POLVANTHA ROSES
' CULTIVATE A BED. For those who have little time to spare in the garden, a bed devoted to the cultivation of polyantha roses is always a success. They are among the best of things for blooming the greater part of the year. There is very littlework'attached to them, as all they require is a; deeply-dug, well-manured bed to start with. Plant fairly close together so as to do away as much as possible with an annual top-dressing of manure. The weakest shoots should be cut out and lightly pruned back each year. They will then carry on for t many years without replacing. There are quite a number to choose from and the colours are very striking. A wide border of aubretia will give the bed a little colour in spring, and this should be cut hard back each year after flowering.
