T HE bulk of our Roses are field-grown plants, having 
been cultivated in fields during the growing sea¬ 
sons of 1 936 and 1 937. In fall they were carefully 
dug, planted in pots and stored in cold storehouses, 
where artificial heat is only used to exclude severe 
frost and are then moved into frames outdoors in early 
spring and gradually exposed to the weather. Under 
this treatment the plants develop in the most natural 
way and are much superior to stock which has been 
forced in a high temperature into an unnatural and 
weakened growth, and to comparatively worthless 
Roses which are sold so cheaply in a dormant con¬ 
dition.
