Hallawell's Roses 
HALLAWELL’S SELECT ROSES are a selected No. 1 grade. They are grown under soil and climatic conditions suit' 
able for production of vigorous bushes which will grow to strong sturdy plants. There are four commercial grades of roses 
and Hallawell's Select Roses are selected first grade. Bush Roses will bloom freely the first year, while climbing varieties 
often require two years or more to bloom profusely. 
Bare root bush and climbing varieties are usually ready for delivery in December if weather conditions permit digging. 
They are available during January, February and March or until the bare root supply is exhausted. 
PLANTING—Before planting dormant roses, remove the small branches and cut back the large ones to 5 or 6 inches, 
leaving an outside bud at the top. Plant to a depth where the bud'union will be just below the surface and pack the soil well 
around the roots, leaving no air spaces. WelLrotted manure and bone meal or other suitable fertilizer may be placed on the 
surface as a mulch after planting. 
SPRAYING—-To prevent and control mildew, and to destroy aphis and scale, spray periodically with a fungicide and 
an insecticide. A good combination which may be used together in one spraying, is a solution containing 6 tablespoons of 
Acme Kopper Queen, and 3 tablespoons of Acme Emo'Nik, to one gallon of water. 
PRUNING ROSES 
Pruning should be done during the dormant season, usually from December to February. In general weak growing 
varieties may be pruned more severely than stronger varieties. Pruning operations may be divided into three classes: 
Severe—Thin out all but 3 to 5 canes, and cut these back to leave 2 or 3 eyes on each cane. 
Medium—Thin out all but 4 to 6 canes, and cut back to 3 to 4 eyes each. 
Light—Thin out all but 4 to 7 canes and cut back to 5 or 6 eyes. 
Obviously the more severe pruning reduces the number of flowers, but improves the quality. In shortening canes, always 
cut to an outside bud, and the cut should be inch above the bud. This tends to broaden the bush and prevents dense 
center growth. In removing canes or laterals entirely, use sharp shears, and make a smooth clean cut as close as possible 
to the older wood from which it springs. A clean cut will heal smoothly, while a stub left may decay and cause injury. 
Climbing Roses require little pruning. At most the laterals on main canes may be shortened to 3 or 4 eyes, and other 
brush removed to keep the top within bounds. Old canes may be replaced by new ones growing from the base of the 
plant, if it seems desirable. 
Cutting the Flowers—Cutting roses with long stems is desirable, and is in effect summer pruning. Cut the stems to 
within 2 or 3 eyes of the main lateral, and follow the same procedure with the flowers which have been permitted to remain 
on the bush, as soon as they have faded. Also remove small branches and brush growth in July when the rose garden is 
fertilized, to improve the fall crop.
