Roses 
1+ can truly be said that a garden is not 
complete unless there is a bed of roses. It 
is very important that the soil is worked up 
and in good condition before the planting 
of the bushes. The ground should be worked 
up as you would in an onion bed; for best 
results plant roses where the ground is well 
drained, on level ground is all right, but do 
not plant these in a place where water 
stands for long at a time.
