HARDY ROSES 
Roses should be planted in rich, well prepared soil, preferably clay loam, fertilized with 
well rotted manure or bone meal. They should be given thorough, but shallow cultivation. 
The best results can be obtained when planted in the open sunlight. All Roses are benefitted 
by winter protection, by banking about the plant with earth or covering with a light mulch 
of leaves or peat moss. Roses should be trimmed in the spring before growth starts, shap¬ 
ing the plant and removing all canes that have become weakened by blooming. The health 
and vigor of the plant can be improved by removing the dead flowers during the summer. 
To counteract any damage to the leaves by worms use Arsenate of Lead; for aphis, thrip, 
or red spider, use Nicotine; and for fungus use Bordeaux Mixture or Sulphur, for Brown 
Spot use Massey or Manganar Dust.
