A Bowl of Multiflora Roses. 
Roses 
Roses like a good, rich, deep loam. There is little danger of getting the soil too rich. Shallow, sandy 
or gravelly soils are not suited to them. When it is necessary to plant in such soils as these, an artificial 
compost should he made by taking out a foot and a half of this natural soil, and filling in with rich, heavy 
loam. In cold climates Roses may be grown by banking up a foot or 18 inches, just before winter. In 
spring this should be removed, and the plants cut bac 
house Roses may be grown outside in this way.
