Extra Tall Standard Weeping Roses 
4 to 4| feet, 3/6 each ; 5 to 6 feet, 5/- each ; 7 feet and oyer, 7/6 each. 
Standard Roses on tall stems, planted singly in various parts of the garden, or to form a centre in 
a large bed, make very handsome and attractive objects. They must be firmly staked and the long 
trailing shoots should be arched over and tied to the stems, umbrella fashion, to grow as weepers ; 
also see Special trainers page 84, after one season the shoots will retain their positions, and send 
out lots of laterals, blooming freely throughout the Summer. Only slight pruning is necessary if 
planted in Autumn, but if left till the Spring they should be cut fairly close, otherwise the drying 
winds of March and April will cause them to gradually die back, as the roots are not sufficiently 
established to sustain the head so far from the base. When once established little pruning 
will be necessary other than to cut out surplus wood and shorten the ends of the long trailing shoots.
