PLANTING AND 
CARE OF ROSES 
Planting 
Site. Sunny. Perfect drainage. 
Soil Depth. 1 % to 3 feet. 
Soil Mix. 50% clay sod; 20% cow- 
manure; 20% peat humus; 10% sand. 
Keep roots moist before planting. 
Trim bruised roots. 
Cut back stems to 8 or 10 inches. 
Dig large hole to prevent root cramping. 
Set plant so that finished grade of bed 
covers bud or graft joint from 1 to 2 inches. 
Tramp soil firm about roots and water 
until soil cannot absorb more. 
Fill in to bed grade with loose soil. 
Finished grade of bed should be about 
2 inches below grade of lawn to allow 
maximum of water penetration. 
Watering 
Sprinkling every day is useless. 
Pour on the water until the soil is 
saturated to the bottom of the bed. Deter¬ 
mine the exact time and amount of water 
required by digging down in the bed, then 
water as needed. 
Between waterings cultivate the surface 
to provide loose mulch. 
Spray with dry sulphur against black- 
spot and mildew. 
Spray with “Black-Leaf 40” against 
aphis. 
Spray with arsenates against leaf-eating 
insects. 
Protection 
In November pull the loose soil up 
around the bush to a depth of a foot or 
more. 
After the ground is frozen in December 
fill the entire Rose bed with leaves, straw, 
or other loose mulching material. This 
prevents excessive drying of the stems and 
assures healthy, live wood in spring.
