side shoots that appear and cut out en-
tirely the canes that come inside.
Third-If you want summer and late
fall blooms, cut back after the first
blooming season. Much of this can be
done when roses are cut FOR the house,
the hospital and the "shut-ins. Make
liberal stem to each rose you cut, OBJ
serving the rule of cutting to an out
pointing eye. If this leaves too much
stem on the cut rose, 1T can be trimmed
after the cutting
Fourth-Remember that insects rare
ly ever deposit their eggs on the lower
part of the rose branches. If the final
pruning IN the spring is close one,
and every cutting is burned, it Will
mean the destruction of thousands of
rose pests
Fifth-Late in the fall cut out all
weak growth and cut back the canes
80 that not too much bush is left to be
switched around by the winter winds,
thus working the mulching and soil away
from the rose and endangering loss by
freezing. In the spring cut out all ex
tra canes and cut back the canes that
are left 80 that an attractive bush will
result. Hybrid perpetual roses should,
as q rule, be cut back vigorously; hy
brid tea roses not so much and tea roses
less yet. But these are only general
rules.
Many of the new roses are law unto
themselves when it comes to pruning.
Hugh Dickson, J. p. Clark, magnifi,
cent rose, If properly pruned, Mrs.
Stewart Clark. DR. 0 'Donel Brown and
q few other vigorous growers, need to
have special pruning or you get poor
roses. The rule for these roses is to
cut out entirely all but from four to
six canes, and cut the remaining canes
back very moderately When the new,
rank canes shoot up they should be
cut off when about three feet high.
Side branches will then form and give
magnificent roses. If these roses are
pruned back like the weaker growers
should be. the result will be rampant
growth of bush and few and inferior
roses. This is true Of many of the new
and vigorous hybrid tea roses. Indeed,
despite all | could do with them, Mrs.
Stewart Clark and DR.. o 'Donel Brown
have done but little else but make bush
all this year. They are in for one more
year IS trial and then, if they do not
reform, they 90 to the incinerator
where ! long ago consigned Killarney
Her Majesty, and some other mildew
breeders,
Lady Ashtown, Betty Jenny Guile

saer Ga beautiful rose that is not grown
as much as it should be) and others OF
the same character Of growth, will dc
better if FIVE or six, or even more
canes are left and those cut back about
one half the length of cane. Always
remember to cut out all center growth
as well as cut the canes that are left
to an out pointing eye. There is NJ
rule Of pruning so absolutely impera
tive as TO cut so the center of the busf
is kept open for sunshine and air.
Then such roses as Captain Cbristy
Marchioness of Downshire, Mrs. R. G
Sharman Crawford, Mildred Grant anc
Frau Karl Druscki, with the more o.
less pronounced Characteristic of growtI
OF putting out two or more branches IL
cluster, must be pruned to where ther'
seems to be only one out-pointing eye
and then rub off. as soon as they appear
all growth of branches save one at eaci
point.
