PROTECTING ROSES.
How These Beautiful Plants Should be
Taken Care of in Winter.

How These Beautiful Plants Should be
Taken Care of in Winter.
Your note, asking what to do with
rose-bushes to preserve them through
the winter, is not easily answered, be-
cause it depends on the facilities of the
owner. The Hybrid Perpetuals should
be hilled up with dirt as high as con-
venient, say one foot high. Then you
may wrap them in straw, bound on
lengthwise to the top. Itneeds but very
little straw l do nothing with mine
but to hill them up, and, when conven-
lent, place about them few evergreen
| boughs. The main point is to protect
| them from the winters sun. The
Chinas, like Hermosa, and the harder
Teas, and the Hybrid Teas, can be cut
sharply back, and hilled up nearly to
the top. Leave few inches of the bush
| protruding. Where roses are tall, or
| climbing, like Baltimore Belle and
! Queen of Prairies, lay them flat to the
ground, and peg them down. also in
vert sods over mine. 1t needs care not
to smother and rot roses. 1t is poor
! policy to burden yourself with many ten
der roses in our Northern cline; for they
are not safe with any sort of care. Very
small roses are as a rule more tender
than old ones. If, however, you have
any, bind the tops on a slope of forty
| five degrees, and cover up to the tips.
Be sure they are free from all settling of
water
When | have seeding, or something
| can not afford to lose, | pot it for my
conservatory. But amateurs are sure to
be discouraged if they attempt to keep
many pot roses. They need cool, light
place near the glass, and are favorites
with red spiders.
Hybrid Perpetuals bloom from old
wood, and can not judiciously be cut
down as closely as Chinas Any one
who undertakes to keep large stock of
roses will occasionally, under the best
| treatment, lose pot. The use of ever
green branches, suggested above, is ex-
cellent, if procurable.
One more note must be added. 1t
makes vast difference with the en-
durance of a rose-bush whether it has
been properly ripened. Let the bushes
alone mostly after August, instead of
stimulating them. Prune out weak
shoots, and keep them always clean of
insects. To do that use the kerosene
emulsion, or sprinkle with water in
which a spoonful of kerosene is mixed.
Remember, in the use of straw or that
class of covering material, that it is
good stuff for mice to nest in, and
should, therefore, not be spread about,
or the mice will make havoc of the ten
der shoots The best dirt for killing
can be wheeled out of a good, fertile
corn-field or potato-field, or taken from
compost heap of rotten turf. First,
hoe the dirt up that surrounds the
plants SO far as possible without dis
turbing the roots. The additional dirt,
in the spring, should be kept ON the
beds, spread. When soil is heavy clay
l have used few shovels of coal-ashe,
in killing; but do not use the ashes of
bituminous coal. am not certain that
the other is really advantageous.-E. p.
