HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
Rose-beds should be prepared in advance of the arrival ol the plants. 
Roses require sun, at least hall ot the day. Protection from strong 
winds is also desirable. The beds should be placed where the soil is 
naturally well drained, or drainage should be provided. 1 he soil should 
be good garden loam. II it is poor, remove the top 8 to 10 inches, 
spade up the bottom, mixing in some good manure, and replace the 
top portion with good top-soil, letting it settle well before planting. 
The Roses should be planted about 12 to 15 inches apart each way, 
varying the distance somewhat, depending on the vigor and spread 
of the varieties selected. 
All Roses should be planted as soon as received. But the bundles 
can usually be kept intact for a week, if kept in a cool, dark place- 
If delayed in planting for more than one week, remove the plants from 
the bundles, and hill them in carefully in a shady and moist place, 
until wanted. 
In planting in the fall, no prunirg is necessary, but cutting 
back to 6 to 8 inches can do no harm. Immediately after planting, 
hill the soil around each plant for at least 6 inches. 
In planting in the spring, trim the branches back to 4 to 5 inches. 
If planting late in the spring, when it is warm, and it often is after the 
middle of April, hill the soil up slightly and keep the plants shaded 
from the sun for several weeks, ard water well each day. 
Full planting directions are sent with each shipment, and one 
should read them carefully before proceeding with the job.
