our th.ir dead wood, and take ofF all the 
suckers, ^vhich should be cone every Autiinin ; 
and, it there are any very luxuriant branches, 
which draw the nourishment from the other 
parts of the phuit, they should be taken out, 
or shortened, to cause them to produce more 
branches, if there be occasion for them to 
supply a vacancy : but crouding them with 
branches must be avoided, which is as inju- 
rious to these plants as it is to fruit-trees; for, 
if the branches have not equal beneht of the 
sun and air, they will not produce their fiorvers 
so strong, nor in so great plenty, as when they^ 
are more open, and better exposed to the sun, 
so that the air may circulate the more freely 
between them." 
To these judicious hints from IMiller, for the 
culture of Roses in general, we sh?al only add, 
that the Moss Rose grows to the height of four 
or five feet : and, that the Provence Rose, of 
which some consider it as a variety, is tliat 
most beautiful and deliciously fragrant, butvcry 
common Rose, better known, among our En- 
glish gardeners, by the vulgar appellation of the 
Cabbage Rose; on account of it's frequently- 
growing to a large size, and leaving the petals 
closely folded over each other like a Cabbage.
