CLIMBING AND RAMBLER ROSES 



There are so many uses for Climbing and Rambler roses 

 that they should be given serious consideration in your plant- 

 ing. Aside from the fact that they produce a wealth of bloom 

 during May and June their foliage and growth make them 

 much more attractive than many other vines that are used in 

 plantings. Order a few this year to train on posts, fences or 

 against walls. The beauty of their bloom and foliage will re- 

 pay you many times.

HOW TO PLANT ROSES 



Roses thrive best in a medium light, clay 

 soil. Before planting prepare the soil by 

 spading and thoroughly working over to a 

 depth of about 18 inches, fill in well-rotted 

 stable manure while spading and work it 

 carefully into the soil. After the plants are 

 set, for best results cut all branches back to 

 within 3 or 4 inches of the top of the ground. 

 The new growth coming out will make a 

 much nicer head than if the plants were not 

 pruned, and the bushes will bloom all the 

 better.
