: ■■-■■.•• ["Field."} > There hardly exists a garden l —town, sub urban, or country—but has some example of the rose within its limits. In town and" suburban gardens by far the majority are grown as trained standard*, and poet fre quently in the country. The standard la the fashionable type, and, properly or not, is therefore/, the one most grown. Though there are-certain sorts of rosea which, will grow and tfcadve in : almost any poor binds of soil, yet to grow some of line newer or better kinds, a long list of old and tried varieties}? it is often difficult, if it be not im possible, without calling in the aid of long practise and come amount of foreign soil, or at least etiffer soil than is to ba found in many gardens of certain districts. First as to varieties. Some are mnoh more easily grown, and maintained longer in health, vigour, and abundant periodical ■bloom than are others. It is here we find " the rock" upon which, amidst a sea of advice, &c, many an earnest amateur comes to grief. He is about to grow a seleot few loses, f Hd he naturally inquires for the best six, twelve, or two dozen varieties which he intends to grow, ie done without giving any particulars; ana liß-ERJa»aUy.se erases for answer a list of the very finest blooms existent, but such as are perhaps amongst the least hardy, least enduring, and • inconstant in the matter of vigour and longe vity...He eseaye to grow them, finding, after a season or two, bis plants die away, espo ctHlyif he posseeseß light, itrong, and hot soil. Here his'fancy of. home encircled by rare and.rich rose wealth receives really an undeserved ch-'ct. Yet is the primary cause generally to be found in the inherent want of vigour of many of the varieties he purchased. Even though budded upon the most hardy and endurable of stocks, the wild rose briar, they fail often, without fcime amount of art, to grow so as to become established and ssias factory.- Indeed, some kinds, after lasting a year or two, seem to "die out" entirely, as witness the lovely 00l Eougemont of a few years past.
