Roses, our stock of Roses this season is very fine, 

 both for mailing and sending by express. Those offered 

 as large plants have been bedded out, or grown in pots 

 the past season, and wintered in cold-frame ; they can 

 be planted out in the spring with little or no risk. The 

 rose requires high culture ; it should be planted in good, 

 well drained soil ; the ground can scarcely be made too 

 rich. The pruning required will vary with the sorts 

 planted, the rank growing requiring less pruning than 

 the weak ones. The points particularly to be observed 

 are to prune before the buds start in spring, to cut out 

 ail unripe or old and feeble shoots, and to cut back the 

 last season's growth to from one-half to two-thirds its 

 length, according to the vigor of the sorts. Winter pro- 

 tection of tender sorts is accomplished by covering after 

 a few severe frosts, with leaves, straw, evergreen boughs. 

 or earth, or by removing the plants to a cool cellar. 

 With a little care of this kind, the choicest tender roses 

 may be safely wintered, and as they are the only really 

 perpetual roses, they are abundantly worth the extra 

 care. The insects most commonly injurious to the rose 

 — as the Aphis, which appear in great numbers upon 

 the young, growing shoots, and the Thrips, which prey 

 upon the under side of the leaf, giving it a sickly, yel- 

 lowish look, may easily be destroyed by syringing or 

 dipping the plants in tobacco water. Purchasers will do 

 better by allowing us some latitude in making selections, 

 not only getting better plants, but greater distinction of 

 variety.
