Time of Planting, Pruning, Etc. 
The sooner Rose plants are set in the spring the better . 
for no plant suffers more for being set out late than the Rose. 
For the best results the ground should be rich, friable and 
retentive of moisture, so that a constant and sturdy growth 
may be made throughout the season, for the more new growth 
the more Roses. In planting care should be used not to 
bruise the roots, but after sufficient soil is on the roots to 
avoid this, the earth should be tamped very firm; the bud 
or joint "B" should be planted 3 inches below the surface 
"A" (see Cut.) 
All Rose plants should be severly pruned when planted 
and, in fact, every year pruning should be very thorough 
before the buds begin to swell, which in this .section, is the 
latter part of March. As a general rule, the more vigorous 
the variety the less it should be pruned. All dead, weak and 
unripe shoots should be cut out clean, the centre of the plant 
thinned to admit air and light. For exhibition purposes the 
■well-ripened shoots may then be cut back to three or four eyes. 
It may he necessary to go over the ]5lants again when the buds 
are formed to remove weak growth and buds that are not 
required. 
As a preventive of insect attacks, dust hellebore (one 
part) and flour (two parts) on the foliage when leaves are fully 
expanded. This done in the morning, dew and flour forms a Hcnv lo Plant and 
paste to hold poison on the leaves. One appHcation at the I'rune Roses. 
right time is usually suflicient to keep the foliage as clean as desired. If proper atten- 
tion is paid to soil, planting and culture, one will be very little troubled with insects, as 
healthy plants are not so liable to attack and are strong enough to fight their own way.
