No matter what Rose enthusiasts say about getting results from Roses, the plants 
?re the first thing to consider and study. The plants are both foundation and super¬ 
structure of the successful garden. Poor soil can be replaced or fertilized; proper drainage 
can be supplied; insects and diseases can be controlled. But weak, stunted, store-dried 
plants are always a disappointment. No amount of cultivating or coddling will make 
them into strong-growing and free-flowering Rose bushes. 
Rosemont provides the foundation for a Rose-garden that will give satisfaction and 
joy: Better Plants and Better Varieties. 
“It matters not what goal you seek. 
Its secret here reposes: 
You’ve got to dig from week to week 
To get results or ROSES .”—Edgar A. Guest. 
With due respect to Mr. Guest, it is not necessary to burden yourself with such a 
task. Most gardeners find pleasure and recreation in the garden. Another equally 
enthusiastic writer speaks thus— 
“But these light gardening operations are not labor, they are a 
delightful amusement to a refined mind, and lead it to reflect on 
the wonderful infinites of Nature.”— Rivers. 
So there is no reason to be discouraged. Remember, first, Rosemont plants, then 
your love and care will determine the results. 
Here Are Simple Suggestions for 
Growing Prize-Winning Roses 
Time to Plant. We advise fall planting 
when and where possible. You should be 
guided by climatic conditions in your section 
and the experience of successful local gar¬ 
deners. We usually begin shipping about 
October 1 and continue until April 1, but 
find the late spring plantings do not survive 
the first summer as well as the earlier plant¬ 
ings. 
Any good soil, in a sunny location, and 
away from trees and shrubbery, is right for 
Roses. The soil should be spaded or plowed 
deeply, and all plant-food placed as far down 
as possible. (See illustration below.) 
Rosemont Roses are pruned, ready for set¬ 
ting—they will not need further pruning the 
first season. If roots should be broken in 
packing, cut them off before planting. 
Make the hole deep, and be sure that the 
plant is set low enough so that the bud- 
union will be at least 2 inches below the top 
of the soil, and the roots spread as shown in 
the illustrations at bottom of this page. 
Pack the soil tightly around the roots, but 
leave the top-soil slightly loose to act as a 
mulch and to retain moisture. If fertilizer is 
required on the surface, spread it carefully 
and work into the top-soil, but avoid having 
fertilizer or plant-foods in direct contact 
with the roots. 
Should watering be required in dry weather 
be sure to soak the soil thoroughly. A light 
sprinkling is almost useless. Good cultivation 
and loose top-soil, or a mulch of peat moss, 
is surely as important as watering. 
Mildew and black-spot may be controlled 
with a mixture of 9 parts dusting sulphur to 
1 part arsenate of lead, applied weekly with 
a dusting-gun or muslin bag. 
When cutting the blooms, be sure to let 
two leaves remain on the branch. (See 
illustration.)
