out of doors, and attend to them with the same care as regards watering as when they were indoors. In a fortnight or three weeks after their removal from the greenhouse, shift into pots one size larger, and use a compost consisting of three parts turfy loam and one part hotbed manure. A few crushed bones mixed with the compost will be of great service in promoting a vigorous growth; and wherever roses are grown in pots, the bones, as they come from the kitchen, should be carefully preserved, and when the roses have their annual shift be broken up and mixed with the compost. A few larger pieces mixed with the crocks will be of service. After they are repotted, stand them upon stones or coal-ashes, and fill in between the pots with dry leaves or other loose material, for the purpose of preventing a too rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil during the hot weather. They must be placed far enough apart to afford ample space for the development of the new growth. During the summer an abundance of moisture will be required, and in the evening, after a hot day they will be benefited by being watered overhead with a watering-can to which a coarse rose has been affixed.
