Roses. 
T HERE is no doubt as to the universal popularity of the rose. The fact that many of 
the most beautiful of the varieties are perfectly hardy and thrive luxuriantly in the 
garden is a source of congratulation to lovers of out-of-door gardening. Enthusiasts 
at work with the rose, by various hybrids and crosses, have succeeded in producing no 
end ot variety of form, color, and fragrance of bloom and the greatest variety of habit of 
growth, trom the little fairy roses of a few inches in height to the rampant growth of the 
well-known and popular ramblers. By a selection of suitable varieties one can have roses 
tor almost any garden position. 
All roses respond quickly to good treatment. By this we mean well enriched soil, enough 
water, suitable trimming, etc. failure to get good results is often caused by lack of suf- 
cient teitility. Under usual conditions it is well to make the ground one-fifth well rotted 
manure to a depth of at least fifteen inches when preparing for a new planting with a lib- 
' • .sprinkling of wood ashes and ground bone added, and an annual mulching of at least 
ix inches deep of coarse stable manure about the roots applied late in the Fall and forked 
■m, m the early bpring is a great help. Roses planted and treated under these conditions, 
e ground is well drained, should luxuriate to such a degree as to satisfy everyone.
