Roses. Our stock of Roses this season is very fine, 
both for mailing and sending by express. Those offered 
as large plant have been bedded out, or grown in pots 
the past season, and wintered in cold-frame ; they can 
be planted out in the spring with little or no risk. The 
rose requires high culture ; it should be planted in good, 
well-drained soil ; the ground can scarcely be made too 
rich. The pruning required will vary with the sorts 
planted, the rank-growing requiring less pruning than 
the weak ones. The points particularly to be observed 
are to prune before the buds start in spring, to cut out 
all unripe or old and feeble shoots, and to cut back the 
last season’s growth to from one-half to two-thirds its 
length, according to the vigor of the sorts. Winter pro¬ 
tection of tender sorts is accomplished by covering after 
a few' severe frosts, with I -»vcs, straw, evergreen boughs, 
or earth, or by removing the plants to a cool cellar. 
With a little care of this kind, the choicest tender roses 
may be safely wintered, and as they are the only really 
l>erpctual roses, they are abundantly worth the extra 
care. The insects most commonly injurious to the rose 
—as the Aphas, which appear in great numbers upon 
the young, growing shoots, and the Thrips, which prey 
upon the under side of the leaf, giving it a sickly’, yel¬ 
lowish look, may easily be destroyed by syringing or 
dipping the plants in tobacco water. Purchasers will do 
better by allowing us some latitude in making selec¬ 
tions, not only getting better plants, but greater dis¬ 
tinction of variety.
