CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Roses thrive best in clay loam enriched with well-rotted manure. They should also have an open, airy situ¬ 
ation unshaded by trees or buildings wherever possible. A southeastern exposure is an ideal one. To get the 
best results from RoseB. dig up the soil thoroughly to a depth of 12 to 15 inches. Soak the bedB 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 
plants suffer more by being planted late than does 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 bo 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. As soon 
as severe freezing weather sets in the plants should have some protection.
