Roses 
All of the roses described in this catalog have been thoroughly tested. We try out annually all 
of the leading new sorts, many of which will never appear in our catalog, as they failed to‘ mea¬ 
sure up to our standard. Before sending roses to our clients we must be assured that they are good grow¬ 
ers and free bloomers. Of course, some roses will give better results in certain localities than others, and 
some of the forcing roses will not stand in open ground, and vice-versa. Strong, field-grown roses have al¬ 
ways been one of our specialties. For many years our roses have been noted for their sturdiness and un¬ 
usual vigor. Roses grown at Augusta are giving splendid results in Canada and other cold sections. 
Our soil is especially adapted to developing the rose properly. Our one year, field-grown plants equal the 
average two-year, field-grown plants of the North and West. 
No garden, it matters not how small, is complete without roses, and every landscape scheme should be 
provided with a place for the rose. 
We grow roses on own roots, also budded on Manetti. Some varieties of roses do not give satisfactory 
results unless budded. These roses are especially desirable for Florida and sub-tropical sections, as their 
roots penetrate the soil to a greater depth than the own root plants. 
DIRECTIONS FOR GROWING ROSES 
Soil and Preparation of Same—The rose will adapt itself to almost any well-drained soil, but will give 
, results when planted m a good. rich, deep loam which has been thoroughly drained and well fertilized. 
. however, the soil is thin and sandy it is advisable to add a good proportion of heavy soil. It is best to 
plant roses in an open, sunny place where the plants will be

After the beds have been cultivated, rake the surface smooth and even. Frequent stirring of the surface is 
beneficial. A top dressing of hardwood ashes is excellent. 
roots. Budded roses should have the budded portion set 2 to 3 inches below the level. Fill the hole half-full 
of soil .pour m water let this settle, put in some more earth, firm this well about the roots, then fill in the 
hole and firm when the job is completed. ’ 
Water the plants whenever needed, and keep the soil well cultivated. 
I> 5^ in if~ This n °t be done too early in the winter in this section. We have found from experi¬ 
ence that is roses are trimmed before January 1st, they sometimes, during warm winters, start an earlv 
growth, and consequently the plants are killed by the heavy frosts in February. About two thirds of the 
past year s growth should be cut off, and all of the small, weak shoots and all decayed wood cut out When 
pruning cut close to an eye or to the main stem of the plant. I)o not leave ragged or jagged stems as 
these decay and injure the plants. The more vigorous the variety the less it should be pruned Climbing 
roses should have only their side branches shortened in. Do not disturb the main stem. g

We frequently receive complaints from our patrons who order late ni the spring. They state that the 
flowers produced are inferior and do not come up to description. It should be understood that perfect flow¬ 
ers cannot be had when the plants are set out late in February or March, and which produce blooms before 
they are well established. But if these plants are allowed to grow until the following fall and receive the
