Excerpt from Beautiful Flowers and How to Grow Them There should be nothing stiff, stilted, and formal about Roses, whether in the growing of them, the utilisation of them, or the writing about them. We should look upon them as cheerful, delightful, affectionate companions. To put the trees in stiff rows, grow them on a level, and prune them back to mere stumps, like a blackthorn hedge, is to rob them of all chance of showing Whether they possess natural beauty. And to write of Roses as though they were mere automata, devoid of all sentiment, of all power of appeal to our finest feelings, is to put them on the same plane as mangold wurzels.
