SELECT FIELD CROWN ROSES 
ROSES, Select Garden Favorites 
Probably no other class of ornamentals give as much value as do roses. Often the first season’s 
bloom more than repays for the time and money expended. The following list includes the best 
kinds recommended by the rose specialists of the country. In planting, select a sunny location and dig 
soil deeply, giving good drainage. Roses are heavy feeders, hence they should have rich soil. Well 
rotted manure or bone meal are good to use. Be sure to pack the soil down tight about the roots in 
planting. Everbloomers may be set i8 inches apart. Hybrid Perpetuals 2 ft. apart. Protect roses over 
winter by either mounding up each plant with soil or by covering the beds at least 6 inches with leaves 
or straw manure, binding the top with branches or stalks. Our roses are all 2 year stock, field 
grown, that will bloom the first season.

white. State colors 
wanted. 
Roses are among the 
showiest and best 
plants for decorating 
the home grounds.
