HALLAWELL’S SELECT ROSES 
Hallawell’s Select Roses are a selected No. 1 grade. They are grown under soil and climatic conditions suitable for pro¬ 
duction of vigorous bushes which will grow to strong sturdy plants. There are four commercial grades of roses and Hallawell’s 
Select Roses are selected first grade. Bush Roses will bloom freely the first year, while climbing varieties often require two 
years or more to bloom profusely. 
Bare root bush and climbing varieties are usually ready for delivery in December if weather conditions permit digging. 
They are available during January, February and March or until the bare root supply is exhausted. 
PLANTING—Before planting dormant roses, remove the small branches and cut back the large ones to 5 or 6 inches, 
leaving an outside bud at the top. Plant to a depth where the bud-union will be just below the surface and pack the soil well 
around the roots, leaving no air spaces. Well-rotted manure and bone meal or other suitable fertilizer may be placed on the 
surface as a mulch after planting. 
SPRAYING—To prevent and control mildew, spray with any good fungicide which will not discolor the foliage. A 
suggested solution is 3 teaspoons Bordelo and 3 teaspoons Acme Emo-Nik to 1 gallon of water. Acme Aphis Spray is also 
recommended for aphis control. 
LATE SEASON PLANTING—Fine pot grown roses of many bush and climbing varieties are available during April, 
May, and June or until the supply is exhausted. These pot grown bushes are well established and growing, and will continue 
to grow in your garden without interruption. Prices are as listed, f. o. b. San Francisco. Shipment by express, transporta¬ 
tion charges collect; shipping weight averages 5 to 6 pounds per bush. 
Pruning 
This should be done during the months of December, January and February; at that time the bushes are in a dormant 
condition. Cut just above a prominent but dormant bud that is pointing outward. 
The Tea Varieties (T.) require to be more severely pruned than any other sort. Cut back to about 6 or 7 inches from the 
old wood each year; keep the center of the plant open and thin out all the weak wood, leaving about 5 or 6 shoots, according 
to the size of the plant. 
Hybrid Teas (H. T.) should have almost as much pruning done as the Teas. 
Hybrid Perpetuals (H. P.)—First cut out any dead or weak wood, keeping the center of the plant open, then cut the 
remaining shoots down to sound, healthy wood to within 6 or 12 inches of the base; this hard pruning keeps the plants 
compact and promotes new life for future years. After the first year they require little pruning except to cut out dead wood. 
Austrian and Hybrid Briars (H. B.) require to be cut back fairly hard when planted out but afterwards need no pruning 
except to cut out dead wood. 
Polyantha or Baby Roses (P.) should be but little pruned; merely cut out dead wood and keep the center of the plant 
from getting too crowded. 
Single (S.) require little (if any) priming when established, but will be the better for being cut back when planted. 
Climbers. These are not usually pruned severely as their purpose is for mass effect. They should, however, be period¬ 
ically thinned out.
