“HOW TO GROW ROSES” 
Consider these simple instructions and you will have little 
difficulty in growing beautiful Roses. Sunny location so that 
it gets sunshine at least part of the day. The soil should be 
clean and mellow with fertilizer well worked in, rotted manure 
being best. The plants should be unpacked as soon as they 


are received, and planted. If you are unable to plant imme- Sees LISS 
diately upon receiving them, they should be heeled in, (buried) Racce 2 AAP \

roots may be spread out naturally. Make sure that all the 
fibrous roots are firmly packed by shifting and tamping. Be sure to 
thoroughly soak the fresh planting, and never allow it to dry out or 
the soil to cake. After planting and wetting, mound up the soil four 
or five inches high around each plant. Cut off all the branches about 
an inch above the ground, leaving it this way for ten days or two 
weeks or until the buds start to show. The soil can then be leveled 
off. Roses that are handled in this manner rarely fail to grow. If Roses 
are planted with the tops left exposed to the drying winds they will 
shrivel and die before they start to grow. Allow 18 to 24 inches of 
space between plants. 
Roses like a lot of moisture but will not stand water standing 
around the roots, so make sure that drainage is provided beneath 
the bed. « 
For insect attacks by aphis (green lice), etc., use any of the good 
standard sprays applied according to directions on the package. 
Rugosa Roses are used the same way as shrubs.
