dutch Hundred-leavd White, and 

 moft other Sorts of Rofes do f 1- 

 lowi and the latefl Sorts are the 

 two h'usk Rofes, which, if planted 

 in a fliady Situation, do feldom 

 flower until September -^ and if the 

 Autumn proves mild, will continue 

 often till the Middle of Ociober. 



The Plants of thefe two Sorts 

 {hould be placed againft a Wall, 

 Pale, or other Building, that their 

 Branches may be fupported •■> other- 

 wile, they are fo fiend er and weak 

 as to trail upon the Ground j thefe 

 Plants fliould not be pruned until 

 Spring, becaufe their Branches are 

 fbmewhat tender, fb that when 

 they are cut in Winter they often 

 die after the Knife. Thefe pia- 

 duce their Flowers at the Extre- 

 mity of the fame Year's Shoots, in 

 large Bunches, fo that their Bran- 

 ches muil not be fhortened in the 

 Summer, left hereby the Flowers 

 ^loulJ be cut off. Thefe Shrubs 

 will grow to be eight or nine Feet 

 high, and muft not be chcck'd in 

 their Growth, if you intend they 

 fhouid flower well, fo that they 

 fliould be placed where they may 

 be allowed Room. 



The loweft Shrub of all the Sorts 

 here-mention'd, is the Scotch Rofe, 

 which rarely grows above two 

 Feet high, fo that this muft be 

 placed among other Shrubs ot the 

 lame Growth. The Red Rsfe and 

 the Rcfa, Mandi do commonly grow 

 from three to four Feet high, but 

 feldom exceed that ; but the Da- 

 mask^ RrovencCy and Frankfort Rofes 

 grow to the Height of feven or 

 eight Feet i fo that in Planting of 

 them, great Care fliould be taken, 

 to place their feveral Kinds, accor- 

 ding to their various Growths, a- 

 mongft other Shrubs, that they 

 m.iy appear beautiful to the Eye.

The Franhfort Rofe is of Iittie 

 Vahie, except for a Stock, to bud 

 the more tender Sorts of Rofes up- 

 on, for the Flowers do feldom o- 

 pen fair, and have no Scent ^ but 

 it being a vigorous Shooter, renders 

 it proper for Stocks to bud the Tel- 

 low and Atiflrian Rofes, which will 

 render them ftronger than upon 

 their o\vu Stocks; but the Te'lovp' 

 Rofes do feldom blow fair within* 

 eight or ten Miles of London, tho* 

 in the Northern Parts of Grent- 

 Briton, they do flower extremely 

 well. This Sort muft have a Nor- 

 thern Expofure, for if it is planted' 

 too warm, it will not -flower. 



All the Sorts of Rofes may be 

 propagated either from Suckers, 

 L,ayers, or by budding them upon 

 Stocks of other Sorts of Rofes, 

 which latter Method is only pra- 

 dis'd for fome peculiar Sorts, 

 which do not grow very vigorous 

 upo* their own Stocks, and fend 

 forth Suckers very fparingly ; or 

 where a Perlbn is willing to have' 

 more Sorts than one upon the fame 

 Plant; but then it muft be obfer- 

 ved, to bud fuch Sorts upon the 

 fame Stock as are nearly equal in- 

 their manner of Growth ; tor if 

 there be a Bud of a vigorous grow- 

 ing Sort, and fome others of weak 

 Growth, the ftrong one will draw 

 all the Nourifliment from the wea- 

 ker, and entirely ftarve them. 



The beft.Sort for Stocks is the' 

 Frankfort Rofc, which is a vigorous^ 

 Grower, and produces ftrong, clean- 

 Shoots, which v/ili take the Buds- 

 much better than any other Sort 

 of Rofe s but you muft be very 

 careful to keep the Stock after 

 Budding intirely clear from Suckers 

 or Shoots at the Bottom, for if 

 they are permitted to remain onj 

 they will, in a fnort time, ftarve
