EXPERT OPINION 
(From The Evening Bulletin—Philadelphia, 
Sept. 12, 1925) 
Don’t Bother with Budding or Crafting. 
Briar is Always a Nuisance. 
“The common belief that all modern roses must 
be budded cur 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 produced. 
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 treat¬ 
ment and it will come in first every time. 
The gardener who sets out to grow roses on 
their own roots simplifies his work.”
