The Rose is the National Flower. Of Thee I Sing! 
rowing Good Roses 
.The beds ought not to be more than 4 feet wide, and the soil should be rich. Avoid making the ground loose or spongy. The 
stiffer and harder the soil in the lower layers of the bed, the better Roses grow. Old sods, greasy decayed cow-manure, bone meal, 
and commercial dried sheep manure are good fertilizers. Keep the surface of the Rose-beds well cultivated. 
Plant Hybrid Tea Roses feet apart. More vigorous types need more space. Set the “bud” or “graft” at least 1 inch beneath 
the surface. Spread out the fine roots carefully and tamp the soil firmly about them. It is sometimes well to tread the soil 
hard about the roots. Loose planting is fatal. 
Roses must be pruned when planted, and every spring afterward. Remove weak and dead wood, and shorten the new growths 
to 6 inches or less, remembering that dwarf, slender-growing Roses must be cut back harder than strong ones. Climbing Roses 
ought not to be cut in the spring except to take out dead wood, but in July, when they have finished flowering, remove the old canes 
and train up new vigorous shoots from the roots for next year’s bloom. 
The green plant-lice which attack the tips and buds of Roses in spring and fall may be destroyed by a nicotine spray such 
as Black-Leaf 40. Hand picking is best for rose-bugs. Black-spot and mildew may be prevented by bordeaux mixture orthe 
sulphur-arsenate dust recommended by the American Rose Society. 
Protect for winter by drawing the earth 6 inches high about them 
and cover the tops with leaves or other litter. Remove the protection 
gradually when freezing weather is past.
