ROSES- HOW TO GROW THEM, continued 
Fourth, the numerous insect enemies of the Rose must 
be kept in check by some of the various insecticides 
made for this purpose. A good sprayer is a most essential 
implement for successful Rose-growing. 
Nicotine or tobacco juice is very effective against 
green Hies and similar insects and Aphine is no doubt 
the easiest and most agreeable to handle and it certainly 
does the work. Aphine can be bought in every better- 
class seed-store and the directions for use are right 
on the can. 
Fifth, contrary to the general opinion, Roses like 
plenty of water — not merely a slight sprinkling, but a 
good, heavy soaking at least twice a week, preferably 
in the evening, and oftener in the case of protracted 
drought. 
A clean and properly spread mulch of well-decayed 
manure is by no means objectionable to the eye and of 
great value to the rose-bushes. It preserves moisture 
and protects the ground from the hot and piercing 
sun-rays in midsummer. 
Sixth, all Roses are benefited by winter protection, 
applied after the first good freeze, the object not being 
to keep them warm, but to prevent the alternate thawing 
and freezing so injurious to all sorts of vegetation. This 
is especially important with the Tea and Hybrid Tea 
varieties and the Tree Roses. 
It is of vital importance that Rose-beds should be in 
the open, and not under big trees, although trees, bushes 
and fences may be in close proximity to Roses to good 
advantage, acting as a shelter or windbreak. 
Plant all dormant Roses early; that is in spring, as 
soon as the ground is dry enough to crumble, and in 
fall after the leaves have dropped. 
Full attention being given to these points, the veriest 
tyro can make an unqualified success of growing Roses 
and can have bushels of flowers for home adornment and 
to give away all summer. 
The kind of Roses one wishes to grow is largely a 
matter of personal preference. The Hybrid Perpetuals 
are those blooming with a great burst in June and some 
of them continue all summer. They are perfectly hardy. 
I'he Hybrid Teas are also hardy and they bloom pro- 
fusely all summer, with an extra lot of flowers in October. 
The 'leas are as a rule tender, but bloom continuously 
and the flowers are delightfully scented. Then there are 
the old-fashioned Bourbon Roses, the extra-hardy Rugo- 
sas, the wild or Prairie Roses and a multitude of climbers 
and Trailers each with a distinctive charm and fitness.
