HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
Rose-beds should be prepared in advance of the arrival of the 
plants.

Roses require sun, at least half of the day. Protection from 
strong winds is also desirable. The beds should be ple aced where 
the soil is naturally well drained, or drainage should be provided. 
The soil should be good garden loam. If it is poor, remove the top 
8 to 10 inches, spade up the bottom, mixing in some good manure, 
and replace the top portion with good top-soil, letting it settle well 
before planting. 
The Roses should be planted about 12 to 15 inches apart each 
way, varying the distance somewhat, depending on the vigor and 
spread of the varieties selected. 






All Roses should be planted as soon as received. But the bundles 
can usually be kept intact for a week, if kept in a cool, dark place. 
If delayed in planting for more than one week, remove the plants 
from the bundles, and hill them in carefully in a shady and moist 
place, until wanted. 
In planting in the fall, no pruning is necessary, but cutting 
back to 6 to 8 inches can do no harm. Immediately after planting, 
hill the soil around each plant for at least 6 inches. 
In planting in the spring, trim the branches back to 4 to 5 
inches. If planting late in the spring, when it is warm, and it often 
is after the middle of April, hill the soil up slightly and keep the 
plants shaded from the sun for several weeks, and water well each 
day. 
Full planting directions are sent with each shipment, and one 
should read them carefully before proceeding with the job.
