ROSE GROWING MADE EASY 
Don’t Bother with Budding or Grafting. 
Briar is Always a Nuisance. 
‘‘The common belief that all modern roses must be 
budded or grafted to secure permanent trees is not 
accurate, says ‘Answers’ (England). Roses growing on 
their own roots will give results equal to any produced 
on briars. 
Growing budded roses is a source of endless trouble 
to many novices. The briar grows up and the grower, 
not knowing it from the real rose growth, allows it full 
scope. In a year or two the briar has asserted itself, 
taken full control, and nothing but dog roses are pro¬ 
duced. 
With roses on their own roots, there is never any of 
this trouble. Should the bush be cut down by frost at 
any time and the roots not harmed, real rosewood is 
again produced in the spring. On the other hand, many 
amateurs have set out to plant a rose bed and secured 
the best of budded stock but in a year or two have had 
only briars for their trouble. 
With a budded rose you may get more vigorous 
growth, and probably a more robust bloom, but give a 
rose, growing on its own roots liberal treatment and it 
will come in first every time. 
The gardener who sets out to grow roses on their own 
roots simplifies his work.”
