When planting these roses prune both the 
roots and the tops and water generously after 
setting in rich well-drained soil. They are 
heavy feeders and ample amounts of both food 
and water will increase the quantity of flowers. 
For winter protection simply hill up the soil 
from the bed to about eight or ten inches 
around the base of the plants, leaving it until 
settled warm weather in the spring. 
Barnstable 1786: — Summer and winter on the bed of Dr. Abner Hersey reposed a 
dozen all-wool blankets. In hot weather he turned down one or two, using the rest for 
mattresses. In the cool of Autumn three or four were turned down , but when winter 
came he crawled under all twelve.
