You Can Succeed With Roses If You 
Follow Our Instructions 
Planting. Before planting, cut out all weak growth, 
leaving the stoutest and most vigorous shoots. These 
must be cut back to within 3 to 6 inches of the 
ground, depending on the vigor of the plant. Dig 
a big hole and set the plant about an inch deeper 
than it stood in the nursery row, provided it is on 
its own roots. Budded Roses should have the budded 
portion set 2 to 3 inches below the level. Fill the 
hole half full of soil, pour in water, let this settle, 
put in some more earth, firm this well about the 
roots, then fill in the hole and firm when the job is 
completed. Water the plants whenever needed, and 
keep the soil well cultivated. 
Never use a spade in a Rose-bed, but use a dig¬ 
ging-fork; this is less likely to cause injury to the 
roots. After the beds have been cultivated, rake 
the surface smooth and even. Frequent stirring of 
the surface is beneficial. A top-dressing of hard¬ 
wood ashes is excellent. 
Spraying. Aphis, thrips, black-spot, and powdery 
mildew are the chief Rose enemies. Aphis, or green 
plant-lice, attack the new growth of either the shoot 
or bud. Thrips work on the new growth, but usual¬ 
ly in the flower, causing them to fail to open, turn 
brown and wither. Aphis may be removed by a 
strong stream from the hose. Both pests can be 
controlled by spraying with Garden Volck, using 
1 part to 32 parts of water. 
To kill thrip, cut off all open and partly open 
flowers early in the morning before spraying, and 
put the flowers in a bucket of water with a half¬ 
inch of kerosene floating on the surface. 
Black-spot causes the leaves to turn yellow and 
drop off, and will be found in the dark areas of 
the leaves. Powdery mildew appears on young 
leaves and shoots. Spray with Bordeaux Mixture, 
or one of the prepared Bordeaux Compounds, at 
intervals of a week or ten days until the disease 
is checked.
