The following varieties are the freest and most continuous flowering of all Roses. They are valued because of their dwarf, bushy habit of growth and delightful fragrance. They are comparatively tender, but can be safely wintered if covered carefully with earth around the crowns after cold weather sets in, and if the wood is well ripened. After covering with earth, apply leaves or litter to the depth of 6 to 8 inches. When the ground thaws in the spring, remove all covering and cut back the branches to within 3 or 4 inches of the ground. In planting set the plants deeply in the ground and have the soil well drained, rich and deeply spaded. Use decomposed animal manure for all roses.
