A London paper under the heading of "good news for English Rose growers," remarks:

"There is a statement in an American exchange to the effect that English Roses can be sent to America, and that in spite of freight, customs' duties, and incidental expenses, the Roses cost the recipient less than is demanded for plants of the same description in the States, while no American dealer offered so choice and extensive a list from which to make a selection as the English one".

We doubt this. Nearly all the "cheap" roses we have seen from England are grafted on Dog Roses or Manetti and very far from being of the " same description," if quality is intended, as the American plants on their own roots.
