A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE GROWING AND CARE OF ROSES 
Rose bushes do best in a heavy clay soil. For that reason one should never 
fertilize with manure, or any similar plant food that will tend to lighten the soil. 
Frequent applications of VIGORO or Steamed Bone Meal will secure best results. 
SHOULD ROSES BE WRAPPED FOR WINTER PROTECTION? This question 
will be answered “YES” by some, and “NO” by others. Our own opinion, after 
many years experience, is that wrapping kills more rose bushes than it saves. 
Our method is to hill up around the roots with a few inches of leaves and soil, re¬ 
moving same by degrees during the early spring.
