Kerr your ground round 
the roses free from weeds 
and the soil loose, to pre- 
yent evaporation, Avoid 
digging near the roots or 
the young fibres will be 
injured and your blooms 
affected. It is a very good 
practice after watering or 
rain to lightly stir the 
ground with hoe or fork. 
A‘very effective way of 
training Vigorous growing 
“roses is to select strong 
shooty and tie them down 
at regular intervals to a_ 
ring of wire surrounding 
the plant at, say, 5 or 6 
ft. from the stem. This 
gives an umbrella form 
and causes the buds to 
break regularly fro:n the 
hase to the end of the 
shoots. W, A. Richard- 
son, Beauty of Glazen- 
woud, Cloth of Gold and 
Roses of similar habit, 
either as tall or “low 
_ standards, treated in this 
manner are most effective 
for garden decoration, All 
the pruning required is to 
‘cut the flowering shoots 
back when the blooms are 
done The main branches 
will last for several years, 
when they can be replaced 
_ by younger growth.
