HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Field Grown 
BOSES may be grown in any open, sunny posi¬ 
tion, if possible, sheltered from north winds and 
clear of all roots and shrubs. The best soil for 
roses is sod from an old pasture and well rotted 
cow manure. Dig the bed deep, as Roses will not 
do well unless the ground is well drained. Spring 
Is the best time for planting. Throughout the sum¬ 
mer the surface of the soil should be cultivated 
weekly. The Tea and Hybrid Tea varieties can be 
set 18 inches apart and the Hybrid Perpetual va¬ 
rieties 2 feet apart.
