J On the twelve hybrid perpetual
roses winter protection Is not sbso-
ultely necessary. but the hybrid tes
varieties must be protected. and W.
would prefer to protect both collections
Our method would be about the 18th
or goth OF November, or on the approach
OF cold weather, to make a mound OF
soil at the base OF each plant from
eight to twelve inches high, covering
this mound Of soil with evergreen
branches II conveniently obtainable
II not. a couple Of inches Of leaves %
long littery manure. All OF this can be
removed about March 20. The plants
should then be pruned and Will b<
ready to give returns.
We at all times give preference e
budded or grated plants. These ir
planting should be set at such depth
that the point At which they are buddec
or grated 10 from one and one-hal'
to two inches below the surface OF tht
soil When so planted II Is but rarely
that a wild sucker appear.
Our preference for the budded plant.
is because many Of the best varieties
Of roses produce but a weak growth
In this climate when grown on thell
own roots.
