How Anyone May Easily Grow 
Gorgeous Roses 
Today even the most inexperienced 
gardener can grow glorious roses suc¬ 
cessfully with much less bother than 
used to be considered necessary. The 
first thing to do is to buy Neosho roses, 
because the varieties listed have been 
selected and developed for easy grow¬ 
ing characteristics. The second thing 
to do is to follow the simple directions 
given below and on the following page. 
Location —Roses must have at least 
half a day’s sunlight and they cannot 
thrive in competition with the roots of 
trees. 
Soil —A clay loam is preferable but 
any ordinary garden soil thoroughly 
mixed with a large proportion of humus 
(well-rotted manure or vegetable mat¬ 
ter) will give satisfactory results. 
Care After Planting — Cultivate at 
least every two weeks, stirring the top 
soil lightly. Apply Vigoro in the early 
spring, following with applications six 
weeks apart. Keep your foliage healthy 
by dusting with Neosho Plant Health 
ten days apart throughout the season. 
Diagram “A” above shows how 
to set plant in ground for best 
results. 
Planting —When roses arrive, soak 
thoroughly in water or bury entire 
plant a day or two in soil. Avoid ex¬ 
posure of plants to sun or wind. Cut 
off ends of any bruised or broken roots. 
Set budded roses two inches lower than 
they stood in the nursery. Spread 
roots out carefully in holes and tamp 
soil closely about them within about 
two inches of the surface of the 
ground, pour in plenty of water and 
All up the hole with loose dirt. In fall 
planting, mound dirt up around the 
tops 8 or 10 inches above the ground. 
Winter Protection —Hybrid Teas re¬ 
quire winter protection in any climate 
where there is frost. Mound the dirt 
4 to 6 inches around each bush and 
after the ground freezes cover the en¬ 
tire bed with dry leaves or straw. Some 
hill up the earth 10 to 12 inches, and 
after freezing fill in the hollows be¬ 
tween the plants with leaves held in 
place by tree branches or wire netting. 
Remove this soil and mulch in the 
spring after danger of severe frost is 
past. This is to be raked down to the 
level after danger of freezing is over 
in the spring.
