INSTRUCTION 32. 



NOISETXBS. — Prune in March. 



The Noisettes are mostly moderate climbers, and 

 when used as pillar Roses need to be gradually built 

 up to the required size. It will be necessary to cut 

 away some of the wood which is unsound. As the 

 flowers are produced upon well-ripened laterals, all the 

 healthy old wood must be retained. 



(a) Kinds of which the laterals may be fairly closely 

 pruned, and which make 5-ft. to 6-ft. pillars, and also 

 make good beds, when pegged down, and large bold 

 standards. 



(b) Stronger growers for tall arches and throwing 

 up sturdy base shoots, 7-ft. to lo-ft., and which also 

 make bold standards. 



Lamarque requires a wall. Fortune's Yellow (tender) 



blooms only once. This variety also requires a wall. 



In the colder parts of the country it is best under 



glass. Ophirie and R6ve d'Or should be pruned as 



little as possible. Marechal Niel blooms on the shoots. 



The best last years wood should be retained and left as 



long as possible. (See also Instruction 40.)
