In addition to the foregoing selection, several of the species 
previously described have run off in cultivation into varieties differing 
more or less from the type. The names of these may be found in the 
catalogues of the growers and dealers. 
We have now to consider various matters connected with the success¬ 
ful treatment of the Roses we have selected from the foregoing lists. 
Propagation. There are many methods by which Roses are propa¬ 
gated, but we shall see that these methods are not all 
applicable to every class. We may sow seeds, we may take cuttings, we 
may separate the suckers from Roses that are upon their own roots; we 
may layer the lower branches and so get rooted plants; we may divide 
the old plants, or we may insert buds or grafts upon a wild briar. To 
take these in order:— 
Seeds of garden-roses are usually worthless for propagation, 
except where special cross-fertilisation has been carried out with a 
view to the production of new hybrids. This can only be effected 
in certain cases. In the very double kinds it will be found that the 
stamens are entirely absent and their place taken by innumerable petals, 
but the stigmas are probably intact. In such a case pollen must be
