Only a few of the strongest branches should be preserved, and the new wood of these cut down to two eyes each. The preceding remarks are applicable to roses at the time of planting ; they should also be pruned every year, — ^the hardy varieties in the autumn or winter, and the more tender in the spring. For all roses that are not lia- ble to have part of their wood killed by the cold, the autumn is decidedly the best time for pruning ; the root, having then but little top to support, is left at... liberty to store up nutriment for a strong growth the following season. The principal objects in pruning are the removal Digitized by VjOOQ IC 94 PABSONS ON THE BOSS. of the old wood, because it is generally only the young .wood that produces large and fine flowers ; the shortening and thinning out of the young wood, that the root, having much less wood to support, may devote all its nutriment to the size and beauty of the flower ; and the formation of a synmietrical shape. If an abundant bloom is de- sired, without regard to the size of the flower, only the weak shoots should be cut out, and the strong wood should be shortened very little ; each bud will then pro- duce a flower.
