ROSES FOR THE GARDEN 
PL ANTINn "^^^ id^' *° plant Roses is In 
* iiivj. the spring, just as soon as the ground 
can be worked and after danger from frost is past. AH 
budded or grafted Roses should be planted deeply so that 
the jimction "B" (see cut) of stock and scion will be at least 
three inches below the siul'ace of ground "A." If this is 
done, there n-ill belittle danger of "suckering." which is the 
oniy 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 desir- 
able. 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 Ughter 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 
sod cultivated during the summer months; if this is done 
weekly, watering is all that will be necessary. 
PRIININn — Start pruning in early spring, begin- 
X ning with Hybrid Perpetuals. Re- 
move two-year-old wood and prime 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 mch above an outside bud. Hybrid Teas are 
better not pruned till they first start growth. Dead or un- 
healthy wood is readily detected and can be cut away. They 
do not need as severe pruning as Hybrid Perpetuals. CUmb- 
mg or Rambler Roses require no priming beyond cutting 
out the very old or dead wood, or to make the" growth con- 
form to the space to be covered. 
WINTER PROTECTION.-?^?p''efuT! 
and Hybrid Tea roses need winter protection nearly every- 
where m 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 ever- 
green boughs thrown over the canes will help to protect 
them. On the prairies the whole bush should be protected 
with sod. 
DISEASFS — advise sprayings with Aphine in 
the spring wliile the plants are still 
inla dormant state: this will protect them from the scale. 
Use AphJne for green and black fly during growing season, 
pry Bordeaux mixture may be used for mildew and all other 
fungus diseases. 
The varieties wo offer are two-year 
old. fleld-grown. low budded plants 
and if planted as directed will pro- 
duce the flnest flowers the flrst year.
