Roses like a good, rich, deop 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 as these, an arti¬ 
ficial soil should be made by taking out a foot and a half of this natural soil, and lining in with rich, 
heavy loam. The hardy sorts are best transplanted in October. Tea varieties, or other tender sorts, 
which need protection in winter, are best planted in spring. In cold climates Roses may bo 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 the tender greenhouso Roses may bo grown outside in this 
way.
