Protecting  Standard  Roses  ;  Ailing  Daphne 
1.  AY  ill  you  tell  me  the  best  way  to 
protect  it  emiph'  of  tree,  roses  through  the 
Winter V  2.  I  have  a  large  ported  Daphne 
odora  which  came  to  bloom  full  <>f  buds, 
but  they  are  all  dropping  off  without  ex¬ 
panding,  and  the  plant  looks  sick,  though 
not  yellow.  Dan  you  conjecture  what  is 
the  matter  with  it'/  w.  G.  x. 
St.  Peters,  Pa. 
1.  A  satisfactory  method  of  protecting 
'standard  roses  is  to  place  around  the 
plant  a  rough  box’  of  boards  and  fill  this 
with  tightly  packed  earth,  coming  up 
over  the  juncture  of  the  stem  with  the 
rose  itself.  The  box  should  be  about 
two  feet  square.  Another  method  is  to 
bend  down  the  whole  plant  after  care¬ 
fully  loosening  the  roots,  and  lay  it  in 
a  trench,  covering  heavily  with  earth. 
Sometimes  these  standards  are  wrapped 
in  carpet  or  other  heavy  material  for 
protection,  but  results  are  not  nearly  as 
good  as  with  the  boxing  or  trench  sys¬ 
tems.  2.  The  usual  cause  of  trouble 
with  Daphne  odora  as  a  house  plant  is 
over-walering,  which  interferes  with 
propel’  root  action.  It  also  suffers  from 
over-potting — that  is,  removal  to  a  pot 
too  large  for  it,  and  still  further,  it  may 
he  in  too  warm  a  room.  Water  carefully; 
do  not  keep  the  soil  sodden,  hut  give  a 
good  watering  and  then  leave  it.  alone  un¬ 
til  judgment  indicates  more  water.  Do 
not  stand  the  pot  in  a  jardiniere  in  which 
standing  water  collects;  the  roots  need 
good  drainage.  If  is  not  unusual  for  the 
flowers  to  open  imperfectly  under  win¬ 
dow  conditions,  even  when  the  plant  is 
healthy,  but  it  is  most  probable  that  care 
In  watering  and  avoidance  of  too  high 
temperature  will  restore  the  plant  to 
health.
