PLANTING-TIME 
Proper planting-time, in the fall, is from November 1 until 
freezing weather; in the spring, from early March, when the 
ground opens, until April 30. Order early to insure your desired 
selection, and plant early each season for real Rose success. 
We earnestly recommend fall planting of Roses. The plants 
are freshly dug. The soil is moist and mellow, enabling the roots 
to establish themselves before winter, so that the plants go into 
immediate action when spring opens up. You need only to hill 
up the soil about 8 to 10 inches to protect the Roses'over the 
winter. Be absolutely certain that you do hill up. 
Spring planting is equally successful, if done early, but the 
plants take longer to become established.

Rose-beds should be prepared in advance of the arrival of 
the plants. 
Roses require sun, at least half of the day. Protection from 
strong winds is also desirable. The beds should be placed where 
the soil is naturally well drained, or drainage should be provided. 
The soil should be good garden loam. If it is poor, remove the 
top 8 to 10 inches, spade up the bottom, mixing in some good 
manure, and replace the top portion with good top-soil, letting 
it settle well before planting. 
The Roses should be planted about 12 to 15 inches apart each 
way, varying the distance somewhat, depending on the vigor 
and spread of the varieties selected.

All plants should be placed in the ground as soon as received. 
The bundles can usually be kept intact for a week, if kept in a 
cool, dark place. If delayed in planting for more than one week, 
remove the plants from the bundles, and hill them in carefully 
in a shady and moist place, until wanted. 
In planting in the fall, no pruning is necessary, but cutting 
back to 6 to 8 inches can do no harm. Immediately after plant¬ 
ing, hill the soil around each plant for 8 to 10 inches. 
In planting in the spring, trim the branches back to 4 to 5 
inches. If planting late in the spring, when it is warm, and it 
often is after the middle of April, hill the soil up slightly and keep 
the plants shaded from the sun for several weeks, and water 
well each day. 
Full planting directions are sent with each shipment, and 
one should read them carefully before proceeding with the 
job.
