Every year more and more gardeners are turning to fall planting of Roses, as if properly 

 protected by a mound of soil covering at least three eyes on every branch the plants will go 

 through even severe winter weather. This method of protection is fully explained in our cultural 

 leaflet on Roses sent free upon request. We are now booking orders for strong 2-year-old field- 

 grown dormant plants of the varieties listed on these pages. Delivery will be made as soon 

 as the plants are properly ripened, usually in late October and early November.
