Of TREES, SHRUBS, PLANTS, FLOWERS, and FRUITS. 
All the different fpecies and varieties of Rofes may 
be planted any where as principal fummer ornaments 
to every garden, proper to adorn borders, fhrubberies, 
and other compartments, where thought eligible, in 
almoft any foil, fttuation, and expofure, planted either 
in fingle ftems, cutting or clearing away all lateral 
and bottom fhoots and branches therefrom, and fhorten 
long, ftraggling tops and rambling flioots; or others, 
growing branchy from the bottom, cutting out any 
very irregular growths, may be planted in that order, 
to grow at once more bufhy, if required; and, in plant¬ 
ing, difpofe them generally in fome front or confpicu- 
ous fituations next the walks, lawns. &c. where they 
may appear ornamental when flowering. 
In their advancing growth, either trained fome with 
fingle ftems, as above intimated, of one or two feet, 
or more, by clearing away all flde-fhoots and fuckers 
from the roots, in which they will form the handfomeft 
plants, with regular heads, and produce larger flow¬ 
ers ; or others may be permitted to branch out from 
the bottom in a more full and bufhy manner; and in 
all of which, as they will fometimes run out in ram¬ 
bling flioots, they fhouid have occafional pruning, 
either fometimes in fummer, in very rude fhoots, or 
principally in autumn, winter, or fpring, to regulate 
general diforderly growths, and to cut out decayed 
wood, alfo to eradicate fuckers from the roots. 
As fome forts have flender, ftraggling brrncnes, as 
in the ever-green and Mufk Rofes, and fome others, 
it is proper to give them fupport of flakes, to keep 
them in an upright growth; or fome of thefe forts 
trained to walls. 
Likewife, Rofes are fometimes planted and trained 
in low hedges, two or three feet high, both for orna¬ 
ment and to produce large quantities of flowers, to gather 
either for boequets or (economical occafions; and, for 
which purpofe, having a quantity of fuckers or full 
plants, they may be planted in a fingle row, either 
along the back or front of a border, a foot afunder ; 
ana when all are planted, cut the tops even to an 
equal height, of half a yard or two or three feet; 
and as they will annually (hoot out ftrongly at fides 
and tops, they fhouid be cut in regular with a knife or 
garden ft, trs, either in autumn, when done flower¬ 
ing, or in winter or fpring. 
The Eglanteria or Sweet-briar, for its fweet feent, 
is alfo fo; ed into fmall hedges occafionally, either by 
fowing the feed in a drill where the hedge is intended, 
and the plants to remain ; or by planting young feed- 
lin" plants from a nurfery, when of one or two years 
oldl as taey do not fucceed well when tranfplanted of 
large growth ; the roots are apt to be woody and na¬ 
ked of fibres, that will not flrike freely, like young 
plants. 
Or Rofes may alfo be planted agab fl walls or pal¬ 
ings, and the branches nailed thereto in regular order, 
in which they will flower very agreeably ; or fome 
monthly rofes, or any principal or more deflrabie A rts 
planted again!! fouth walls, it will promote their early 
flowering; and as fome forts are of ftraggling grov. 
as in the ever-grecn and Mufk Rofes, &c. it would be 
eligible to plant fome again!! walls or rails, in which 
to train the branches regularly. 
Some principal forts may alfo be planted in pots, for 
moving therein, when in flower, to adorn any parti¬ 
cular parts. 
Alfo, where any are required for forcing, they 
fhouid be planted in pots, ready to introduce in hot- 
houfes or forcing-frames, &c. of artificial heat, in 
the proper feafon, winter or early in the fpring; and 
in which they may be forwarded to an early bloom, in 
February, March, and April, two or three months 
before their natural feafon in the open ground. 
The general propagation or method of increafing 
and raifing mof! of the different kinds of Rofes, is 
principally by fuckers from the root, fent up very abun¬ 
dantly every fummer, fit to plant off next autumn or 
winter, &c. or alfo occafionally by layers, or efpe- 
cially where any do not furnifh fuckers freely, fuch as 
in the Mofs Provence Rofe, which is generally fparing 
in fuckers; and, in default thereof, this and any other 
curious forts of fimilar nature are either raifed by lay¬ 
ers of the young branches, or by budding them upon 
any common Role liocks. 
However, the propagation by fuckers obtain more 
or lefs in all the forts; they being produced in 
fpring and fummer, may be feparated or digged up, 
when of one or two years growth, in autumn, winter, 
or fpring, with root3 to each; prune long, ftraggling 
parts of the root, and fhorten the weak tops; and ntay 
be planted, either fome in a nurfery for training to a 
proper growth, or ftrong ones may be planted at once 
where they are to continue for flowering. 
As Rofes often, in their natural Hate, run up with 
feveral fuckers, which, permitted to remain, become fo 
many ftems in a large, bufhy growth, in which cafe 
the whole plant may occafionally be taken up, and the 
cncreafed parts divided into feparate ftems, with roots 
to each, and planted, each forming a diftind! plant. 
Layers, where intended, mud be of the young 
fhoots, laying them in the autumn or fpring, and they 
will be rooted in one fummer for planting in the au¬ 
tumn following. 
Or may raife Rofes from the feed to obtain new va 
rictias; and may be fowed in the autumn or fpring, in 
E e a bed
