Roses Budded upon Manetti Stock

all distinct, or $12.50 for 50 plants. 
(READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY) 
Some varieties of Roses are almost impossible to propagate upon their own roots, and unless these are 
grown upon Manetti their cultivation would have to be discontinued. Others produce finer flowers when 
budded or grafted upon the Manetti stock. They are especially desirable for Florida and warm climates, 
as their roots penetrate the soil to a great depth. 
Budded Roses should be planted sufficiently deep so that the junction of the bud with the stock is from 
2 to 3 inches below the surface of the earth. Do not overlook this. 
The Budded Roses should be carefully watched, and all suckers or shoots which grow out from below 
the place where the bud is inserted must be removed. See photograph, page 39. If this is neglected the stock 
will outgrow the bud and failure will surely follow. 
The foliage of the Manetti is composed of from 7 to 9 leaflets, whereas Tea, Hybrid and Bourbon Roses 
usually have but five.
