Roses like a good, rich, deep loam. There is little danger of getting the soil too rich. Shallow, 
sandy or gravelly soils are not suited to them. When it is necessary to plant in such as these, an 
artificial soil should be made by taking out a foot and a half of this natural soil, and filling in with 
rich, heavy loam. The hardy sorts are best transplanted in October. Tea varieties, or other tender 
sorts, which need protection in winter, are best planted in spring.
