14 ROSES 



leads to spindly, unsatisfactory growth, be- 

 sides exposing the roots to serious strain in 

 high winds, which dry out the soil to a remark- 

 able degree. The success of Mr. Prince in 

 England with shallow planting should not 

 govern us in the climate of America, where 

 the trials of the winter are more rigorous. 

 Moreover, in the case of budded stock, 

 deep planting has this added advantage, that 

 the upper part will develop roots of its own 

 and in time become independent of the stock 

 which carried it. 



The planting can be done by one person, 

 but two working together will accomplish 

 relatively much more and do better work; 

 one holding the plant and the other filling in. 

 In planting a long row, it will save time to 

 trench out the site with a wheel hoe to a 

 depth slightly greater than is required. 

 Measure off and stake out the rose places, 

 plant, and fill in. 



BUDDED VS. OWN-ROOT PLANTS 



Garden roses can be obtained from the deal- 

 ers grown in two ways, either on their own 

 roots or budded on the Manetti or brier stock.
