How to Plant Roses For Best Results 
If good stock is planted there will be few failures in growing Roses if the plants are properly and 
carefully planted. Growing Roses however, is a different proposition from growing Geraniums and 
every reasonable care should be employed that will help to promote the highest degreie of success. 
These are the reasons why we go into these details here. When your Roses arrive do not allow the 
shipment to lay around unopened. Unpack the plants at once and soak thnm tops as well as roots, 
over night in a tub of water so they will take up 
as much moisture as possible. In preparing the 
holes for the plants be sure to provide plenty of 
room for the roots; do not cramp them nor wind 
them around in a ball; spread them out, cover 
carefully with a little soil and work this down 
around each root to avoid air pockets. But before 
this is done mix up a fairly thick mud batter in a 
pail, dip the roots in this and then set the plants 
in the holes prepared for them. Gradually fill the 
holes with soil to within a couple inches of the top, 
pressing it down firmly and well, then give as much 
water as the soil will take up and complete the 
planting by filling in the last couple of inches with 
unmoistened soil which you will leave loose in order 
to retard evaporation. Another excellent plan that 
many gardners use is to fold a double thickness of 
newspaper in funnel form around each plant, tieing 
it loosely at the ground and leaving it open grad¬ 
ually upward. This is removed after growth starts 
and is used to temporarily protect the plants from 
the sun and wind until they have started growth. 
Be sure to set the plants deeply enough; just a 
little deeper than they show they originallv stood 
in the nursery rows. Get the bud or graft of each 
plant underground. A mulch for summer around 
the plants will be of value. You can use peat moss, 
ground tobacco stems or even lawn clippings. By 
following these few simple planting instructions you 
should be assured of abundant success and a real 
■crop of fine Roses within just a few weeks after 
the plants have gone into your garden. Roses have 
been truly called the “Queens of the Garden.” If 
you plant them liberally you should be well repaid 
in the pleasure and satisfaction they will bring.
