the Kose. The beauties of even wild species are 

 vastly increased by cultivation, and those Roses 

 raised by the hybridiser are developed to a very 

 high degree. It may be said that few flowers 

 respond so well to the care of the cultivator as the 

 " Queen of Flowers." It is thus important that so 

 beautiful a flower should have its requirements 

 properly attended to. 



Propagation. By buddinir, grafting, cuttings, 

 layers, seeds, suckers, and division. The first is 

 the usual method. {See BUDDING and GRAFTING.) 



ROSCHERIA. 



Slender, stove Palms (ord. Palms), of graceful 

 appearance, and interesting on account of the stem 

 roots they produce. Melanochsetes, the only known 

 species, grows 20' to 25' in height, and bears 

 pinnate leaves 3' to 5' long and 2J' wide. (For 

 cultivation, nee PALMS.) 



ROSCOEA. 



Hardy or half-hardy herbaceous perennials {ord. 

 Scitaminea!). The majority of the species are now 

 included in Uautleya. The flowers are in terminal 

 heads. Propagation, by division in spring. Soil, 

 sandy loam. Planted at the foot of a south wall 

 and covered with leaves in frosty weather they can 

 be grown oulsidc.

Cutting*. Own-root Roses have advantages, one 

 being that they may be cut to the ground by frost, 

 and will grow again from a bud beneath the surface. 

 Some varieties do not root freely, and others grow 

 more weakly on their own roots than on stocks. 

 Generally they live longer when grown thus. 

 Many Roses strike freely in autumn from cuttings 

 9" or 12" long of ripened wood of the current 

 season. These may be put in the open ground 

 about 6" deep and 12" apart. Retain all the eyes, 

 and tread the soil firmly about the cuttings. This 

 only applies to the hardier Roses ; the others are 

 better struck in pots of light soil and kept in a cold 

 frame until spring, when they may be put in gentle 

 heat. Roses are largely propagated during summer 

 from cuttings of partially ripened growths with two
