These charming little Roses, sometimes 
called “‘Miniatures,” seldom grow more 
than a foot high. Though small and 
dainty, they are comparatively hardy, 
even in cold climates. They should never 
be planted right m among other ever- 
blooming Roses, although they do make 
nice edging plants for the small Rose- 
garden. They have many uses in rock 
and alpine gardens and with low peren- 
nials.

While most of these offered are 2-year fiteld-grown plants, 
some Species are so difficult to propagate by our usual methods ~ 
that we are forced to grow them in pots, but these will be found 
to be just as sturdy as our usual field-grown stock. 
Pruning: This may present quite a problem to the amateur, 
but nothing need be done to them beyond cutting out dead 
wood and enough surplus growth to keep the plants shapely
