ROSE. 
127 
Such kinds of these roses as throw up suckers 
freely, may be increased by separating them from the 
parent plant in the spring, and shortening their tops 
and setting them out either in nursery rows, or where 
they are to flow T er. Those that do not sucker freely 
are usually increased by layering or budding. 
2. Hardy Running Rose. —Under this term may 
be included the following kinds. Rubifolia or Pra¬ 
irie Rose, Boursault Rose, Ayrshire Rose, and 
Hybrid Running, of various kinds. 
Many of this class of Roses are very strong growing 
plants, and not unfrequently send up shoots from the 
main stems, ten or fifteen feet high in one season, over¬ 
topping the shrubs that grow near them ; others 
again, as Ayrshire creepers, and Multiflora trail along 
the ground, or support themselves by bushes growing 
near them, if not otherwise trained. 
This class of Roses strike their roots much deeper 
in the ground than those lastly described, and also 
extend them considerably along the surface in quest 
of nourishment. They grow best in a deep rich 
sandy loam, and require to be well manured. They 
also thrive in a much less airy or open situation than 
Bush Roses as long as they are not overtopped by 
large trees, or otherwise entirely shaded ; nor do they 
require so much pruning as the other sort, for it ren¬ 
ders them less productive of flowers. 
These roses are much used for pillars, and training 
up verandas, &c., for which they are well adapted, 
making more show than the generality of climbing 
plants when in flower.
