Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of Select Roses Offered for Sale by Ellwanger and Barry, Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester, N. Y., 1881<br/><br/>We grow our Roses in two ways, viz: on their own roots from cuttings, and budded low on the Manetti. Most of the tender and climbing sorts are grown from cuttings, the Hybrid Perpetuals, Mosses and Summer Roses are grown in both ways. The Manetti stock was obtained over thirty years ago from Como, Italy, by Thomas Rivers, and has largely superseded the Dog Rose and other stocks. We find many varieties of Roses grown on this stock adapt themselves to a greater range of climate and soil, bloom more profusely, endure better the heat of the Summer, and make far stronger plants than if grown on their own roots. Many object to budded 'roses, on account of 'the suckers they sometimes throw out; but if proper attention is paid to their planting, this will rarely be an annoyance.
