About this book
Roses and Rose Growing announces a chapter on HOW TO GROW ROSES FOR EXHIBITION, by the Rev. F. Page-Roberts. A passage on soil says that where the ground is poor, as in the writer's own garden, every rose-bed has to be made three feet deep. The book says nothing in this case produces such excellent results as the top spit of an old pasture, and that the turf should be pared off carefully, and then the first nine inches of brown fibrous loam beneath taken out.
Lists group the roses in colour, and Baronne de Hoffmann, a vigorous grower, vivid copper-red, with yellow base, is named among roses that are little known in English gardens. A passage on boxes says the tray of the box should be covered with moss, and that a little air is given by putting a prop under the lid, and the box is left in a cool place.
