BRAISWICK Rose Gardens, Colchester

Tea and Noisette Section. 
Of which we have a stock of 90,000 plants all on briar stocks, may well be called the “ fair 
sex ” roses, because the flowers are so delicately-beautiful and refined as to be unrivalled. 
They are ever-blooming from May to November, and last a very long time when cut. A slight 
protection in the form of brake or bracken, tucked into the heads of the plants, should be given 
in very severe weather ; dwarf plants may be earthed up like celery ; a few degrees of frost will 
not hurt them. They rarely take mildew, and are absolutely fungus-proof. 
A high position and good porous soil suit these best, and undoubtedly the finest flowers are 
produced on HALF - STANDARDS, whether in the open ground or in pots. They like liberal 
treatment in manuring, and when planted in masses nothing can be more beautiful. 
If large blooms are required for exhibition, teas must be closely pruned, leaving only about three 
eyes on each shoot, but if grown for garden ornamentation very little pruning is required, cutting 
away only the weakest wood. For this class we prefer good decomposed stable manure. 
Only those sorts which are priced in the column for standards and half= 
standards can be supplied as such. They are grand plants.
