Potted Rose Plants 
All flower fanciers love roses and to grow them in the garden so they 
will bloom early and over a long period has always been a problem in this 
northern section. 
Last season, as an experiment, we potted a large number of rose plants 
in late winter. For this purpose we used a wooden pot sufficiently large 
to hold an adequate quantity of rich soil. The potted plants were brought 
into the greenhouse to start early growth so they were leafed out, and a 
few of them even in bud, when danger of frost was over. Without remov¬ 
ing the plants from the pots, or in any way disturbing their roots, they 
could be set out in the garden. The result was a sturdy, vigorous plant 
in full growth which would bloom soon after being set out. 
This method of handling rose plants met with such enthusiastic response 
from our customers that we shall offer them again this year. The average 
weight of these plants is 10 pounds.
