ROSES. 
When they are to be placed out singly on lawns, a hole should be made two feet deep, and large 
enough to contain a good wheelbarrowful of compost, two-thirds of which should be strong turfy loam 
from an old pasture, and one-third of well decomposed animal manure. When beds are to be planted, 
the ground should be thoroughly trenched eighteen to twenty-four inches deep, as the nature of the 
soil will admit, intermixing some of the above compost. If this be done well, the beds will last several 
years, with occasionally a dressing of manure. 
If a piece of ground is set apart for the exclusive cultivation of Roses, the most open situation 
should be selected : if wet, it should be drained well ; this done, the ground should be trenched the 
depth as recommended above ; the beds may then be formed according to taste and circumstances. 
November is the best month for transplanting, although with care they will do well up to the middle 
ol March. About the first week in March for Hybrid Perpetuals, and the last week in April for Tea 
Roses, would be the best time to prune. 
In pruning, if they grow vigorous and thick, somo shoots should be cut out entirely, and others 
left long, varying from six to eighteen inches, in proportion to their growth ; the moderate growers 
should be pruned back close, say from two to threo buds to six inches. 
Buds averaging from 2d. to 3d. each ; new kinds in proportion to the prices quoted 
for trees.
