Excerpt from Observations on the Cultivation of Roses in Pots: Including the Autobiography of a Pot-Rose
The Rose has long been a favourite flower, not only in England, but throughout Europe generally; and there is, perhaps, none other that has ever received such unlimited attention. The ardour manifested of late years in the cultivation of this flower has produced rapid improvements. Many varieties which for some years past have been held in high estimation are now falling aside before the constant introduction of new varieties, which have materially widened the range of this beautiful genus, as well as improved the individual varieties of which it is composed. It is not, however, the design here to treat of Roses generally, but of their cultivation in Pots, and this in as brief a manner as the explication of the subject will allow.
This system of cultivation has created some stir among lovers of Roses, and from the decided superiority of the specimens exhibited at the various Horticultural Exhibitions during the present year over those of the preceding, it would appear that Roses are well adapted, for Pot plants, and arc likely to engage the attention of numerous plant cultivators.
The author would remark that the following observations have been noted down at different times as they have occurred to him, and often somewhat hastily; and in sending forth this pamphlet he does not pretend to instruct his professional brethren, but merely to furnish what he considers a desideratum to those private amateurs who may wish for more particular information.
