ROSE PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
CUT NO ROOTS! LEAVE ALL ROOTS ON. CUT NO ROOTS! 
Plant your roses as soon as received, providing the ground is not frozen too hard to 
receive them. Hard frozen ground is the only reason for not planting roses. The bushes 
do not mind cold or wet. 
When you open the bundle see that roots are kept moist. Do not expose them to 
drying winds or sun for a moment. Keep roots in a bucket of water during planting 
operations. Should the roses seem to be dried out through shipping delay soak them roots 
and tops in water for 72 hours. They may die if planted when they are dried out. 
Put no manute, trash or fertilizer in hole where bush is planted. It may cause root 
canker or burn the roots. Put only clean soil or subsoil on all sides of roots. This is 
VERY IMPORTANT. Do not ignore it. Never plant new rose bushes in soil from 
which old toses have been removed. Always change soil from a bed of annuals or 
similar source. 
A CONE OF SOIL must be made under the center of each plant, where the roots 
spread downward in all directions, to avoid an air pocket. Do not put your bushes in 
a flat trench or hole and try to force the center flat against the soil without this suppott. 
In planting make the hole or trench large and deep enough to accommodate all roots 
when spread out and down at an angle of 30 degrees. Plant the union of rose and 
understock well above soil level. The HIGHER THE UNION the healthier and longer 
lived your rose will be. 
TEN EXTRA MINUTES spent in planting each bush PROPERLY will give you 
enormously greater results in years to come. The big roots on my plants will work 
miracles if allowed to. 
With your bush placed work soil among roots, gradually firming it down until the 
hole is nearly full. Then trample firmly over your now well covered roots until you 
could not possibly pull up the bush with your hands. If you are planting in mud omit 
the tramping, but tamp soil firmly from time to time. 
Now fill the remainder of the hole with water, even though you are planting in mud, 
to carry earth down into air pockets that may be left and would cause roots in such 
pockets to decay instead of growing. Finish with a final layer of loose soil.
