How We Plant and Care for Our 
Roses at Fairport Display Gardens 
Get your rose bed ready before your new plants arrive. Choose 
a spot that is protected from strong winds and get at least half a 
day of full sun. At our Fairport Rose Gardens, where we are making 
an entire new bed, we shovel all the dirt out to a depth of 18 inches. 
Then we put 4 inches of Peat Moss in the bottom of the bed, add 
Bonemeal, 10 lbs. to 40 sq. ft., and spade up deeply with a spading 
fork. We mix the soil we have taken out of the bed with one-third 
Peat Moss, and shovel it back into the bed. We are then ready for 
our roses. If we are spotting plants in an existing bed, we dig an 
individual hole about 14 inches in diameter for each plant, treating 
the soil the same as above. Don't expose the roots of the roses 
while you are planting, to the sun or wind. Keep them covered 
always. When planting in the spring prune the tops of the plants 
to stand about 6 inches above the ground, leaving at least three eyes. Trim off any 
broken or cracked roots. Set Hybrid Tea roses 15 inches apart, larger growing kinds 18 to 
24 inches. Spread the roots carefully. Pack the dirt around them snugly. When hole is 
three-quarters filled with soil, soak with water; when water has disappeared fill balance 
of hole with soil not packed down hard. See diagram of depth to plant. At Fairport we 
feed the plants every 14 days, using 2 ounces of a complete plant food per plant until 
September 1. We dust or spray every week, one week with a fungicide for Black Spot 
and Mildew, the next week with an insecticide for eating and sucking insects. In June 
we cover our beds with an inch of Shredded Tobacco or Peat Moss. 
WINTER PROTECTION 
Just before the first hard freeze in the fall we cut our plants down to about 18 inches, 
remove the mulch of Shredded Tobacco or Peat Moss that might harbor Black Spot over 
winter, spray or dust them with a fungicide, and hill them up with 6 inches of soil. After 
the ground has frozen we cover them with straw, corn stalks or leaves. In the spring we 
remove this litter, and level the soil, trim our plants to 6 inches and 3 eyes, and start 
our regular feeding and spraying program. This method of culture has been very successful 
with us at our Fairport Trial Grounds. We believe it will help you with your rose growing.
