MONTHLY ROSES. 
The roses intended for blooming in summer, should 
be fresh shifted in October, and placed in the green¬ 
house, cold frame, or pit, where they will require only 
the ordinary treatment of green-house plants. Give 
them but little water, when not in a growing state, 
and keep them clear of dead leaves and insects; they 
will come into flower early in Spring. 
Roses of these kinds grow and flower much finer 
when planted in the open ground, and if set out in 
April, or early in May, in a good soil, and in an open 
situation, they will grow to large plants, and flow'er 
beautifully all the summer. Take them up by the 
middle of October, pot, and place them in a frame, 
or a situation where they can be protected from the 
frost and heavy rains, until they have recovered their 
removal ; then clear away the dead leaves, tie up 
such as require it, and place them in their situations 
for winter. 
When roses are brought into the house, and placed 
in room windows, they will continue in flower till 
late in the fall, or even to mid-winter ; but the heat 
of the rooms will at this time, cause them to drop 
their leaves, and they should be placed in a cooler 
room, or in the cellar during the severe weather. To¬ 
wards Spring, they may be placed in the parlor again, 
and they will soon grow out and flower finely. 
The whole of this class of roses grow freely from 
cuttings taken during the summer, but they root 
more freely in Spring and Autumn. Take the cut¬ 
tings from the ripe shoots of the previous growth ; cut 
them close below a joint, than fill pots for as many as 
are wanted, with rich light sandy soil, and plant the
