a mere bramble. The Japanese Multiflora 
Rose is really nothing much more than that. 
But it has exceedingly good roots, and that is 
why it is used. 
And, water your Roses in well after 
planting. Set your hose for a light spray, 
then let it run until the sround is really 
saturated. 
A good plan is to make a little irrigation 
ditch around the Rose three or four inches 
deep, and five or six inches away from the 
base of the plant. 
In the case of Roses, this watering-in 
is really a part of the planting, and it is an 
important part. 
Rose Cultivation 
Many flowers get along with only a little 
cultivation, but Roses really require a liberal 
amount. They should be hoed or cultivated 
shallowly all through the season, at intervals 
of every week or ten days, or as soon as the 
ground can be worked after a rain. Keep the 
top soil stirred and loose. 
Controlling Insects and 
Diseases 
Clean cultivation will go a long way 
towards keeping your Roses healthy, but it 
must be admitted that there are various in- 
sects and diseases that will visit them. Aphids 
are one of the insects that you may ex- 
pect, and there are some fungus diseases, and 
there are some epicurean insects that consid- 
er Roses especially, a delicacy, such as the 
Rose chafer.
