During March of 1905 I planted a batch of ripe-wood rose cuttings, for the purpose of seeing which style of cutting rooted quickest. On lifting the pieces some four months later, I found the best root growths on the cuttings which carried a piece of old wood at their base. In every instance this was so marked that I decided to photograph one of the young plants, so as to show the manner in which it had thrown out its roots. Here it is.
It was a piece of wood taken from E. Veyrat Hermanos, one of the most vigorous climbers, a rose that deserves to be widely grown, both for its lovely flowers and for its great vigour in growth. The roots are quite as long as the original piece of wood which began just where the third set of leaves show out. There is no climber that I know of that will cover a given space in as quick a time as E. Veyrat Hermanos.

Not long since I saw a lovely rose hedge somewhere on the Parramatta road, about Burwood.  It was formed of one of the old red monthly roses, Lady Brisbane, I think.  On the same day I unexpectedly came across another hedge of the same variety hanging over the winding path which leads up to the ‘Greystanes,’ on the hills, near Prospect.  This hedge must be a picture in Spring, for those willing old roses just cover themselves with red blooms when their gala days are on.

The plant pictured, though hardly seen at its best, is in itself a proof that full standards are not as slow or as poor as they are supposed to be. It is a Reichsgraff E. V. Kesselstadt, and was photographed on July 7th, showing flowers even in the middle of winter. Your two arms would hardly encompass it about.
