RAMBLER ROSES 109 



The Baby, or Dwarf Ramblers, may be forced in the 

 same way as the others. As these flower all Summer, and 

 may be sold at almost any time, they do not require such careful 

 riming as the Climbers to get into flower. Houses that are not 

 quite the best, work in well for these Roses the first six weeks, 

 when they may be moved into the flowering house. Most 

 plant growers have a number of small houses which allow of 

 constant changing around of stock as some have to be hurried 

 and others held back. 



The best demand for large forced Ramblers is at Easter. 

 For the smaller and cheaper plants there is an excellent sale 

 all through the Spring months and especially for Memorial 

 Day. 



All plants left over from Spring sales may be grown 

 on through the Summer and will make good plants for the 

 following year. Unless they were potted in early Spring they 

 will probably need repotting in good rich loam. This may 

 be done right after flowering and the plants grown on in the 

 usual manner. Or these same plants may be used for outdoor 

 planting with the advantage of being safely transferred and 

 planted at any time during the Summer. Besides the varieties 

 mentioned at the commencement of this chapter, there are a 

 number of others that are good, and new kinds are constantly 

 appearing, making this class a most interesting and useful one.
