Rose-planting Time 
Don’t wait for warm spring weather but plant dormant 
Roses as soon as frost leaves the ground. Cold weather later 
in spring will do no harm to our hardy Roses, once they are 
set in the ground. But please do not wait until the last minute 
to order Roses and other plants from this catalogue and expect 
the prompt and efficient service that can be given to the 
early orders. 
“Started” Roses in large pots are for late May and 
June planting.
