CARE OF OLD ROSE PLANTS. 



1 w i-h to ask t'or ill t'orniai Imii in I'c 

 ;:.'ird to rariiiL; lor idd plants. I have a 

 lew heni-hes of li'iclininihl. Killarney, 

 Mtiid. I'.ride and (lohleii (late, whidi I 

 had ]ilaniii'd to d|-,,\\ another vear. I 

 I'e^iid these diirin^ Mav. re!iid\c.| ahiiul 



one inch of soil from the hemdies and 

 lejilaced with fi'csli soil, then cut the 

 [ilants hack and started them n|i ahoiit 

 the iniddli' of June. The hnds have lieeii 

 pimdu'd twice, and in some instances 

 three times, iiml I think that I will let 

 the next hud tlovvcr. .\hout twn weeks 

 ayii J yave all the plants a duocl niuhdiin^ 

 of well rotted cow manure. 



Will it he advisahle to a]i]ily the com 

 mercial fertilizer, dry lilooij, at this time 

 to make lietter tlovveis.' Please .state the 

 jiroperties contained in dry hlood and 

 when it should he used on Ihi' yoiin;^ 

 plants, ;is well as on the idd ones. Also 

 in I't'i^ard to this huddine of youni; roses. 

 is it hest to let the hud mature hefore 

 cuttin>j it out, or are there any evil et' 

 fects from pimdiiny it when it first ap 



So far these roses ha\-e heeii ti'cated 

 all riyht, although it luijiht have lieen 

 hetter to rem(.i\e a little more id' the to]i 

 soil. 



In I'cjiard to dishuddin<r, that has to lu' 

 rej^ulated in a yicat nietisure hy the time 

 the first cut is recjuired. From the time 

 of the dishuddin^. it recjuires at this seii 

 son at least six weeks to de\-elop a crop. 



There will he no need to ajiply any of 

 the coniniercial fertilizers until the jires- 

 eiit f(>e(linfi (mnlch) has lieeii jiartly ex 

 hausted. Jt would he hetter, while the 

 lirsf crop is maturinji'. to ajiply a little 

 feediiifi' in a liijuiil form. 



Dried hlood is a rich manure and 

 should he a]ip!ied S[iarinely, esjii'cially to 

 plants under ylass duriuji hot weather.

I >o not suddenly withhold all water, as 

 is too often done, or yon will ruin tlu 

 plants, (irtidually reduce the siipjily ot 

 moisture at the roots. Keep the ]ilaiit- 

 where they ctiii j^ct plenty of sunshine, 

 and after the folitiji'o has all ripened, stoi.
