MISS ROWENA THOM 
Here are some instructions 
which may help you to grow 
extra-fine Roses: 
Any good garden soil will grow good Roses. 
In planting a dormant Rose, dig a hole wide 
enough so that the roots can be spread out 
without bending and deep enough 
so the crown will be just barely 
covered when the bed is finally 
leveled off. 
Set the plant and pack clean 
earth tightly around the roots, 
tamping solidly; when the hole is 
nearly full of earth, pour in a 
bucket of water. As soon as this drains 
away, finish filling up the hole and hill 
up to the top of the canes with clean 
earth, peat moss, or sand—anything to 
protect the canes from sun and wind 
until the plant can form new roots, which 
will not be for two or three weeks. If you 
live where the ground freezes and are planting 
in the fall, leave the hills for winter protection, 
removing as soon as frosts are over in the 
spring. Keep Roses well watered the first few 
weeks. Where winter protection is necessary, 
the most satisfactory method is a simple hill¬ 
ing up with clean earth.
