ROSES—Latest and Choi ce Va rieties 
BEST VARIETIES FOR THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION 
F all lovely and various flowers, the rose is the universal 
favorite, for it offers an abundant range of color, and a 
diversity of blooms that no other can equal. 
If you are planning a rose garden remember that roses are 
most effective when planted in beds or in borders. These should 
be wide enough for at least three rows of plants. 
Simple formality in the ar¬ 
rangement of a rose garden is 
best, but a bird bath in the cen¬ 
ter, flag stone paths, or a rose ar¬ 
bor at one end of the garden, will 
add to its beauty. 
Dormant roses should be plant¬ 
ed in the spring. We keep them 
in our moist storage cellar so that 
they do not leaf out, but are kept 
fresh and full of life. 
A rose likes well-drained, rich 
soil; and needs plenty of food to 
produce its flowers. Plant your 
roses where the soil is not very 
sandy, about 2 inches deeper than 
they were in the nursery. 
The soil should be enriched dur¬ 
ing the spring and summer to se¬ 
cure an abundance of colorful blooms. 
To keep bush roses in good condition through the winter, mound 
up about 6 inches of soil and cover with leaves in the fall.
