ROSES, continued 
With the exception of some of the Ramblers and Rugosas, all the Roses we send out are strong, heavy 
plants, budded very low upon a very strong, hardy root-system. This is the only class of Roses that can be 
depended upon to give immediate results, furnishing an abundance of bloom the first season. While it is a 
much-discussed question, and there are still some who are prejudiced against budded plants, the only practical 
objection can be the possibility of suckers from the wild stock. The very low budding of the plants we send 
out allows the buds to be planted about 3 to 4 inches below the surface of the ground, which practically 
eliminates this trouble, the Roses eventually becoming established on their own roots, thrown out 
above the graft. 
An occasional sucker may be easily detected, if it is borne in mind that the Hybrid Teas bear five large 
leaflets of smooth texture, and the wild shoot bears seven small, rough leaflets, and are thickly covered with 
small thorns. They can thus be readily distinguished and should be removed at once, if they appear. 
Dormant Roses for immediate planting can be sent out in late fall or early spring, until April 20. After 
that date, and during the summer, Roses can be sent out only from 5- to 6-inch pots.
