Planting and Care of Roses 
Roses should be planted in good, rich soil. Dig the hole deep enough so that it can be set in the ground about 2 inches below 
where it was budded. That will prevent suckers from growing up from the natural root. Do not trim the root off too severely, but 
cut the tops off about 8 inches above the top of the ground. Pack good rich soil thoroughly around the roots, being careful not to 
let any compost come in contact with the roots. Keep the top of the earth thoroughly worked around the bushes the entire season. 
Each following Spring they should be pruned 10 to 12 inches. Always use pruning shears, as a knife has a tendency of loosening 
them from the earth. 
To immunize Healthy Roses spray with NICOTINE P YROX, dust with GRAPE DUST, Kills Mildew. See Pages 4 and 5
