How to Plant Roses

Roses prefer clay soil, especially bush I 
roses. Climbing roses will do fairly well 
in sand or gravel if it is well prepared. 
Roses should be set so that the soil comes 
up one or two inches above the bud. This 
gives added protection and also discour¬ 
ages sprouting of the wild stock on which 
most bush roses are budded or grafted, j 
Roses planted in the spring should be T 
trimmed severely when planted to within | 
4 or 6 inches of the ground as rose plants ? 
will not support the full amount of top. j 
Failure to trim is the most frequent cause* 
of loss in spring planting of roses. i 
Since bush roses are usually budded or i 
grafted it is necessary to watch closely? 
for sprouts from the understock and cutj

out promptly if they appear. In remov¬ 
ing the wild shoots dig down and cut off 
the shoot close to the stock. Failure to 
do this will often smother out the budded 
portion, causing the loss of the plant. 
If roses are planted in the fall it is best 
not to trim them when planting but 
mound up the soil about the plant to the 
height of ten or twelve inches, and with 
the approach of freezing weather cover 
the entire bed with a light mulch of 
straw, leaves or cut grass for additional 
protection. Early in the spring before 
growth starts remove the mulch and level 
down the hills; cut out all weak shoots 
and cut back the main shoots to within 
four or six inches of the ground or to 
sound wood. 
Climbing roses need little if any pro¬ 
tection, but in a latitude where injury 
occurs the canes should be laid down and 
novared with earth each fall and tied up 
to tbe trellis again early in the spring.
