ROSE CULTURE 
Upon receipt of plants, open bundle and place in pail of water for 
several hours. After removing from water, trim off broken or damaged 
roots. Soil should be well prepared before plants arrive. Spade a good 
garden soil two feet deep and thoroughly mix Sheep Manure or well 
rotted stable manure with the soil. Set Bush roses two to three feet 
apart, climbers six feet apart. 
Dig hole large enough to spread the roots without crowding and 
deep enough so that the scar left by budding is beneath the surface. 
In filling with soil, shake plant lightly so that soil get all around the 
roots. Then fill hole complete so plant is set solid, soak well with 
water. Further pruning back may be done before new leaf growth 
starts in the spring. 
Cultivate frequently, about one inch deep without disturbing the 
roots. Mulch entire beds with two-inch layer of peat moss. This pro¬ 
tects roots from sun, and conserves soil moisture. When watering, soak 
the ground thoroughly, don’t water again until the surface is quite dry.
