34 MICHELL’S DORMANT FIELD-GROWN ROSES 
FOR FALL PLANTING 
Many of the most successful Rose growers prefer planting their Roses in the Autumn. We are now booking orders for strong 
two-year-old Field-grown budded plants, which will be ready for shipment just as soon as they are properly ripened by frost, which is 
usually late in October or early in November. Plants shipped in the dormant state take up but very little room and they may be safely 
shipped by parcel post. If there is danger of the ground freezing before the arrival of the plants, the space where you wish to plant 
them may be protected by a covering of leaves or other loose litter. When the plants arrive, plant them so that the bud is covered 
with at least one inch of soil; then make a mound of earth around the base of the plant about twelve inches high, by doing this all of the 
buds on the lower ends of the branches are covered with soil, this covering protects them from the alternate freezing and thawing which 
is so injurious. Early in the Spring, before growth starts—but after danger of severe frost is over, this covering of earth should be 
removed and the plants pruned.

buds opening into semi-double fragrant flowers of a coppery

ing combination of colors, the inside of petals being salmon-

pink, shading to golden yellow at the base of the petals. The

enduring. The plant is free and fine in growth and habit.

flowered blooms of pearly blush, shaded salmon-pink, the outside

bedder, producing large flowers throughout the Summer when 
many other varieties are out of bloom; in color a beautiful even 
shade of pink. This Rose should be in every garden.

“sport,” possessing all of the good points of that valuable vari¬ 
ety, but differing in color, which is bright cerise-red.
