When the Rose plants have been selected, the next step in the 
growing of successful Roses is the study of the proper methods of 
culture. Any Rose lover knows that through the attention to cer¬ 
tain principles of cultivation better results can be obtained. Simple 
directions accompany every Wyant Rose, but the suggestions given 
below are intended to offer additional help to Rose lovers. 
SELECTION OF LOCATION 
In selecting the location for your Rose bed, it is not important 
whether your Roses are to get morning or afternoon sunlight, but 
that they do get about a half a day of sun. Part shade is preferable 
to a full day of sunlight. 
TREE ROOTS 
Select a location where tree roots cannot interfere with your Rose 
roots. It is surprising how quickly tree roots will find a Rose bed 
and fill it, consuming food and moisture intended for the Roses. If 
necessary, dig a trench around your Rose bed, as deep as the tree 
roots extend, thereby cutting off all that might attempt to enter 
the Rose bed. This trench may be filled in again immediately, and 
should be dug around the Rose bed every year if the tree roots 
prove bothersome.
