An easy rule-of-thumb to determine 
the number of B. & A. Rose plants for a 
given area is to figure approximately two- 
thirds of the number of square feet if 
plants are spaced 15 to 16 inches apart 
each way. For example, a bed 3 feet 
wide and 6 feet long has an area of 18 
square feet and would take 12 Hybrid 
Tea plants; a bed 4 by 12 feet or 48 
square feet, would hold 32 plants. If 
plants are spaced 18 inches apart, the 
required number will be approximately 
one-half the total square-foot area, e.g., 
24 plants for a 48 square-foot area. 
A circular bed 6 feet in diameter, takes 
21 plants about 15 inches apart each way.

Your established Hy¬ 
brid Teas should be 
pruned to look this 
way every spring. 
The thicker canes 
in extra-strong va¬ 
rieties like the Radi¬

not be pruned back 
quite so far.
