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. 
FERTILIZATION 
Roses should be fertilized about September 1 and again 
about January 15. We consider cow manure the best fer¬ 
tilizer for roses, and the fresher the better. Be generous 
with it. There is little danger of applying too much. 
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 determind 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 ex¬ 
perienced in this operation. 
PEST CONTROL 
Roses should be sprayed twice each year during August 
and September, with an oil spray. (This, if done thoroughly, 
will control red scale.) For aphis spray with any good 
nicotine spray. 
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 essential. If 
you do not know how, we will be glad to recommend a 
competent man to you.
