PI AlVTIlVf ^ e 'deal time to plant Roses is in the 
* 1 ll™v*» spring just as soon as the ground can be 
worked and after danger from frost is past. All budded or grafted 
Roses should be planted deeply so that the junction "B" (see cut) 
of stock and scion will be at least three inches below the surface 
of ground "A." If this is done there will be little danger of 
"suckering," which is the only objection offered against budded 
Roses. They are more vigorous, produce finer flowers, bear sooner 
and are just as hardy and are even more permanent than own 
root plants. An open sunny position sheltered from north winds 
is desirable. Roses will grow in any good, well drained garden 
soil. To get the best results in quantity and quality of bloom 
the bed should be prepared in the autumn; dig it to a depth of 
two to three feet, filling in with a mixture of sod from an old 
pasture and well rotted cow manure. For Hybrid Perpetuals 
use a sod from clay loam and for Hybrid Teas a somewhat lighter 
soil is preferable. Hybrid Tea varieties can be set 18 inches apart 
and Hybrid Perpetuals 2 feet apart. Be sure and tread the soil 
firmly about the roots, and give a thorough watering if the soil is 
dry. Keep the soil cultivated during the summer months ; if this 
is done weekly watering is all that will be necessary. 
PRUNING. 
WINTER PROTECTION. 
Start pruning in early spring, beginning 
"with Hybrid Perpetuals. Remove two- 
year-old wood and prune down the previous season's growth at 
least one-half. Cut back weak growth severely. All canes 
should be cut off about a quarter of an inch above an outside bud. 
Hybrid Teas are better not pruned till they first start growth. 
Dead or unhealthy wood is readily detected and can be cut away. 
They do not need as severe pruning as Hybrid Perpetuals. 
Climbing or Rambler Roses require no pruning beyond cutting 
out the very old or dead wood, or to make the growth conform 
to the space to be covered. 
The Hybrid Perpe- 
tual and Hybrid Tea 
roses need winter protection nearly everywhere in Canada. One 
of the best methods is to heap up the soil about the base of the 
plants to a height of twelve to fifteen inches, and then bend the 
tips of the canes over and have them held down with soil. If 
available, some evergreen boughs thrown over the canes will help 
to protect them. On the prairies the whole bush should be pro- 
tected with soil. 
r\icp\Cpc We advise sprayings with Aphine in the spring while the plants are still in a dormant state ; this will protect 
U 1 OEtAOEiO. them from the scale. Use Aphine for green and black fly during growing season. Dry Bordeaux Mixture may 
be used for mildew and all other fungus diseases. HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES
