tree oi* bush. However, there are some who 
will not agree that gooseberries should be cut 
so, though for currants it is universally ad- 
mitted to be good practice. Cobbett's lessons 
have served us for a text; and in future notices 
of pruning, as regards particular fruits, we 
will endeavour to follow his example, in com- 
pressing the practice into a few fixed rules. 
SELECT ROSES EOR LIMITED GARDENS. 
Among the most splendid and yet most 
neglected flowers, we may unquestionably 
place the rose. There is not a plant which 
remains longer in bloom, nor one which gives 
so little trouble; yet the rose is quite subordi- 
nate to even the common annuals, which have 
a much larger space allotted to them than is 
allowed for the most lovely of all flowers — the 
rose. The old notions about the rose in June, 
Avhen there were hardly any but summer 
roses in cultivation, may have given rise to 
the limited use. of the Queen of Flowers; but 
now the garden could be kept in a continued 
bloom from April to December with roses 
alone. Let us, for instance, select from the 
perpetual.?, and we will engage that the fol- 
lowing list shall afford bloom from the begin- 
ning of the spring to the end of the autumn : 
Ci'imson perpetual, bright crimson, fragrant. 
Mogador, crimson and purple. 
La Capricieuse, rosy and deep red. 
Laurence de Montmorency, pink and lilac, 
Madame Thelier, delicate pink. 
Amandine, blush and deep rose. 
Aubernon, bright crimson, fragrant. 
Augustine Monchelet, deep crimson. 
Baronne Prevost, bright rose. 
Com.te de Montalivet, red and lilac. 
Contesse Duchatel, bright rose. 
Cymedor, heavy crimson. 
•/ Dr. Marx, rosy carmine, very large. 
Due d'Alen9on, pink, \ery beautiful. 
Due d'Aumale, bright crimson. 
Duchesse de Galiera, brilliant rose. 
■* Duchess of Sutherland, mottled bright rose. 
'^ Geant des Batailles, very nearly scarlet. 
Henry IV., brilliant deep pink. 
Jaques Lafitte, deep bright rose. 
■^ Lady Alice Peel, deep pink. 
■ La Reine, fine glossy large rose.

j\Iadame Laffay, bright crimson.

All the above are as hardy as weeds, and 
they would form an excellent collection, for 
they are fragrant as well as perpetual ; and 
the two or three which are marked fragrant 
are merely more remarkable for their fra- 
grance than the generality of roses. Another 
recommendation is, that they are free bloom- 
ers, opening well, and forming good single 
blooms, to show as dahlias are exhibited. We 
do not recommend any body to grow the old 
cabbage rose; the room it occupies is as much 
as any of the varieties we have mentioned 
would take up, and there is this difference : 
the cabbage rose blooms once perhaps for 
nearly three weeks in June and July, whereas 
those we have mentioned v.ill blow all the 
summer. We need hardly say that we con- 
sider all the room taken up by the summer 
roses — that is to say, those which bloom in 
June or July only — completely wasted ; and 
they are, in fact, now excluded from all really 
good establishments, where perpetual flower- 
ing is kept up in all the beds and borders. But 
we can stretch our list to almost any length, 
and still keep to the constantly flowering 
kinds ; for instance : — 
■ Acidalie, large white.
