Don't plant « bush that habitually grows four fect high by fall, 
beside one that habitually grows two fcot high, and then try to

eur careful descriptions carcfully. 
Always disbud your blooms, lenving one bud on the end of 2 stem,

of devclopment. For garden display disbud heavily, too. If 
you force a stem to supply food to three or five or ten roses in- 
stead of ono, naturally they will all be far ‘infcrior to. fine 
disbuddcd bloom.
