How to Plant Roses 
Hoses prefer clay soil, especially bush 
I'oses. Ciimbing roses will do fairly well 
in sand or gravel if it is well prepared. 
Roses should be set so that the soil comes 
up one or two inches above the bud. This 
gives added protection and also discour¬ 
ages sprouting of tlie wild stock on which 
most bush roses are budded or grafted. 
Roses planted in the spi'ing should be 
trimmed severely when planted to within 
4 or f) inches of the ground as rose plants 
will not support the full amount of top. 
Failure to trim is the most frequent cause 
of loss in spring planting of roses. 
Since bush roses are usually hudded or 
g’rafted it is necessary to watch closely 
for sprouts from the understock and cut

out piomptly if they’ appear. In I’emov-1 
ing the wild shoots dig down and cut off I 
tb.e shoot close to the stock. Failure to | 
do this will often smother out the budded* 
portion, causing the loss of the plant. f 
If roses are planted in the fall it is best! 
not to trim them when planting- butt 
mound up the soil about the plant to the J 
height of ten or twelve inches, and with| 
the approach of freezing weather cover I 
the entire bed with a light mulch of I 
straw, leaves or cut grass for additional | 
protection. Early in the spring before* 
growth starts remove the mulch and level | 
down the hills; cut out all weak shoots i 
and cut back the main shoots to within* 
four or six inches of the grotind or to | 
sound wood. | 
Climbing roses need little if any pro-j 
tection, but in a latitude where injury’’T 
occurs the canes should be laid down and I 
ooy’Pred with earth each fall and tied up I 
tn t^m trellis again early' in the spring. |
