The hardy herbaceous are chiefly cultivated ; 

 seed, division, and cuttings under a hand-light 

 of the young shoots, as growth commences in 

 spring. Small side shoots may be obtained 

 from flowering stems, but they do not answer 

 so well ; rich sandy loam. They require di- 

 viding often in spring, and fresh soil to grow 

 in. Grandiflora requires protection in a cold 

 pit in winter ; double flowers require more 

 attention in changing the soil than single ones.

Cuttings of ripened shoots, in autumn or 

 spring, under a hand-light; common sandy 

 loam. The tender kinds require protection. 

 They are mostly of a free, rambling, half- 

 climbing character, and Europcewn, and its 

 congeners, are thus well-fitted for covering 

 arbours, unsightly walls, c. ; Afrum does well 

 on a conservative wall, and its fruit is pretty, 

 and it blooms very freely.
