Of course you should have some Roses. A double row along your house will soon

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 plant were not pruned, and the bushes will bloom all the 

 better.
