Plant ROSES *11144, fycdl 
Experienced rosarians plant their Roses in the fall, and for many good reasons: First, and 
most important, because at that time you get the plants freshly dug from the fields; they 
go into your garden with all the vitality they have been storing up for over two years. 
The reason for fall planting is that the plants start growing as soon as the frost is out 
of the ground, and all season they will be way ahead of plants set out in the spring. 
Also, in fall planting you get first choice of both plants and varieties. 
In planting Roses in the fall, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots with¬ 
out bending, put a mound of clean earth in tne center of the hole, spread out the roots, 
and set the plant on the mound (in this position the roots are spread out and slightly 
down). Fill in with clean eartn and tramp solidly as tne hole is filled; when nearly full 
pour in several quarts of water, allow it to drain away, then finish filling in around the 
plant and immediately hill up with clean earth, peat moss, ashes, or sand, at least 8 in. 
high. This keeps sun and wind off the canes and the plant is protected for the winter. 
Dig the hole just deep enough and set the plant so that when the hills are removed 
in the spring the bud (knob where the plant was budded) is just covered. 
We ship from October 10 until the ground freezes, and you can safely plant as late 
as the soil is workable.
