Extra Tall Standard Weeping Roses. 
4 to 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 firmlv 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 6o), after one season 
the shoots will retain their positions, and send out lots of laterals, blooming freely through¬ 
out 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.
