ROSE  ANALYSIS,  1892-1899. 
THE  time  has  once  more  arrived  when  amateur 
growers  should  be  thinking  of  sending  their 
orders  for  the  season  to  the  Rose  nurseries. 
Many  omit  to  do  this  until  nearly  Christmas,  or 
even  later,  and  so  lose  their  chance  of  obtaining' 
the  best  plants  of  all  the  varieties  they  may 
require.  Besides  which,  in  so  doing  they  forget 
what  a  great  advantage  it  is  to  have  their  newly 
purchased  treasures  planted  while  there  is  yet 
sufficient  warmth  in  the  ground  to  enable  them  to 
obtain  some  slight  hold  of  the  soil  before  the  winter 
sets  in.  The  appearance  of  this  analysis  should 
therefore  remind  all  inteuding  planters  that  they 
cannot  do  better,  after  consulting  it,  than  draw  up 
their  lists  and  send  them  in  without  further  delay. 
In  fact,  my  principal  object  in  compiling  these 
analyses,  and  the  lists  at  the  end  giving  the 
varieties  which  are  most  easily  grown,  has  been  to 
enable  all  classes  of  rosarians  to  select  the  varieties 
most  suitable  for  the  purpose  they  have  in  view, 
whether  required  for  the  exhibition  table  or  for 
ordinary  garden  cultivation. 
The  past  Rose  season  was  again  a  backward 
one,  and  consequently  has  again  favoured  our 
analysis,  there  having  been  previous  to  last  year 
such  a  long  run  of  unusually  early  seasons.  Un¬ 
fortunately,  besides  being  very  backward,  the 
summer  of  1899  was  also  extremely  hot  and  dry, 
which  will,  no  doubt,  to  a  great  extent  account 
for  the  indifferent  way  in  which  many  choice 
varieties  in  the  tables  were  represented  at  this 
year’s  exhibition. 
The  Roses  which  will  allow  of  this  being  done, 
and  they  include  all  except  a  small  proportion  of  the 
number  tabulated,  are  placed  in  the  two  lists 
according  to  their  average  records  for  the  last  eight 
years,  as  I  find  from  experience  that  this  term  of 
years  gives  as  a  rule  the  most  comparable  and 
satisfactory  results.  If  a  loDger  period  be  used  the 
influence  of  the  newer  sorts  as  they  make  their 
way  upwards  in  the  tables  has  not  its  due  weight. 
Then,  again,  if  a  shorter  period  be  selected  the 
effect  of  individual  seasons  has  undue  influence.
