JACOTTE 
AN ENGLISH CLIMBING ROSE 
“THE JACOTTE” 
A magnificent climber which has steadily won popularity because of its lasting fragrance 
and its exceptionally glossy, holly-like foliage. Blooms early Spring in rich profusion in a 
coloring of copper salmon, tinted red and yellow. We heartily recommend it as one of 
our best—a rose in which you will find exquisite delight. 
Measure Your Success with the Care You Give to the Culture of Your Roses 
On the planting, pruning and care you give 
your roses, depends your success in developing 
prized specimens. Locate where plants are pro¬ 
tected from strong winds. Soil should be of a 
rather adhesive nature, yet porous enough to 
permit drainage. Clay loam is best. Do not plant 
near trees, hedges, or shrubs, and do not plant 
annuals near them. Follow cultural directions fur¬ 
nished in detail, in planting in properly prepared 
beds at proper depths. Prune as directed, and 
you will give your roses the correct start in life. 
Your attention to the plants after planting, is 
equally important for best results, and realize full 
enjoyment from your rose garden. Roses are sub¬ 
ject to diseases and pests, but do not wait until 
disease starts or pests infect them. Dust and spray 
as a preventative. Protect your roses from winter 
kill, in localities where there are probabilities of 
temperture going to zero or below. 
Full information on all these essential factors 
in the successful culture of roses is furnished with 
your plants. To heed the advice means satisfac¬ 
tion and pleasure—the complete realization of 
the results you expect to obtain.
