A Rose Properly Pruned and Planted 
Planted Wrong—too Deep 
165 Climbers in 30 Sorts Make a Wonderful Sight in June 
Replanting our Cloverset Planted Roses is a very simple task 
indeed. After the permanent bed is located, and soil properly 
prepared as described in the following directions in this catalog, 
the hole, about 12 inches in diameter and of proper depth is dug, 
the Pot is removed from the Rose plant by slitting the pot with 
your pocket knife or peeling it off the ball of soil, and the plant 
is then set in the bed, without injury to the root system and 
consequently with no disturbance to the foliage or buds. 
Cloverset Planted Roses can be replanted in your Rose Garden 
any time during the growing season, spring, summer or fall, 
without even showing the slightest wilt to either foliage, buds or 
blooms. 
We will have here in our Rose Gardens at Cloverset Farm 
in May 131 different varieties, all growing and blooming in our 
Cloverset Pots. You are invited to visit our gardens any time 
and select your plants for your own garden, picking out our 
best and largest roses. 
You, your family and your friends are invited to visit our 
gardens any time during the summer and see the thousands 
of lovely Roses in full bloom at all times. 
DIRECTIONS 
For Replanting Planted or Potted Roses 
Replanting the planted Roses in our Cloverset Pots is very 
simple indeed. The Pots are removed from the plants and the 
ball of soil set in the bed so the soil level in the Pots is about 
one inch below the ultimate level of the soil in the bed. Always 
pack the soil tight around the roots of any kind of plants. This 
is done to force the air spaces out of the soil around the roots. 
After this a generous watering to thoroughly soak the soil down 
to the bottom roots is all that is necessary. 
NOTE 
During March and up to April 15th we can supply Dormant 
Roses in all the sorts listed in this catalog. As it is impossible 
to get root action to start and make plants grow after the days 
get warm we do not offer dormant stock after date mentioned 
above. During the dormant season we pay postal charges on 
all Roses sold. After April 15th, when planted Roses only are 
supplied, the transportation charges must be paid by purchaser. 
YOU ARE INVITED to visit our Rose Gardens any time and 
help us enjoy the beautiful blooms produced from May till No¬ 
vember by the 131 varieties of roses listed in this book. Come 
any time and come often. 
Directions for Planting Dormant Roses 
After the bed has been worked fine, each bush should be located 
and a hole dug large enough to accommodate the roots and deep 
enough that the crown, or bud, be one inch below the soil surface. 
After all the plants have been set, the bed is carefully and 
thoroughly watered. 
Watering is most important and the failure to do so properly 
is responsible for many failures with Roses. Remember the roots 
are twelve to eighteen inches below the soil surface, and it takes 
lots of water to soak the ground to that depth. 
We have found that in planting Dormant Roses, a protective 
covering over the canes for ten days to two weeks is very bene¬ 
ficial. The drying action of the sun and wind is thus prevented 
until the root action starts, when the covering is removed and 
full exposure to light and air is given. Burlap sacks, split, or 
canvas are good for this purpose or the soil may be hilled up 
around them.
