INSTRUCTION 41. 



PEGGED DOWN HOSES.— Prune in March. 



Only strong growing Roses should be employed for 

 pegging down. A few of the longest and ripest shoots, 

 not more than three or four to a plant, are to be retained, 

 cut to the length required, and pegged down carefully as 

 nearly horizontally as possible, and the remainder of the 

 shoots cut right out. In the summer several young 

 shoots from the base of the plant are to be allowed to 

 grow out, and in the following spring the shoots that 

 have flowered are cut right away and a similar number 

 of the young shoots that have grown up are to be 

 pegged down in their place. 



Pegged down Roses require extra good cultivation. 



The following Roses are recommended for pegging 

 down : — 



Frau Karl Druschki. Mme. Isaac Pereire. 



Gruss an Teplitz. Mme. Jules Gravereaux. 



J. B. Clark. Z^phirine Drouhin. 



INSTRUCTION 42. 



ROSES IN POTS UNDER GliASS. 



Prune at end of December or early m January for blooming 

 about three months later. 



It is assumed that the pots have been plunged in a 

 bed of ashes or other material, and standing out of 

 doors in a suitable place all the summer and autumn. 



The soil in the pots should be allowed to become 

 fairly dry before the plants are pruned. Some growers 

 prune the plants before taking them in under glass, 

 others house the plants a few days before pruning.
