For '* Forcing'' Under Glass or for 

 Indoor Winter Bloom 



These varieties are used by professional florists in glass houses 

 where they can with nicety regulate the supply of heat and moisture, 

 etc., to produce the long-stemmed "beauties" seen in florists' windows. 

 While a greenhouse or conservatory is a wonderful help, it is not es- 

 sential, for some people have these same Roses during the winter, to 

 bloom beautifully in their homes: American Beauty (p. 20), Killarney 

 (p. 23), Kaiserin Augusta Victoria (p. 23), jMagnafrano {the ever- 

 blooming Gen I Jacqueminot) (p. 23), and Wellesley (p. 25). 



The Standard, or "Tree" Roses — so popular in English Gardens 



Standard or Tree Roses 



Tree Roses occupy but little ground space and are ver>' imposing 

 when planted among shrubbery or perennials. Along the sides of a 

 walk they form an avenue eft"ect. They can also be planted among 

 or back of a collection of bush Roses — thus making a two-storied 

 Rose-bed, as it were. 



All the winter protection required is to loosen the soil at the roots 

 enough to lean the plant so that the top comes near the ground, then 

 it can be covered with soil or two boards nailed together A-shaped and 

 filled with dry leaves. In the spring the weak shoots should be cut 

 out and the stronger ones pruned back to three or four eyes.
