As there appears to be an ever-increasing demand for 
this rose, and many customers experience a difficulty 
in growing it to perfection, the following hints, it is 
hoped, may prove useful. 
If grown out-doors it should be given a warm, dry 
situation on a west or south wall, and pruned early in 
April, as instructed under the heading of Climbing Roses. 
To obtain Marechal Niel in the height of its beauty and 
productiveness it should be grown in a cool house 
either planted out in the house or on a standard briar 
stem with the root planted outside in a carefully prepared 
bed, and the head carried under glass through the wood 
or wall side, just so as to appear above any staging 
(much in the same way as with vines). After planting, 
remember the dry atmosphere of the house is likely to 
cause the shoots to die back unless frequently syringed 
until it is established and growing ; water must also be 
given at the root when required. Prune hard back 
the first season to produce growth of two or three 
good strong shoots for training along or up the house 
about 18 in. from the glass, the next and following seasons 
cut back directly after flowering to these strong selected
