 cut with the eyes. The leaves of the bud should be left on, 

 and the buds inserted just below the surface of a well-drained 

 cutting - pan, surfaced 

 with sand (see fig.) 

 Place them in a close 

 shady case, and sprin- 

 kle the leaves once or 

 twice a-day with a fine- 

 rosed watering-pot or 

 syringe. They callus

 weeks, and grow away

 close frame until well 



established. In the case of new or rare varieties, where a 

 whole shoot cannot be spared as a cutting, this plan is useful 

 and safe. 



Layering is a very certain method of obtaining Roses on 

 their own roots. Partially-ripened shoots may be tongued, 

 and laid in the earth or in pots, in sandy soil, about mid- 

 summer, and will become sufficiently rooted to be separated 

 and planted out by the autumn or spring, according to the 

 soil, situation, and season.
