THE a ARDEN 1 NO WORLD, 
August 6, 1964. 
may be rooted and the young plants grown to some size much 
more quickly than if from cuttings. You should make a point 
of propagating Pinks every year for the purpose of large 
blooms, at least. In June you could take cuttings and insert 
them on a slight hotbed made up in a cold frame ; that is, you 
could put about 10 in. or 12 in. of fermenting manure into a 
cold frame, tread it down firmly, and then place a layer of 
4 in. of soil on the surface of this. Make the soil firm, and 
insert the cuttings in it rather thickly. If done in June, they 
should be rooted and ready to plant out about the middle of 
July. If the ground is ready to receive them, they could be 
put in their permanent positions then, but, if space cannot 
be obtained for them at that time, they could be planted out 
in nursery lines about 4 in. or 6 in. apart, so that the young 
plants can branch out and become bushy before autumn. As 
soon as the ground is ready they can then be transferred to 
their permanent positions, so that they can become estab¬ 
lished before winter. Your best plan at present would be to 
layer some of the best of the cuttings and get as strong plants 
as you can before autumn. 
Propagating Crimson Rambler Roses. 
Would Crimson Rambler succeed better on its own roots than 
on the Brier, as I have some stocks of the latter, but am doubt¬ 
ful how this rose would succeed on it? (A. C.) 
It is not the usual custom to work the Rambler Roses on the 
ordinary Brier stock. The best plan is to bud them on the De 
la Grifferae stock. The latter is a strong-growing Rose that has 
been proved suitable for strong growing, or Rambler Roses 
generally, and, provided you have none of this stock, you might 
strike some cuttings so as to try how the plant would succeed 
on its own roots. Crimson Rambler is of strong constitution, 
and we see no reason why it might not be grown upon its own 
roots. If you require large numbers of Rambler Roses for 
planting out in various situations in the garden and grounds it 
might be worth your while to get some stocks that are known to 
bo'suitable for strong-growing Roses. We would advise you to 
sow the seeds of Rosa rugosa., which has been found a useful stoc.c 
for this class of Roses. In case you wish to produce standard 
Ramblers, the plan is to grow on seedlings of Rosa rugosa for 
one year, and then cut down the seedlings within a short dis¬ 
tance from the ground in March. These seedlings then throw 
up strong stems, some of which will be ready for budding the 
first year, and weaker specimens should be strong enough the 
second year. It is only recently that this Japanese Rose has 
.been discovered as a suitable stock for Rambler Roses, and 
being easily raised from seeds, it would be worth your while 
providing yourself with a bed of seedlings as stocks for Ram¬ 
bler Roses.
