of the more delicate sorts of roses, are very apt to die when pruning is performed in winter or spring ; to 
avoid the consequences of this evil, many give a second pruning in June, or do not prune the tender sorts 
at all till the beginning of that month. A very good time for performing the operation, is immediately after 
the bloom is over; cutting out old exhausted wood, shortening shoots which have flowered to a good bud 
accompanied with a healthy leaf, but leaving such shoots as are still in a growing state untouched till 
October. Where very large roses are wanted, all the buds but that on the extreme point of each shoot 
should be pinched off as soon as they make their appearance, and the plant liberally supplied with water. To 
lessen evaporation, and keep up a constant moisture at the roots of their roses, the Paris gardeners generally 
mulch them with half-rotten stable-dung, or partially rotten leaves. 
The earliest flowering rose is the monthly, which, in mild seasons, and planted against a wall, will some- 
times flower in the beginning of April ; the roses next in succession are the cinnamon, which flowers in May ; 
the damask in the end of May or beginning of June ; the blush, York and Lancaster, Provins, and Dutch
