NOW is about the time to prune rose
bushes and those who desire bet
ter roses next Summer should see
their plants are properly pruned. The
object of pruning is two-fold, to pro
duce the best blooms and to give the
bush better shape. Pruning is neces
sary because of the manner of the
natural grawth of the rose and when
one once realizes this he will more
readily understand the absolute neces
sity of each year cutting back the
growth.
If you have an unpruned bush In your
yard or, better still, if you have an
opportunity to observe a sweet briar
growing in the open field, study the
workings of nature. It will be ob
served that after flowering the strong
shoots of this year will gradually get
weaker and the best blooms in a year
or two come from shoots starting fur
ther down or from new shoots which
spring from the base. These new
shoots absorb all the sap and the origi
nal shoot is eventually starved; there
fore the old growth should be pruned
so the new growth can get all the sap.
This condition is most clearly set
forth in "The Practical Book of Out
door Rose Growing." by George C.
Thomas, Jr., which says: "Perhaps the
simplest and clearest illustration which
could be given would be to suppose a
rose cane has 15 buds or eyes on It;
from these buds or eyes spring the
shoots which afterwards become the
flower Btalks of the plant.
Prnaliir Dlmtrlbntea Smb.
"Now, If you did not prune St all.
but left the entire cane, the sustenance
received from the roots would be di
vided into 15 parts. As a matter of
fact the greatest amount would go to
the end or top of the carte and those
buds nearest the top, for in all plant
life it is more difficult to get the sap
to break the buds nearest the base,
especially if there is too great a dis
tance from that base to the top of the
lateral, limb or cane. ...
"We cut off, say. 10 of these buds
from the cane and the five remaining
will receive Jus- so much more sap and
there will be that much more chance of
the lowest buds breaking and tending
out their shoots. If the cane were not
cut the greater part of the 1 lp would
go to the few top buds and the lower
buds would be late in growing, some
possibly not breaking at all."
All roses should not be pruned alike,
but there are two general rules the
novice can follow r.nd later will come
that experience so that he will know
exactly how to handle each bush to get
the best blooms. The two general
rules are, first, always prune to an out
side eye, and, second, strong growers
should be pruned long and weak grow
ers short.
Taking up the first, rule, the object
of pruning to a bu- or eye pointing to
the outside is to direct the new growth
away from the center of the plant, for
the center of ne bush should be kept
open as much as possible to let in the
sun. xou want to bear In mind that
your bush should resemble the blooms
it is to carry. Study a rose and you
will find that the petals are evenly ar
ranged and do not cross each other In
an inward, direction, therefore your
bush should follow the shape of the
flower.
Some Should Be Left U(.
Strong growers, like Caroline Tes
tout, Frau Karl Druschkl. Ulrlch Brun
ner and a number of others, following
the second general rule, should be
pruned long, that is. that moid eves
j should 4.0 left on the canes and more
(canes on lh. &ush, than would, pe left
with weak growers. The reason for
his is that the strong growers make
sap more readily, therefore can pro
vide more nourishment for more shoots
and consequently more flowers, while
the weak growers only provide enough
sap for a few shoots and blooms.
Following this n , the first ques
tion asked by a novice is: "How many
buds or eyes should I leave on a cane?"
A good rule to follow is that with
strong growers six buds can usually
be left, for as a rule our strong grow
ing varieties under our favorable cli
matic conaitions have sufficient sa; to
supply good, blooms on all shoots.
With weak growers fewer buds
should be left and many of our best
rosarians never leave more than two
eyes or -us and if they are after ex
hibitlon roses they sometimes only
leave one.
As to what wood should be cut away,
a good general rule is to remove as
much old wood as possible, keeping al
ways In mind the general shape you
desire the bush to tae. on soma
bushes you will tind a cane which came
up last year, which is almost as firm
and almost the color of old wood. Upon
examination you will find this cane is
full of large buds and eyes, therefore
it is valuable and care should be taken
to give it room to develop and grow.
for when pruned this cane will prob
ably throw out a flower-bearing shoot
from each one of its eyes.
You will also find shoots which hava
grown late in the last Summer. They
are thick and green, not brownish like
the ripened canes. These green canes
contain a large proportion of pith and
are practically useless and should be
completely removed.
From this it will be seen that a cans
which by its unusual size will use a lot
of sap should either be preserved and
other weaker shoots removed, or should
be removed entirely, the condition of
the ripeness being the determining fac
tor. If ripe and sound preserve it. if
green and pithy remove it.
Climbers Are Different.
The pruning of climbing or rambling
roses Is different from pruning the hy
brid perpetuals. hybrid teas. etc. for
with climbers and ramblers the prun
ing practically amounts only to a thin
ning out. In these days when the
Wichuraiana ramblers, such as lorothy
Perkins. Excelsa, Alberic Barbier. Avt-
ateur Bleriot. Kvangelina, Hiawatha,
are popular it should be remembered
they make growth one year and bloom
the next.
The blooms come on laterals from the
main shoots, therefore to Insure blooms
these laterals, or at least a number of
them, should be preserved.
George C. Thomas, Jr., the author of
the "Practical Book of Outdoor Rose
Growing," has made a special study of
climbing roses and at his home con
ducts a large test garden, one section
of which is devoted to climbers. He Is
the recognized American authority on
climbers and in speaking of pruning
tnese ne says in his valuable book:
"With Wichuraiana climbers or ram
blers about the last of July or the first
of August, when the blooming season
is over, it is well to 'cut out some of
the oldest canes; this gives new wood a
better opportunity to develop and it
becomes the flowering wood of the fol
lowing season. The older wood on
Wichuraiana blooms to some extent,
but not as well as the growth of the
previous year.
Careful Training Advised.
"After this August pruning It will
hardly be necessary In the following
Spring to do more than cut out the dead
wood and keep the plant within the pre
.tConcluded, oa Pace 2-.
