Rose Culture 
Roses delight in a warm location where 
they will receive plenty of sunshine. They 
are at their best when not competing w T ith 
larger plants for their moisture and light. 
The Rugosa Hybrids, however, seem to do 
well under the ordinary competition of 
other plants in the shrub border. 
Any effort expended in making the soil 
rich will be generously rewarded with in¬ 
crease in both size and number of blooms. 
Roses, especially budded varieties, should 
be planted considerably deeper than they 
?rew formerly. 
At planting they should be pruned back 
to two or three stems with only four or five 
buds on each. The entire top should then 
be mounded up with dirt which should be 
left there until the buds start to sprout. 
(See illustration below.) A mulch of well 
rotted manure or peat on top of the soil 
will prove highly beneficial to the plants 
through the growing season.
