R. BUCKLEY One of the most fascinating and satisfying of all - garden practices is the propagation of roses by budding. Although the time taken by amateurs would bring the finished cost of a rose to an exorbitant amount, the rewarding experience of seeing a young plant develop from an - eye, and the experiment of testing various stock species best suited to your garden, makes the effort well worthwhile and adds considerably to your enjoyment of rose growing. To bud a rose you must, of course, have a plant to bud it on. This in itself constitutes a major problem. If you were living in the country in England, you could dig one out of the hedgerow, but here in Canada it is not so easy, for the wild roses of this country seldom make good compatible stock, , To begin now, Stock plants should have been planted last spring; alternatively, you should order some dog rose stock (Rosa canina) or multiflora rose stock (Rosa multiflora) from a nursery for planting next spring. The dog rose will be difficult to get and is slow growing, but produces hardier roses; the multiflora rose is easy to buy, grows twice as fast as the dog rose, but does not produce plants quite' so hardy. It is the stock most commonly used in commerce in this country, as it produces saleable plants in much less time. , The best time to bud roses is during July and August when the sap is flowing well in the understocks and the buds are plump and not too far advanced. To select a bud for use in budding, you first choose a branch of your rose bush which has just finished flowering and then cut out a bud about half-way down where it is most likely to be plump and has not yet started into growth. First prepare the stock plant by clearing away the soil from the stem to a depth of two inches below the surface or as near to the roots as possible and remove any low lateral branches that might obstruct the budding operation. Use a very shaip, thin-bladbd knife and start cutting your shield one-half inch from the top of the bud. Penetrate into the wood as thinly as possible to one-half inch below the bud, making a slightly deeper penetration under the bud itself. Remove the shield with as little wood left on as possible. Practise on several buds before cutting the one of your choice. To remove the slither of wood from behind the bud, hold the Making a T-shaped incision at the base of the stock plant in which to insert the bud.

This can be done with the thumbnail by bending the shield slightly. The object is to remove the small piece of sapwood without destroying the bud underneath and without scratching the inner part of the shield itself. If you see a slight depression under the bud after the wood has been removed you must try again. When a good bud has been secured keep it moist within easy reach, this could be in your mouth; place the leaf-stem between your teeth. Next prepare the stock for the insertion of the bud. In the stem of the stock plant where you cleaned it just below ground level, make a T-shaped cut. First make the horizontal part of the T as wide as the shield and then longitudinal ,cut, about,,, three-quarters of an Inch long. Now with the back of your knife or the spatula of a budding knife, gently raise the bark. If it is in good condition you should hear a slight click. Now use the leaf stem of your shield as a handle and slip the shield into the incision. If it is longer than the incision, cut off the part that extends above the horizontal cut. The shield must fit snugly into the incision. Most amateur budders use damp raffia to tie the buds instead of the rubber strips used by professionals. Begin wrapping the raffia by overlapping the first turn to secure the end of the shield. Now wrap the raffia around over and under the bud but do not cover the bud itself. When you have finished, the place where the original incision was made should be completely covered with only the bud itself protruding from it. Shade the bud for a few days and then leave it exposed until the end of September or early October, Then mound it with soil to six inches high for winter protection. About March, cut back the stock to a point three or four inches above the bud. In mid-April after all damage of severe winter frosts has passed, uncover the bud carefully and leave it exposed once more. Once the bud is growing well, cut off the remainder of the stock. It might be a good idea to stake the new shoot to protect it .front being damaged. The following fall, mound once more and the next Spring the plant will be ready for the rose garden where it will flower and flourish, Standard rose bushes are obtained by budding the plant high upon a single-stemmed stock plant. The procedure is similar, but winter protection is more difficult since the plant must be bent right over like an ostrich burying his head in the sand, or taken out of the ground and buried entirely. the great Prize of Nations event in the world, equestrian. championships at 14a4aolo in France, President ,of a refrigeration distribution firm, lyir.
