Hallawell's Roses 
' HALLAWELL’S SELECT ROSES are a selected No. 1 grade. They are grown under soil and climatic condi- 
tions suitable for production of vigorous bushes which will grow to strong sturdy plants. There are four commer- 
cial grades of roses and Hallawell’s Select Roses are selected first grade. Bush Roses will bloom freely the first 
year, while climbing varieties often require two years or more to bloom profusely. 
_ Bare root bush and climbing varieties are usually ready for delivery in December if weather conditions permit 
digging. They are available during January, February and March or until the bare root supply is exhausted. 
PLANTING—Before planting dormant roses, remove the small branches and cut back the large ones to 5 or 6 
inches, leaving an outside bud at the top. Plant to a depth where the bud-union will be just below the surface and 
pack the soil well around the roots, leaving no air spaces. Well-rotted manure and bone meal or other suitable fer- 
tilizer may be placed on the surface as a mulch after planting. 
SPRAYING—To prevent and control mildew, and to destroy aphis and scale, spray periodically with a fungicide 
and an insecticide. A good combination which may be used together in one spraying, is a solution containing 
1 tablespoon of Acme Kopper Queen, and 3 tablespoons of Acme Emo-Nik, to one gallon of water. 
PRUNING ROSES 
Pruning should be done during the dormant season, usually from December to February. In general, weak growing 
varieties may be pruned more severely than stronger varieties. Pruning operations may be divided into three classes: 
Severe—Thin out all but 3 to 5 canes, and cut these back to leave 2 or 3 eyes on each cane. 
Medium—Thin out all but 4 to 6 canes, and cut back to 3 to 4 eyes each. 
Light—Thin out all but 4 to 7 canes and cut back to 5 or 6 eyes. 
Obviously the more severe pruning reduces the number of flowers, but improves the quality. In shortening canes, 
always cut to an outside bud, and the cut should be 4 
inch above the bud. This tends to broaden the bush and pre- 
vents dense center growth. In removing canes or laterals entirely, use sharp shears, and make a smooth clean cut 
as close as possible to the older wood from which it springs. A clean cut will heal smoothly, while a stub may de- 
cay and cause injury. 
Climbing Roses require little pruning. At most the 
laterals on main canes may be shortened to 3 or 4 eyes, and 
other brush removed to keep the top within bounds. Old canes may be replaced by new ones growing from the 
base of the plant, if it seems desirable. 
Cutting the Flowers—Cutting roses with long stems is desirable, and is in effect summer pruning. Cut the stems 
to within 2 or 3 eyes of the main lateral, and follow the same procedure with the flowers which have been permitted 
to remain on the bush, as soon as they have faded. Also remove small branches and brush growth in July when 
the rose garden is fertilized, to improve the fallecrop:
