Rose culture is a specialty with us and we propagate immense quantities of hardy varieties on 
their own roots and budded on the Manetti. 
ROSES ON THE MANETTI STOCK. 
“ Considering that the Manetti has held its own for nearly half a century, there can be no question 
of its merit or value as a stock, it was the Manetti that brought new life to the Rose, and with it began 
a new era in Rose growing. We are indebted to this stock for the enormous increase in the cultivation 
of the Rose, and the commercial industry it has brought about. Amateurs who formerly grew only a 
few dozen Roses soon began to grow thousands.”—j ohn Cranston in The Carden.
