CARE OF TREE ROSES 
Plant in spring and stake securely, tying them with strips of rubber or 
cloth to prevent chafing the stems, and then treat the crown like any 
Hybrid Tea. 
PRUNING: Cut back the crowns of freshly planted Standards to 3 or 
4 eyes. Subsequent pruning consists of cutting back the past season’s 
growth to 3 or 4 eyes. 
WINTER PROTECTION: Cut the plant away from the stake, then 
bend the stem slowly till the head rests on the ground. Loosening the 
roots with a digging fork, on the side opposite from that in which the 
plant is to be bent, will allow the bending to be done without too much 
strain. Drive a stake in at the neck and tie securely, then cover the head 
with soil. Protect stem by wrapping in burlap or paper.
