HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Cole’s Roses have the reputation of being the best that it is possible to their exceptional quality. Good gardeners invariably are not interested 
produce. They will give the kind of results every flower lover is looking for. in lowpriced offers, which mean inferior quality that must prove disappointing 
The prices at which these Roses are offered are very reasonable, considering in the end. 
Care and Culture of Roses 
Unpack your Roses immediately. You will find 
them cut back a little. Cut them back to within 
6 to 8 inches of the union and plant them so that 
the union (or bud) is just below the surface of the 
ground. Hill dirt up into and around the plant to 
a height of 8 inches. This will protect the lower 
eyes on the canes from becoming dried out. After 
a period of two weeks (the roots have then become 
established), remove the dirt. Be sure to have your 
ground prepared before your Roses arrive. Never 
work clay soil when it is in a muddy condition. 
Many of our customers prefer fall planting of 
Roses, which has been proved to be just as satis¬ 
factory as spring planting. In this case much the 
same procedure is followed, except that you do not 
cut back the Roses at the time of planting, but 
mound up the soil about the plant to the height 
of 12 inches, and, with the approach of freezing 
weather, cover the entire bed with a light mulch of 
straw, leaves or cut grass for additional protection. 
Early in the spring, before growth starts, remove 
the mulch and level down the hills, cut out all weak 
shoots, and cut back the main shoots to within 
6 to 8 inches of the ground, or to sound wood.
