The more severely a roae bush Is
pruned the stronger will be the new
shoots. The weaker or less vigorous a
bush is the more severely it should be

some exceptions to this rule which

is
T-fae first thing In pruning, rose, bushe:
cutting away all the decayed am
thinning the crowded and useless shoots.
The decayed wood Is to be cut away
to keep tne decay from spreading; the
crowoeu snoots are tnose too close to
gether, which will interfere with the
growing and the blooming. Only one
shoot should be left where two or
three or more are very close together.
tt is or tne utmost importance to re
move the shoots In the center of th
bush, bo as to lot in the light to the
center or tne D'jsii. t ne useless shoots
are mostly the unrlpened shoots and the
lateral branches, which Interfere witn
ach other. In cutting away shoots
they should be cut several Inches below
the surface of the ground, so they will
not send up now shoots.
There are one or two objects In prun
ing a rose bush. One Is to produce
specimens or exhibition roses; that Is,
comparatively few flowers; the other Is
to obtain good roses and quite a num
ber of them. The latter are railed, for
convenience, for gardun decoration, In
this article. Which is preferable, the
owner must decide. He cannot have
magnificent specimens and plenty of
thorn on one bush.
A most excellent honk on roses, en

Study of Fruning.
In this article I hava not attempted
to treat pruning except on general lines.
What may be called scientific pruning re
quires a great deal of study and experi
ment. By study I do not mean studying
books alone; I mean also the study of
the different roses and their peculiarities
and th best method of pruning each.
I have endeavored to give briefly what
I know of pruning from reading and
from my own experience to assist others
In growing roses, not onlv for their own
pleasure, but to make Portland "The
Rose City."
Undoubtedly tha best, most complete
and comprehensive book on roses ever
published Is "The Rose Garden," by
William Paul, one of England's best pro
fessional rosarlans. I have the tenth
edition or this book, published In 1903.
It is a large quarto of nearly 400 pages
Twenty-four pages of this book are de
voted especially to th. auhtaet nf Tirnn.
ing. MK Paul in his book says: "I be
lieve pruning to be the most Important
operation In rose culture, and. at the
same time, the most difficult to obtain
the mastery over and apply with suc

a sharp pruning knife, but It must be

Ground Kept Moist.
On reason why cuttings grow so
easily at Portland, in the open, is that
the rainfall keeps the ground moist, and
the mild, even temperature, which does
not hurt the cutting and allows it to
strike. A number of roses in Portland
grow from cuttings which in other parts
of the world, in the open pr in hot
houses, will not strike. In hothouses
roses from cuttings are grown by means
of what Is called "bottom-heat," 1. e.,
heat applied to the sand in which the
small pots are placed in which the cut
tings are put. gome roses, of which
JHaroness Kotnschlla is one, are ex
tremely diiflcult to propagate with bot
tom-heat, whereas, the Baroness Roths
child may be propagated here, with
comparatively little difficulty, in the
open.
A friend of mine, on of Portland's
enthusiastic amateur rosarlans, about
two years ago put in about S0O cuttings
in the spring, and all grew except three.
After the buahes are pruned, it is
well to spray them with Bordeaux mix
ture, or some other proper spray. By
proper spraying you keep off a great
deal of mildew and the yellow leaf.
Rosebushes are liable to Decome af

have a few roses, a email sprayer can
be obtained from the seed or plant
stores, and you can also obtain there
the proper spray. If you have many
Duahes, it may be well to have a pro
fessional florist spray your buahes. By
several people clubbing together and
hiring a gardener, he in one day can
spray a number. of yards, and the cost
will be small for each person. About
the only caution In spraying at this
time 01 tne year is that trie spray
should not be too weak, but not ao

Zit Climber take Growth.
Cllmblne roses should not be pruned.
If a climber grows too rank, stalks may
be cut out or shortened. If pruned aa
other roses are, as a rule, they will run
to wood and have but few flowers. In
addition, a climbing roso is most beauti
ful wnen it trows as it desires. The
shoots and branches may be tied up, but,
so far as possible, they should be al
lowed to spread, and some of th
branches be left to hang gracefully.
This they will do If they are allowed
to do so. I have four Mme. Alfred

In. order to beautify Portland, great
quantities of climbing roses should be
planted against fences and near the
houses. If planted near the 'house, a

plumber. When this latter framework
is piacea in position, -wire netting may

at the bottom. The roses will climb
against tnis netting, or against the trel
Ms, -and In the spring' the shoots and
Drancnes can ne easily tied to the net-tins-
or to thn trellis.

In planting a climbing rose it ia well
to dig a large and somewhat deep hole,
say IdUf feet square and three' feet

soil, or ton soil 'from a meadow, and
well-rotted manure, and it will require
bo further treatment for many years.
The southeastern part of France, near
Nice, and the northwestern nart of
Italy, near Genoa, are commonly spoken
of as the Riviera. It has almost -the
same latitude as Portland, the differ

are grown. These are one of the charms
of the Riviera, and th blooming of
tnese ciimmng roses attracts large
numbers of tourists every vear. All
varieties of climbing roses grown in
the Riviera can be grown in Portland
with practically no protection, and will
bloom as well as in the Riviera.. It
would make Portland famous as a roae

families and other Scotchmen, who mav
be in distress; relieve tne sick; give de
