ROSES 



Roses prefer a rather heavy soil and sunny exposure. Any 

 ordinary soil well worked-up with well-rotted stable manure 

 and bone meal will grow Roses, providing there is good drain- 

 age. p Roses do not like wet feet. The beds should be dug to a 

 depth of at least twelve inches and deeper if possible. 



Set plants two feet apart (narrow beds are best) and two 

 inches deeper than the graft. Fill hole half full then fill 

 with water to settle dirt around roots and prevent air pockets. 

 Allow water to drain, then fill with dirt and cover with light 

 mulch of Peat Moss, or well-rotted manure. Top dress with 

 bone meal Spring and Autumn.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PERENNIAL BEDS 



Prepare beds by incorporating a liberal dressing of well- 

 rotted manure, and a dressing of raw ground bone, thoroughly 

 mixed with good soil. If the beds are laid out irregularly 

 and not too wide, the effect is better than in a straight line. 

 Potted plants are less apt to suffer from transplanting and 

 should be set out about April. When planting, firm the soil 

 about plant and soak liberally with water, after planting. You 

 can also set out in September and up to early November. A 

 light dressing of sheep manure during summer is helpful. 



For THE ROCK GARDEN, select your varieties to conform 

 with size of the garden, and prepare soil as for Perennials.
