56 CLIBRANS’ LIST OP ROSES, ipog-io. 
China and Dwarf Polyantha 
Roses. 
China Roses.— These roses are well adapted for growing in small pots or 
for planting in beds on lawns, or in any situation where a constant succession 
of flowers is desired. They are all tolerably hardy, and of moderate growth. 
They succeed best in warm, dry soils, with a moderate dressing of well-decayed 
manure and leaf mould once a year. Thin out the smaller shoots, and prune 
moderately about the beginning of April. For protection in severe Winters 
a covering of 4 or 5 inches of cocoa-nut fibre refuse is the best material that 
could be used. 
Polyantha Roses, often called “ Fairy Roses.” — These are extremely 
interesting, and admirably adapted for pot culture ; flowers small and borne 
in clusters, very pretty for conservatory (contrasting very effectively with 
other flowering plants), and also good for outdoor beds and borders, their 
lovely miniature double flowers showing well against the massive blooms of 
the popular H.P.’s. A bed of “ Polyantha Roses” in variety with the old 
blush or crimson China will provide a beautiful sheet of colour for many weeks. 
Pruning. — China and Polyantha Roses should be pruned in March, thin 
out the growths where too crowded and cut the strongest back. Apart from 
this, little or no pruning is necessary. 
China Roses are marked (C), Dwarf Polyantha Roses (P).
