GARDEX HIGHLIGHTS 



Roses . . . Everyman's Flower 



Time was when a rose garden was a status symbol for a 

 wealthy man with a big greenhouse and a gardener or two. 

 Now all that's changed. Roses have happily been brought 

 within reach of everyone who has even a small patch of 

 reasonably good garden soil and the will to give them the 

 simple care they ask for. 

 If you have the space for a garden of roses, fine. You can have years of 

 enjoyment from it. But if your space is too small for that, look for special spots 

 in the sun where a rose bush or two can grow companionably with other shrubs 

 or perennials or even near an evergreen hedge. Just be sure your roses will 

 have at least a half day of sunshine and that their roots will not have to com- 

 pete with tree or shrub roots for food and moisture.
