winter and spring.—Let us ‘illustrate this’ by a ‘patch, fall planted, at 
Rewston (my other living), about 800 yards from my house, on the 
other side of the river, where the land is better than here, but open 
entirely to the east, with but little protection from the north, and with 
high Thorn hedges on the south and west. Out of 28 purchased Briar 
Roses, nine died, two are weak, and two died to the stock, but are now 
doing well. Out of 137 Manetti Roses planted at the same time by 
their side, four died, and three died to the base, but have broken and 
appear to be doing well, If we draw a comparison between the two 
from my home Roses, which on the side and base of eastern hill and 
valley, where the winds are furious, the Briar Roses will suffer great 
disparagement. The Roses and Briars for budding, at both places, 
including a fine specimen of the Duchess of Norfolk, now in her fifth 
year, and planted against my north wall ‘at the commencement of this 
dismal winter, were all shown to my two distinguished visitors. This 
last tree now stands over six feet, and covered with buds and fine foliage; 
a proof that Manetti Roses can be removed with success, and a standing 
memorial of Mr. Wocd’s good taste in introducing this fine Rose.
