B. & A. ROSE FOOD MAKES ROSES BLOOM 
STANDARD OR TREE ROSES 
The following Standards are 3*/2 feet high, all on Rugosa stems, $3.50 each, $30 for 10 
W HEN buying Tree Roses, please give us your 
color preferences in addition to the names of 
varieties so we can fill your order without delay 
through correspondence during our rush seasons. Our 
past experience proves that patrons are well satisfied 
when substitution as to color is necessary. Tree Roses 
in all nurseries are never in surplus. 
While we grow hundreds of well-shaped Tree Roses, 
it is rather difficult to maintain a complete supply in 
varieties as here listed. The selling season is no sooner 
under way than certain kinds become sold out, although 
many others in very similar colors are still available.

Plant in spring and stake securely, 
tying them with strips of rubber or 
cloth to prevent chafing the stems, 
and then treat the crown like any 
Hybrid Tea. 
Pruning: Cut back the crowns of 
freshly planted Standards to 3 or 4 
eyes. Subsequent pruning consists 
of cutting back the past season’s 
growth to 3 or 4 eyes. 
Winter Protection: Cut the 
plant away from the stake, then 
bend the stem slowly till the head 
rests on the ground. Loosening the 
roots with a digging-fork, on the 
side opposite from that in which the plant is to be bent, will allow the bending 
to be done without too much strain. Drive a stake in at the neck and tie securely, 
then cover the head with soil. It is not necessary to cover the stem. 
All Standard or Tree Roses are shipped by Express only. Packing and shipping 
charges are paid by the customer, but the large box necessary to accommodate the 
Tree Roses can easily take other Roses or shrubs without adding to the cost.
