Roses 
In our Northern climate roses must be selected with a 
thought for hardiness and vigor, and our collection em¬ 
braces those which have found popular favor and many of 
the newer ones from hardy strains. 
Dormant roses should be cut back to about six inches, 
and it is best to give the tops a slight protection from 
the sun until the leaves appear. The failure of most roses 
is due to a lack of moisture at this time. All budded roses 
should be planted so that the crook, just above the roots, 
will be about a half-inch underground. 
If possible, please give second choice of a variety, as 
unless advised to the contrary, whenever our stock of a 
variety is exhausted, we will make a substitution as near 
to color and habit as possible. 
Prices on roses are for dormant plants which we can 
furnish until about May 1st. After that time we can 
supply potted plants for June blooming. 
We do not recommend fall planting of roses for this 
latitude, as newly set plants must be well protected through 
the winter. 
HYBRID ROSES 
These will give an abundance of bloom from June until 
frost. They should be liberally fertilized every year and 
given some protection from the sun and frost during the 
winter.
