PLANTING AND CARE OF ROSES 
The rose is today, as in years past, the most desired flower. 
Recognizing this demand and appeal we have specialized in 
growing only ehoice varieties and ones that will thrive in this 
section of the country. 
Our roses are field grown, hardy, thrift y and vigorous. They 
are not to be confused with the lighter grade plants grown in 
hothouses or in the warmer climates oi this country. Our rose 
bushes have all bloomed in our nursery fields before being 
sold to our customers and can be depended upon to bloom the 
first season and to bloom profusely. 
Roses should be planted in a rich soil with good drainage in 
an open, airy location unshaded by trees or buildings. All 
plants should be pruned closely at planting, and each Spring 
remove about one half of the previous years growth. This is 
important as roses bloom on the new wood. Plant the roses so 
the joint where the bush was budded is about an inch below 
the ground. As soon as severe freezing weather sets in raise 
t he soil around the plant about three or four inches. Then cover 
to a depth of about eight or twelve inches with leaves or straw. 
Remove this in the Spring after the danger of severe freezing 
is past.
