WINTERING ROSES. After the first good heavy frost, bundle the branches together, cut them back 
to about 18 to 20 inches, mound earth around the plants up to 6 to 8 inches, or higher if practical, spread 
manure in the hollows between plants. Later on, when the ground is frozen, add a covering of leaves, 
straw, salt, hay or cornstalks to keep the ground frozen and as a protection against sun and wind. In the 
spring, remove covering a little at a time, first straw or leaves, then the coarse part of the manure, and 
finally level the soil when danger of hard spring frosts is past. 
Climbers winter well if taken down from their support and laid flat on the ground where they can be 
covered with earth or heavy straw. 




CULTURAL HINTS 
WATERING. Roses like plenty of water. Flood the beds 
once a week by placing the hose on the bed and letting it run 
slowly so that water may reach deep to the roots. Avoid wet- 
ting’ the foliage, especially in the evening. 
SPENT BLOOMS should be removed, cutting the stem above 
the first complete set of five leaves. If long-stemmed blooms 
are desired for cutting, remove old flowers so that two sets of 
leaves remain on the stalk. The next crop of blooms will spring 
from these eyes. 
FERTILIZERS. No fertilizer of any nature should be applied 
the first year of planting. Roots are not yet in condition to 
consume it, and it may do a great deal of harm to young fib- 
rous roots which have to be formed after transplanting. Later 
a “complete” fertilizer, such as Vigoro or Stim-U-Plant is pre- 
ferable. Apply very lightly (a teaspoonful per plant) but 
often, and water liberally after each application.
