Daniels Beautiful Roses--The Queen of Flowers 
The rose still is No. 1 in the “Hit Parade”. of colorful and effective 
plants. It’s fragrant blooms with varying form and color are unsur- 
passed by other plants. Its desirability both as a cut flower and for 
garden and landscape effect makes it “tops” among dual-purpose 
plants. For the gardener who wants the finest blooms and is willing 
to give his rose garden extra care in preparation, maintainance and 
winter protection, the Hybrid Teas and Perpetuals will “fill the bill’. 
For accent plants in foundation plantings and shrub borders the “Es- 
kimo” and “Bush” roses are most Suitable. The latter with their 
shorter and more profuse season of bloom and interesting foliage tex- 
tures and colors and the former for all season blossom, variety of bloom 
color, variety of foliage and, in some varieties, interesting hips. 
Then for trellises or arbors there is no more delightful, fragrant and 
colorful covering than the climbing roses. We list below the varieties 
of each group of roses that we consider the most generally satisfac-

Rose Culture 
Roses delight in a warm location where they will receive plenty of sun- 
shine. They are at their best when not competing with larger plants for 
their moisture and light, The Rugosa Hybrids, however, seem 
under the ordinary competition of other plants in the shrub border. 
Any effort expended in making the soil rich will be generously rewarded 
with increase in both size and number of blooms. Roses, especially budded 
varieties, should be planted considerably deeper than they grew formerly. 
At planting they should be pruned back to two or three stems, with only

to do well 
four or five buds on each. The entire top should then be mounded up with 
dirt which should be left there until the buds start to sprout. A mulch of 
well rotted manure or peat on top ofthe soil will prove highly beneficial to 
the plants through the growing season. 
In subsequent years the roses, excepting the climbers and. the Rugosa 
Hybrids should be pruned back heavily each spring, cutting out any short . 
or spindly growth, or wood which shows winter injury, leaving each main 
shoot four to six inches long. Any shoots which come up from below the bud 
or graft should be cut away as fast as they appear. 
Climbing roses should not be pruned back severely. The Rugosas are not 
headed back as heavily as other bush roses alfhough they should receive: 
enough cutting each year to stimulate vigorous’ new shoots on which their 
flowers are borne. 
In late fall those bush roses which. require. protection should have the 
ground heaped up around the base of the plants 10 to 12 inches high. After 
freezing the tops are usually tied up w ith hay or straw and around this is 
piaced a. wrapping of weather resisting paper. To protect the climbers they 
should be laid flat on the ground and covered in a similar manner to the 
bush roses.
