SOME NOTES ON THEIR CULTIVATION 
Betore planting, dig the bed up from 12 to 18 inches deep, 
^orporating an abundance of well rotted manure. When 
planting, insert the plant in the 
ground so that the roots are well 
covered, taking care to make 
the soil firm around the plant, 
leaving a depression around the 
plant to hold the water. 
Roses need lots of water 
when dry and it is important 
to give the plants a thorough 
watering. Roses need an abun¬ 
dance of fertilizer. Bonemeal 
is very beneficial. However, 
Vigoro, the prepared fertilizer, 
is recommended because it is a 
complete plant food furnishing 
every food element required. 
When syringing Roses, al¬ 
ways do so in the morning and 
only when the sun is shining. 
This allows the foliage to become dry before the evening. 
Damp or wet foliage will cause black spot and mildew. 
In the Fall, before the ground freezes, the Hybrid Tea 
Roses should have a mound of soil placed around the plants 
from 10 to 12 inches high. After the ground is frozen to a 
depth of 3 or 4 inches, the entire bed should be covered with 
salt hay or coarse horse manure to a depth of 6 inches. Hybrid 
Perpetual Roses do not require the mounding of the soil 
around them, but the covering of the soil with coarse manure 
or salt hay is beneficial for these also. 
Our Roses are all pot-grown and can therefore be planted 
out any time without disturbing the roots. 
We have about 40 of the best varieties, including the new 
introductions, and recommend each one for its habit of growth, 
hardiness, productivity, and its color. 
Proper method of covering Rose 
Bushes for Winter protection 
All our Roses are packed in Cloverset Pots. By this method 
we are able to start the plants growing under the proper con¬ 
ditions, thus enabling the purchaser to plant the Roses when 
in lull bloom without any harm to the plant.
