CARE OF ROSES 
Planting. It should be borne in mind that roses 
will do much better in well-drained clay soil with 
plenty of sun. The plants should be set out as 
soon as received. The rose beds should be so 
planned that they will be at least three feet wide, 
but never more than six feet in width. Holes to 
receive plants should be dug at least fifteen inches 
deep and equally as wide, so that the roots may be 
spread easily. Well-seasoned cow manure and a 
little bone meal may be incorporated with the soil. 
Fill in earth and pack firmly so as to leave no air 
pockets. The juncture of the root stock and stems 
should be just beneath the surface. Newly-planted 
roses should be well watered. We recommend 
placing Hybrid Tea Rose bushes eighteen inches 
apart. A little crowding makes for longer and 
straighter stems. 
Pruning. For best results the Hybrid Teas 
should be cut back to about six or eight inches, 
leaving an outside bud at the top of the cane. 
Climbing roses bloom on canes of the previous 
season’s growth, hence the old wood should be 
cut out each year. 
Fertilizing. A handful of bone meal and a four- 
inch pot full of sheep manure should be worked 
into the surface soil. This will insure luxuriant 
growth, good stems and flowers of splendid sub¬ 
stance. 
Winter Protection. In late fall or early winter, 
earth should be heaped over the crowns to a depth 
of at least ten inches. If available, cow manure 
should be placed around the mounds. This hill¬ 
ing up process will protect the bushes against the 
drying action of winter winds, frost, and sun. 
About the last week in March the winter cover¬ 
ing should be removed, fertilizer applied and the 
bed raked off smooth. 
Summer Care. A top dressing of peat moss 
not only gives the rose bed a neat appearance, but 
causes better growth by conserving moisture and 
keeping down weeds. Grass clippings may be 
used instead of peat moss. If no mulch is used,

keep the top soil pulverized with a sharp rake. 
After every rain, the crust should be broken up 
as soon as the ground is mellow enough to work. 
Spraying. If you would have perfect blossoms 
and glossy, healthy foliage, a definite spray pro¬ 
gram must be adopted and kept up throughout 
the season. There are many products on the 
market designed for the protection of roses against 
the ravages of sucking and eating insects and fungus 
diseases. Whether you use a dust or a liquid spray, 
applications should be made at regular intervals, 
remembering that black-spot and mildew are most 
apt to gain a foothold during damp and cloudy 
weather. Many rose growers find in Triogen the 
simplest and most efficient protection for roses.
