Go Easy on 



Cutting Bloom 



the First 



Season 



We know how anx- 

 iously you await those 

 first blooms from a 

 newly planted rose 

 bush and how badly 

 you want to cut a few. 

 But for the first part of the season, 

 go easy. This is the time when your 

 plant is establishing root growth and 

 new canes. To do this it needs foliage 

 to manufacture food, and if you cut 

 too much you will be losing too much 

 foliage. 



In fact, we recommend the pinching 

 of the first buds so that all of that 

 initial energy can go into producing 

 a stronger, better plant.

 This is a beautiful buttercup-yellow 

 with fine buds opening to well formed 

 blooms of good substance. Blooms are 

 fairly large, double with 25 to 30 pet- 

 als. There is a slight fragrance. The 

 plant is very vigorous, grows to me- 

 dium height, very bushy and well 

 branched. Foliage is good, leathery 

 with an interesting bronze tinge. This

 there will be many of them to cut all 

 season long.
