Success with roses is not difficult if you plant firmly and 
prune severely. Anyone who has a bit of ground that will grow 
good garden crops, with sun half the day or more, can grow 
good roses. Brief planting and pruning suggestions will be sent 
with each order. 
Budded and Own-root Roses 
If budded roses had no advantage, there would be no differ¬ 
ence of opinion. We prefer budded plants of most everbloom- 
ers and some of the hybrid perpetuals and climbers. They give 
more, better and larger flowers, and that’s what we grow roses 
for. The only disadvantage, which we think is more than off¬ 
set by their greater vigor and freedom of bloom, is that budded 
roses occasionally sprout from the roots. Such sprouts, which 
should be removed, have a different appearance with usually 7 
to 9 leaflets to the stem, while most hybrid perpetuals and ev- 
erblooming roses (except some yellow varieties) have 3 to 5, 
usually 5. When planted with the bud or joint just below the 
surface, roses as now budded seldom sprout.

For good rose results you want the best plants to begin with, 
and they can't be sold cheap. We have tried the roses from 
every important rose growing section in the United States. We 
could buy roses and sell them cheap, but such roses don’t satis¬ 
fy us The roses we sell we consider the best roses that can be 
grown. They please us and we feel sure will please you. 
We do not handle Southern Roses.
