‘Rjzses 
Roses like a good, ricli. deep loam. There is little danger of getting tho 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 Hoses may be grown by banking up a foot or 18 inches, just before winter. In 
spring this should be removed, and the plants cut back as far as they are killed. Even tho tender green¬ 
house Roses may be grown outside in this way.
