44 CHERRY HILL NURSERIES 

Roses 
Roses need no introduction—their exquisite form and 
fragrance are admired everywhere. But in our northern climate 
they must be selected with a thought for hardiness and vigor. 
Our purpose has been to collect those varieties which combine 
these qualities with the bright color effects desired for the 
garden. 
When planting dormant roses, the tops should be pruned 
back to about six inches, and planted so that the bud or crook 
just above the roots will be about an inch underground. It is 
best to shade the top until the first leaves appear. The failure 
of most roses is due to lack of moisture at this time. | 
For later planting in May and June, we recommend potted 
plants which are in leaf and oftentimes in bud or bloom. These 
will continue to bloom and a much longer season may be 
enjoyed. If possible please give a second choice of varieties 
so that we may substitute if our stock of a variety is exhausted. 
We do not recommend fall planting of roses for this latitude, 
as newly set plants must be well protected through the winter. 
HYBRID ROSES 
These will give an abundance of bloom from June until 
frost. They should be liberally fertilized every year and given 
some protection from the sun and frost during the winter.
