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 be 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 iS inches just before 
winter. In spring this should be removed, and the plants cut back as far as they are killed. Even the 
tender greenhouse Roses may be grown outside in this way.
