WATERER’S Garden Roses 
Planting. We recommend spring planting of 2-year-old stock 
that has been prepared far in advance by being potted up in the fall 
and carried through the winter in coldframes. These plants have an 
active, fibrous root-system and are shipped during the month of May. 
They are in bud at all times during the season and ready to begin 
blooming at once. The ball of earth surrounding the roots should be 
planted 3 inches below the surface of the soil and thoroughly watered.
