CULTIVATE frequently around Rose-plants. Do not allow the soil to bake and become 
hard at any time. Remember that roots breathe, and cultivation permits the air to reach the 
roots. Without cultivation plants will remain at a standstill. 
Hardy Climbers seldom need winter 
protection in most sections of the United 
States. However, where temperatures 
of 10° to 20° below zero are a common 
occurrence, Climbers winter well if 
taken down from their support and laid 
flat on the ground where they can be 
covered with earth or heavy straw.

FOLIAGE TROUBLE. Newer Roses are not as subject to diseases as older varieties; they 
are much more resistant and many are almost immune. However, atmospheric conditions are 
more favorable some years than others, and an occasional dusting or spraying with accepted 
formulas would act as a preventative. 
WINTERING ROSES. After the first good heavy frost, bundle the branches together, 
cut them back to about 18 to 20 inches, mound earth around the plants up to 6 to 8 inches, 
or higher if practical, spread manure in the hollows between plants. Later on, when the 
ground is frozen, add a covering of leaves, straw, salt hay or cornstalks to keep the ground 
frozen and as a protection against sun and wind. In the spring, remove covering a little at a 
time, first straw or leaves, then the coarse part of the manure, and finally level the soil when 
danger of hard spring frosts is past. In California and the South, this type of winter protection 
is, of course, not necessary.
