Roses 
Are 
For You 
“Can I really grow 
roses like these?” 
you 
may ask. Our answer is ‘“‘Yes,” 
if you can give them the few basics 
they require: a location where they 
will receive five to six hours of full sun 
per day, a garden soil of average fer- 
tility, pruning and fertilizing in the 
spring, and spraying and watering in 
the summer. About two minutes per 
plant per week will do it. 
Your reward will be dozens of mar- 
velous blooms that will thrill you all 
the more because some of your own 
effort went into producing them. Get 
into the swing of rose growing and 
before you know it you'll be a con- 
firmed ‘‘rose bug.”’
