Roses for Fall Planting 
Dormant Hardy Roses can be supplied from October 20 to April 1. Tea Roses all the year. 
The fall is a much better time for planting Hardy Roses than the spring, and better plants and a better assortment of varieties can be 
obtained in the fall. In fact, I have always found it impossible to obtain a good assortment of Roses on their own roots in the spring, and I 
am loath to handle any other kind. 
After a long experience with Roses, I have concluded that the imported budded Roses are comparatively worthless for general planting, 
and I have decided with the exception of a few varieties, which can only be obtained in budded plauts,to handle nothing but American-grown 
Roses on their own roots. The Roses I handle are of exceptionally tine quality — there is nothing finer to be obtained at any price. Dormant 
Hardy Roses should be planted in the fall, or very early in the spring, and when planted fully two-thirds of the tops should be cutoff. This 
is imperative Protect beds during the winter with three or four inches of stable manure. 
Roses grown on their own roots do not make as large plants in the nursery as budded plants, but their superiority is unquestioned. I 
could furnish imported budded plants at half the prices quoted below and make a good profit.
