§ ‘t|t is surprising how beautifully Roses grow and bloom in the Home lor 
Flowers, at Swanley, so much so, that no Manure must be put on the 
soil, otherrviso they would make far too vigorous unripe gi’owth ; 
therefore we need not say when such healthy-grown trees are removed to 
ordinary soil, with manure mixed in the usual way, what satisfaction they 
give. Another additional acre has been planted this season, besides a great 
number grown in pots for forcing, &c. All lovers of this family are respect- 
fully invited when they are in flower. 
A\Tien they are to be placed but singly on lawn.s, a hole should be made 
two feet deep, .and large enough to contain a good wheelban owful of compost, 
two-thirds ol which should be strong turfy loam from an old pasture, and one- 
third of well decomposed animal manure. When bods are to be planted, the 
ground should be thoroughly trenched eighteen to twenty-four inches deep, as 
the mature of the soil wOl admit, intermixing some of the above compost. If 
this be done well, the beds will last several year's, 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 aveU ; 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 
of March. About the first week in March for Hybi'id Perpetuals, and the last week in Api-il for Tea 
Roses, would be the best time to prune. 
In pruning, if they grow vigorous and thick, some shoots should bo cut out entirely, and othere 
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 three buds to six inches. 
In the Catalogue, in the column describing the habit of growth, the following abbreviations are 
used : — 
ViG.— For vigorous ; varieties which produce long vigorous shoots, must of them adapted for Pillar 
Roses. Free. — Varieties which arc free glowers, making large heads. Mod. — For moderate ; 
varieties forming medium compact heads. The kinds marked thus (*) are of free growth and 
well suited for planting in the vicinity of large towns. Tho.sc suitable to grow as Pillar 
Roses, P. 
Buds averaging from 2d. to 3d. each ; new kinds in proportion to the prices quoted 
for trees.
