Bow to Root Roses and Shrubs.
Borne varieties of roses will not grow from cuttings. To root them pass the prsnch selected through a 4 inch flower pot. Let the end of the stem extend an inch or so beyond the rim; then fill the pot with sand and dry earth. Seep it warm by watering two or three times a week, and when the leaves begin to grow cut the stem at the bottom of the Jar about half off. The whole may Im kept upright by tying the pot to the main stalk with a string. In a short time you will find small fibrous roots and can cut it off entirely, and when large enough it can be removed careful-ly-from the small pot and transplanted.
