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 coldest 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 being budded 
they are left right in the field where the rugged winters of North¬ 
ern 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 keeping the temperature as nearly freez¬ 
ing 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 prQud to introduce 
in your garden and with which you will be sure to have success.
