stocks are grown either from seeds or cuttings. A common stock is
the manetti, which is a strong and hardy type, and the resulting
budded plant may 1~ used for regular garden work or for forcing
under glass. The eyes should be cut out of the manetti stock below
the bud, to avoid sprouting. Because the manetti suckers badly,
various wild briars art’ much used in Europe. The bud is often inserted
:! to 4 feet high, making “ standard ” roses (Fig. 127). These
are practically unknown in this country, except as sparingly imported.
The multiflora rose is also a good st,ock, especially for early
results. Tl lese rlwwt t i und multiflora stocks (and some others) are
imported from Europe as yearling cut.t.ings, For outdoor propagat.-
ing, they art’ ” drc5sed ” much like apple stocks (Fig. 132), and are
budded the year in which they art‘ planted in the nursery row. The
g;lrd(lntbr rlln~- grow his own stocks of these (particularly of multitlora)
from hard\vooti cuttings made in spring, and these cuttings
should 1~ fit for working in the following fall and winter. Homegrown
seedlings shoultl be two years old (unless very strong) before
they tire burl&d. H;\;l~irl perpetual roses make excellent pot plants
in w, short time when winter grafted, with dormant. wood, upon
multiflora stocks. -4 stock somewhat used for some of the hybrid
perpetual.-;, with esccllent results, is K~SU HTaf.somBmzat a Japanese
species. Tl lis is a slender stock, and is graft,ed, not budded.
“ ?Yorked ” roses are in greater favor in Europe than in this country,
and our various native roses ha\‘e, therefore, received little attention
as sto&s. The cmlmo~~ sweet. briar of t!le roadi;ides (wlrich is an
introduced species j is sometimes used for stocks. H. Wichuraiana is
easily propagated by :ong cuttings of year-old wood the open air.
Rosmarinus ( Rosemary). Lclbi~~tc.
Increased by seeds and division.
Roystonea : Oreodma.
Rubiaceae. Rubiads.
Propagation of most of the genera is by cuttings of the partially
ripened J-oung wood in good bottom heat ; also by seed and a few b)
root-cuttings. The herbaceous kinds are increased by division and
seeds. As well as ornamental garden subjects, many of the rubiads
are most important economic plants.
Rubus (Bramble). ROS~UW.
Increased by seeds: which should be stratified or sown as soon as
ripe. Divisions of the clump, natural stolons, root-cuttings and
