ROSE CULTURE 
PLANTING 
After selecting a sunny location for your rose garden, 
spread cow manure to a depth of four or five inches 
over the surface of the spot selected. Then spade the 
ground to a depth of at least one foot. Plant the roses 
three to four feet apart, being sure to keep the bud 
union at the ground level. Tamp the soil firmly about 
the roots and water thoroughly. 
IRRIGATION 
Apply a quantity of water at each irrigation sufficient 
to wet the soil to a depth of three feet. The depth to 
which the water has penetrated may be determined by 
forcing a small iron rod or hard wood stick into the soil. 
The rod or stick can easily be pressed into the ground 
as far as the water has penetrated. Water only often 
enough to keep the soil moist. We do not recommend 
“resting” roses, during July and August, except to those 
who are thoroughly experienced in this operation. 
PRUNING 
A light pruning about September 1 will stimulate a 
late Fall and early Winter bloom. In January, roses 
should have a thorough pruning. This is absolutely es¬ 
sential. If you do not know how, we will be glad to 
recommend a competent man to you.
