YOUR ROSE GARDEN 
The Eastern Shore is a wonderful rose growing 
country. The winters are mild enough to grow a great 
variety. The two best seasons for bloom, spring and 
fall are long, making rich colored flowers and lux¬ 
uriant foliage. 
Plant your roses in rich warm, fairly heavy soil, 
spaced two feet apart and if possible protect from 
the wind by a fence or hedge. The soil should be 
prepared to a foot in depth and fertilized with manure 
or a well-balanced garden fertilizer. It is important 
to grow a healthy plant before letting it flower. 
Disbudding and not cutting too much of the foliage 
are good practices the first reason. Keep your roses 
clean by spraying for black ^ot with Bordeaux, col¬ 
lecting all dead leaves and flowers and burning them. 
In the fall it is a good practice to remove the top layer 
of soil and replace with other top soil before mulching 
with manure. 
Plant standard varieties, several of one kind so 
that you will have enough blooms for picking and 
plant only the very best grade of Roses—
