An article on Rose culture printed as it appeared in the August issue of 
Gulf Coast Gardner. 
Are you planning a Rose Garden for next season? If you are you should 
be anticipating a great deal of pleasure, for truly the Rose is the Queen of 
Flowers and no other gives such keen delight and joy in its wondrous beauty 
and fragrance. 
Perhaps there are some problems confronting you as to when and how 
to plant and what varieties to use. Suppose we start at the beginning and 
prepare the Rose Bed, which, incidentally, should be ready several weeks 
before the Roses are planted. 
The first thing to consider is the location of your Rose Garden. Make 
your plans so that the Rose Bed will be in a sunny location AWAY from 
trees and other shrubs which sap the soil in a large area surrounding them. 
Many people plant their Roses under trees and too near other shrubs and 
then wonder why the Roses do not succeed. Plan to put your Roses in a well- 
drained sunny location in a bed to themselves. 
Decide next about the size and shape of the bed. The size of course 
depends on the number of Rose Bushes you want; and any desired shape 
will do just so it is in balance with the remainder of your garden. After 
choosing the location, size and shape, use stakes and string to mark the 
bed in order to secure accurate shape and balance. Now block out all vegeta¬ 
tion inside the bed; that is, use a sharp spade and cut down several inches to 
uproot all grass and weeds. Be sure that you remove all roots of Bermuda 
grass for to leave them in the bed will only cause work later on when they 
have to be dug from around your Rose Bushes. 
The important object of your attention now should be the filling in of 
the Rose Bed with the proper kind of soil. Cover the entire surface of the 
newly cut out bed with well-rotted barnyard manure and leaf-mold to a depth
