HARDY ROSES 



INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PLANTING OF ROSES 



The roots of Roses are very sensitive to exposure to the air and great care should 

 Ije taken to prevent their becoming dried. If you are not prepared to plant promptly 

 upon receipt of plants, keep the roots covered with damp moss in a cool, dark place and 

 protect from drying winds. Before planting, take a sharp knife or pruning shears and 

 remove all damaged roots and cut back the stems to three or four eyes. When planting, 

 the roots should be carefully spread out and the plants put in the ground low enough to 

 cover the stem and a small portion of the many stems that have been cut down, then 

 firmly pack the soil.
