CULTURE—Roses grow best in an open and sunny posi¬ 
tion. Dig the soil thoroughly, working in well rotted ma¬ 
nure or bone meal in a good quantity. Be careful in keep¬ 
ing the roots from exposure to the air. When the bushes 
arrive, sprinkle them and heel in until the hole is dug to 
receive them. Place the bush in position, spreading the 
roots and fill in with fine soil, making it firm with the 
heel. Cultivate freely during the Summer. An application 
of bone meal at monthly intervals is advisable. During 
the hot weather cover the bed with a layer of Peat Moss 
two inches thick. This will prevent the ground from dry¬ 
ing out and becoming baked. In late November draw the 
soil around the plant to a height of 1 foot. This will serve 
as a Winter protection.
