Planting and Care of Roses 
Roses should be planted in good, rich soil. Dig the hole 
deep enough so that it can be set in the ground about 2 inches 
below where it was budded. That will prevent suckers from 
growing up from the natural root. Do not trim the root off too 
severely, but cut the tops off about 8 inches above the top of 
the ground. Pack good rich soil thoroughly around the roots, 
being careful not to let any compost come in contact with the 
roots. Keep the top of the earth thoroughly worked around 
the bushes the entire season. Each following Spring they 
should be pruned 10 to 12 inches. Always use pruning shears, 
as a knife has a tendency of loosening them from the earth.
