ARE OFFERED AT REASONABLE PRICES 
Cole’s Roses have the reputation of being the best that it is possible 
to produce. They will give the kind of results every flower lover is 
looking for. The prices at which these Roses are offered are very 
reasonable, considering their exceptional quality. Good gardeners 
invariably are not interested in low-priced offers, which mean inferior 
quality that must prove disappointing in the end. 
Hybrid Tea Roses 
We offer only Roses grown here in our own 
nursery. Those grown in our locality are 
recognized as being the finest quality Roses 
produced in America. 
We send out only two-year-old XX guaranteed 
grade, which is top quality, and our select grade A 
which is just as old but the plants are not quite as 
large. Both grades will give good results the first 
season. 
We offer only the very choicest and most 
popular varieties of ffvbrid Tea Roses, and 
recommend this collection for general planting. 
Care and Culture of Roses 
Unpack your Roses immediately. You will 
find them cut back a little. Cut them back 
to within 6 to 8 inches of the union and plant 
them so that the union (or bud) is just below 
the surface of the ground. If the season is 
well advanced, hill the dirt up around the 
plant to a height of 6 to 8 inches. This will 
protect the lower eyes on the canes from be¬ 
coming dried out. After a period of two weeks 
(the roots have then become established), 
remove the dirt. Be sure to have your ground 
prepared before your Roses arrive. Never 
work clay soil when it is in a muddy condition. 
Many of our customers prefer fall planting 
of Roses, which has been proved to be just as 
satisfactory as spring planting. In this case 
much the same procedure is followed, except 
that you do not cut back the Roses at the 
time of planting, but mound up the soil about 
the plant to the height of 10 to 12 inches, and, 
with the approach of freezing weather, cover 
the entire bed with a light mulch of straw, 
leaves or cut grass for additional protection. 
Early in the spring, before growth starts, re¬ 
move the mulch and level down the hills, cut 
out all weak shoots, and cut back the main 
shoots to within 6 to 8 inches of the ground, 
or to sound wood.
