If soil is dry, water thor¬ 
oughly before putting in last 
soil. Set Hybrid Teas 13^ to 
2 feet apart, and Climbers 6 
to 10 feet. 
Cultivate once each week; 
a dust-mulch prevents evap¬ 
oration and keeps ground 
moist. A mulch of peat-moss 
is desirable in the hot summer 
months. Drench during dry 
spells, avoid light sprinklings. 
If Roses are low-pruned to 
three eyes in spring, bushy 
plants and large flowers are 
the result; if they are high- 
pruned, leggy plants and 
lesser flowers result. Do not 
cut off too close to the eye. 
After the Climbers bloom, 
cut out old wood and tie up 
new growth.
