CULTIVATE frequently around Rose-plants. Do not allow the soil to 
bake and become hard at any time. Remember that roots breathe, and culti¬ 
vation permits the air to reach the roots. Without cultivation plants will 
remain at a standstill. 
FOLIAGE TROUBLE. Newer Roses are not as subject to diseases as older 
varieties; they are much more resistant and many are almost immune. However, 
atmospheric conditions are more favorable some years than others, and an 
occasional dusting or spraying with accepted formulas would act as a pre¬ 
ventative. 
WINTERING ROSES. After the first good heavy frost, bundle the branches 
together, cut them back to about 18 to 20 inches, mound earth around the 
plants up to 6 to 8 inches, or higher if practical, spread manure in the hollows 
between plants. Later on, when the ground is frozen, add a covering of leaves, 
straw, salt, hay or cornstalks to keep the ground frozen and as a protection 
against sun and wind. In the spring, remove covering a little at a time, first 
straw or leaves, then the coarse part of the manure, and finally level the soil 
when danger of hard spring frosts is past. 
Hardy Climbers seldom need winter protection in most sections of the 
United States. However, where temperatures of 10° to 20° below zero are a 
common occurrence. Climbers winter well if taken down from their support 
and laid flat on the ground where they can be covered with earth or heavy straw. 
How to Order 
Jackson & Perkins Company operates exclusively at wholesale and makes no sales direct to the 
public. Their new varieties are sold by nurserymen, florists, seedsmen, and dealers everywhere. 
Communicate with your usual dealer and if he does not have on hand the kinds you want, he 
can secure the plants from us. If there is any serious delay, write us with a list of your selections 
and we will take the matter up with him or refer you to someone who can furnish you with plants.
