Pkuning. — In most seasons it is best to prune established plants of hardy 
kinds in February. Tender varieties, such as the Tea Roses and newly planted 
Roses, may be left tiil a month later. As a general rule close pruning produces 
quality, and long pruning quantity of bloom. Climbing, Weeping and Pillar 
Roses should not be cut back ; but the tips of the shoots only should be taken 
off, and any weak or unripe shoots cut out altogether.
