The new Indian gardener, and guide with a vocabulary (1848)
G. T. F. S. Barlow Speede

October
Shrubbery.— Open out the roots of a few Bussorah roses for early flowering, pruning down all the branches to a height of six inches, removing all decayed, and superannuated wood, dividing the roots, and pruning them freely. The Madras roses should be treated in the same manner, not all at the same time, but at intervals of a week between each cutting down, so as to secure a succession for blossoming. Plant out rooted cuttings in beds, to increase in size.

November
Shrubbery.— Continue opening the roots of Bussorah roses, as well as the Rose Edward, and Madras roses, for succession to those on which this operation was performed last month. Prune and trim the Sweetbriar, and Many-flowered rose.

December
Shrubbery.— Continue opening the roots, and cutting down the branches of Bussorah, and other roses for late flowering. Prune, and thin out also the China, and Persian roses, as well as the Many-flowered rose, if not done last month.
