In the Jan. number of Gardeners' Monthly, page 15, "I. H.," Ardmore, Pa., asks how to treat the rose, Reine Marie Henriette, to get it to bloom. This rose requires a rest. If planted in a cold grapery, or a greenhouse cold enough to keep it dormant until February or March, it will then break and bloom abundantly. Should be pruned in the fall. A grand rose for the South, where it can be wintered out of doors. There is nothing of the Glorie de Dijon about it, as advertised when first sent out. For forcing purposes in winter, I believe it to be worthless. New Haven, Conn.
