STANDARD OR TREE ROSES 
T HE Standard or Tree Rose plant differs from the ordinary bush Hybrid Tea in that 
it has an upright stem several feet in height, and usually of a peculiar form of Rugosa 
root, at the top of which has been worked or budded and trained in one of the Hybrid 
Tea, Tea, Polyantha, or Climbing Roses. These Tree Roses thus provide flowers in a form 
somewhat suggesting that of an umbrella maintained above a single stem, and they are 
exceedingly effective when properly used in gardens to mark out walks or aisles or grown 
among or in front of the bush Roses. They have stems from 3^ to 4 feet high, with 2-year 
tops. 
All Standard or Tree Roses are $2.50 each, except where otherwise noted 
SUGGESTIONS FOR PLANTING AND CARE OF STANDARD OR TREE ROSES 
Upon their receipt, submerge the whole plant, if possible, in water for a few hours. Do 
not permit the roots to be exposed to sun or wind. 
The soil in which they are to be planted should be prepared as for Hybrid Teas, in¬ 
cluding digging at least 18 inches deep and the thorough admixture of much well-rotted 
manure, together with a little air-slaked lime to sweeten the soil. 
Plant carefully, as recommended on page 0 for Hybrid Teas. Be sure to plant deep 
enough, so that there are at least 4 inches of the stem below the surface of the soil. 
A strong stake should be placed on the south side of the Rose and the plant carefully 
tied to it in such fashion as to prevent chafing. 
> In the spring the branches of Standard or Tree Roses should be cut back to within 
4 inches of the main stem. 
_ Winter protection is best accomplished by wrapping the stem and head with several 
thicknesses of heavy paper, afterward carefully loosening the plant from the soil and laying 
it down in a trench in which it can be covered with 6 inches or more of soil and some loose 
litter. If it is found impossible to thus lay down the plant, an additional wrapping of straw 
can be provided, at the same time arranging additional support so that the plant cannot 
be torn loose by the winter winds.
