Simple Rules for Success with Roses 
Roses thrive best in clay loam enriched with well-rotted manure. They 
should also have an open, airy situation, unshaded by trees or buildings 
wherever possible. A southeastern exposure is an ideal one. To get the 
best results from Roses, dig up the soil thoroughly to a depth of 12 to 
15 inches. Soak the beds occasionally with weak manure water. Always 
plant in solid beds and each class by itself. Hardy Roses may be planted 
in the fall or spring. Dormant plants set in the spring should be planted 
early, before growth is started. No plant suffers more by being planted 
late than the Rose. 
As Roses are raised mostly for their flowers, it is necessary to give 
that culture to the plant best adapted to produce this result. A very 
rich soil is of the first importance and it must be made so by thoroughly 
working into it plenty of old composted stable manure in which leaf 
mold has been decomposed. 
All Roses should be cut back closely at the time of planting. For 
Hybrid Perpetuals, remove at least one-half of the previous season’s 
growth annually in the spring. In the Everblooming class, two-thirds of 
the previous season’s growth. Strong growing varieties require less prun¬ 
ing back than weak ones. Climbing Roses may be first allowed to partly 
cover the space desired before trimming back. Old decayed branches 
should never remain. Every autumn, compost should be placed around 
stems of plants, and spaded into the ground in the following spring. 
As soon as severe freezing weather sets in the plants should have 
some protection. 
Radiance, Pink.
