BABY RAMBLER ROSES 
Baby Rambler. The original and best known in this class. About 
2 feet high with large clusters of small, double crimson blossoms. 
Ellen Poulsen. A splendid variety with gorgeous large flowers of 
bright rose-pink.

RUGOSA AND HYBRID RUGOSA ROSES 
The Roses in this group are all of great hardiness. The Rugosa 
wood is rough; foliage thick and leathery, rich dark green, healthy and 
persistant. Because we felt that they are more properly classified with 
the shrubs, we listed them among the shrubs, and we refer you to page 8. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES

Fragrant. 
F. K. Druschki. Large, snow white. Free bloomer. 
General Jacqueminot. Rich crimson-scarlet. Very fragrant.

Rose Culture 
PLANT — PRUNE — CULTIVATE 
Preparation of Rose Beds. Roses are heavy feeders and require 
a rich loam in which to produce their best. In preparing the bed, dig 
up the ground to a depth of 18 to 24 inches and replace about one-third 
of the bulk of the soil with well-rotted cow manure, or about one-fourth 
of well-rotted horse manure. Prepare the bed several weeks in advance 
of the planting. 
Pruning Before Planting. Roses planted should be cut back 
leaving but 2 or 3 stems with 4 or 5 buds on each. Cut away all broken 
or bruised branches. 
Planting. Plant Roses as soon as they are received. Dig a hole in 
the bed large enough to receive all the roots without crowding, and set 
the plants so that the junction of the roots and tops will be just about 
even with the surface of the soil when leveled off. Tamp it firmly and 
soak thoroughly with water. Plant Roses 15 to 18 inches apart. After 
the Rose has been planted, mound the dirt over the tops to a height of 
about 15 inches and see that this mound is thoroughly soaked with 
water. Leave this mound on for about ten days; then gradually remove.
