AND FLOWER-GARDEN DIRECTORY. 67 
ROSA INDICA.—Benaat Carnesz, on Daty Ross. 
The varieties of this class and Rosa Semperflorens we shall in- 
clude in the same group, for the habits and colors so nearly re- 
semble each other, it is next to impossible to say to which species 
they belong. They are of a hardy nature, and generally will stand 
our winters without protection They should have a rich sandy 
soil, of eighteen inches depth. The Bengals may be propagated by 
cuttings from June to September, inclusive. If done in June, they 
will make handsome plants by the fall. For ordinary garden pur- 
poses, layering is preferable, and by far the safest method. This 
may be done in July or August.—(See Layering.) Well-rotted 
manure should be dug in about their roots in the fall.
