they are de-eyed before planting so as to prevent 
the growth of suckers after they reach the custo¬ 
mer’s garden. Multiflora Japonica rose roots are 
used because they have been found to be the best 
for almost the entire country. And a budded rose 
is preferred in the first place to one on its own 
roots because it is stronger growing, produces 
more blooms, is hardier and easier to transplant. 
Wyant Roses, budded on our selected root stock, 
can be safely planted on either sand or clay soil, 
very rarely suckers and is hardy even in the cold¬ 
est sections. 
Most of the patented varieties that are listed 
are grown right here on our own grounds under 
royalty contract so that they are Wyant Roses 
with Wyant Quality. Their first winter after be¬ 
ing budded they are left right in the field where 
the rugged winters of Northern Ohio give them 
hardiness. The last year of their growth in our 
fields they are given the utmost attention and 
protection; they are dusted conscientiously 
throughout the season to prevent Black-spot thus 
keeping the foliage on until frost takes it off. This 
gives them a chance to store up energy that shoots 
them out in the spring, the way you want them 
to grow. 
In digging, Wyant Roses are given the greatest 
protection to keep them from drying out at any 
time. The roots are not cut too short but left of 
sufficient length to insure good growth. Then in 
storage the protection continues during the winter 
by covering the roots with moist sand and keep¬ 
ing the temperature as near freezing as possible. 
In buying Wyant Roses you are buying the 
best. They are called two years old, but have a 
full three seasons growth before they are sold and 
not merely two seasons as many roses have. This 
all helps to produce Wyant Quality Roses—roses 
that are entitled to listing in the Blue Book— 
roses that you will be proud to introduce in your 
garden.
