Rose Cuttings Developed by Selective Breeding 



A new variety of rose developed by selective breed- 

 ing may be propagated by merely cutting the branches into 

 sections, and planting them in the way illustrated on page 135. It is 

 oj course necessary to have at least one bud, and preferably 

 two or three, on each cutting. Mr. Burbank has devel- 

 oped some very remarkable new varieties of roses, 

 including one that received a gold medal 

 at the St. Louis International 

 Exposition in 1904.
