Beneat roses should have all the dead wood cut out, and the 
shoots of the preceding year, where irregular and ill shapened, 
shortened in. ‘ 
Lawrenora rosxs should have the old and superfluous wood 
thinned out, only sufficient to keep the branches from becoming 
two crowded. 
Bovrzon roszs will bear closer pruning than any other variety, 
but care should be taken not to spoil the appearance of the plant. 
Hysrm Perpervat roszs, being of a very robust growth, should 
be pruned of all surplus wood. Heading-in of the plant will be 
found advantageous for this family of the rose. 
Prrretvat Damask Roses require the same treatment as recom- 
mended for the Hybrid Perpetuals. 
Micropnyiir1a Roses should have only the old shoots thinned 
out. The young shoots should not be pruned unless locality 
demand it. 
Mousk-scenTep Rosms require the same mode of treatment as 
recommended for the Noisettes.
