Bolgiano’s Selected 
There is perhaps no plant or flower so generally cultivated 
today as the Rose. Its wonderful beauty and fragrance make 
it the most popular of flowers. For extensive grounds, small 
lawns, porch trellis or hedges, Roses are used with charming 
effects. Many persons think it difficult to grow Roses, but 
Planting and 
Roses should be planted in good, rich soil. Dig the hole 
deep enough so that it can be set in the ground about two 
inches below where it was budded. That will prevent suckers 
from growing up from the natural root. Do not trim the 
root off too severely, but cut the tops off about eight inches 
above the top of the ground. Pack good rich soil thoroughly

in contact with the roots. Keep the top of the earth thoroughly

them from the earth.
