Wyant Roses. 
2. Plant as early as possible 
in the Spring. 
3. When Roses are received 
don’t let them dry out. 
4. Leave Winter protection 
on a little longer than you 
think necessary. 
5. Remove Winter protec¬ 
tion a little at a time and 
then prune. 
6. Fertilize each April and 
June if you want the best 
results. Bonemeal is the 
only chemical fertilizer 
that may be applied to 
newly planted Roses. 
7. Be systematic about con¬ 
trolling insects and dis¬ 
eases. 
8. Disbud when side buds 
are very tiny if you want 
to produce specimen 
blooms. 
9. Prune climbers only 
when they get too large 
for your trellis. 
10. In pruning climbers re¬ 
move the oldest canes 
after they bloom in June 
or July.
