CULTURE OF ROSES 
While roses delight in a sunny exposure, a location giving 
some shade during the heat of the day will be ideal. Any 
ordinary soil, fertilized with well-rotted stable manure or 
bone meal, is adapted to Rose growing, providing there is 
good drainage, as Roses object to wet feet. The soil should 
be made friable to a depth of eighteen inches. 
Set the Hybrid Teas 12-15 inches and Hybrid Perpetuals 
2 feet apart, planting so the graft will be beneath the 
surface. The soil immediately about the roots should be 
compact. A top dressing of bone meal or well-rotted 
manure twice a month during the growing season will im¬ 
prove both flowers and fragrance. 
Some pruning of the Hybrid Teas during the Summer is 
useful to encourage growth and flowers. The stronger 
branches that have flowered may be cut back one half or 
more. With the Hybrid Perpetuals all vigorous branches 
should be cut back one half after the June bloom to produce 
new shoots for Fall flowering. 
Insects can be combated by very forceful sprays of clear 
water, in the morning; mildew, by spraying with Fung- 
trogen (see page 50) or with sulphur dusted or sprayed; 
black leaf-spot, by spraying with Fungtrogen or bordeaux 
mixture at intervals of ten days. 
Do not water roses in the evening. 
Potted Roses, Like B. & B. Evergreens, Have Soil-Encased Roots, Making for Greater Value.
