100 MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN ROSES 
The Roses we are offering are all strong 2-year field grown plants that were dug last Fall and potted into 6-inch pots, then stored 
in cold frames without any artificial heat. During the latter part of March these potted plants are moved to beds in the open air where 
they receive no further protection. Under this treatment the plants develop in a natural way and are not only superior to stock which 
has been developed into full growth under glass, but also better for Spring planting than plants which have been carried in cellars, in 
cold storage or kept dormant in any other way until planting time in late April or May. Roses thrive best in an open sunny position 
and they should be planted away from all trees and shrubs so that the roots will have the full benefit of the nourishment in the soil. 
Roses are gross feeders and consequently require a rich soil. Select a well drained position where the soil is good and dig in a liberal 
amount of well decomposed stable manure, thoroughly mixing it with the soil. For best results the beds should be made from 4 to 5 
feet wide, planting the Hybrid Teas 18 inches apart and the stronger growing Hybrid Perpetuals 2 feet apart, planting all about 8 inches 
or 10 inches from the edge of the beds. The pot grown plants we send out have already been pruned and arrive with a ball of earth 
around the roots; this ball should not be disturbed but should be thoroughly wet when planted. Budded Roses should be planted so that 
the bud is about 2 inches below the surface of the ground; firm the soil well around the roots and give a thorough watering. Throughout 
the Summer, the surface of the bed should be frequently cultivated, or a good mulch of our granulated Peat Moss will be found very 
beneficial, as it not only keeps the ground cool and moist but it prevents the growth of weeds.
