How to Plant and Care for Roses 
Get your Rose bed ready before your new plants arrive. Choose a spot that is protected from strong 
winds and gets at least half a day of full sun. When making an entire new bed, shovel all the dirt to a 
depth of 24 inches. Then put 4 inches of Peat Moss in the bottom of the bed, add Bone Meal, 10 Ibs. to 
40 square feet, and spade up deeply with a spading fork. Mix the soil taken out of the bed with one-third 
Peat Moss, and shovel it back into the bed. No doubt the soil will settle from 2 to 4 inches; allow for this. 
You are then ready for our.Roses. If spotting piants in an existing bed, dig an individual hole about 14 
inches in diameter for each plant, treating the soil the same as above. Don’t expose the roots of the Roses 
to the sun or wind while you are planting. Keep them covered always. When planting in the spring, prune 
the tops of the plants to stand about 6 inches above the ground, leaving at least three eyes. Trim off any 
broken or cracked roots. Set Hybrid Tea Roses 15 inches apart, larger growing kinds 18 to 24 inches. 
Spread the roots carefully. Pack the dirt around them snugly. When hole is three-quarters filled with soil, 
soak with water; when water has disappeared, fill balance of hole with soil not packed down hard. See 
diagram of depth to plant. Feed the plants every 14 days, using 2 ounces of a complete plant food per 
plant until September Ist. Dust or spray every week, one week with a fungicide for black spot and mildew, 
the next week an insecticide for eating and sucking insects. In June cover beds with an inch of Shredded 
Tobacco or Peat Moss to hold the moisture. 
















WINTER PROTECTION 
Just before the first hard freeze in the fall, 
cut plants down to about 18 inches, remove the 
mulch of Shredded Tobacco or Peat Moss that 
might harbor black spot over winter, spray or 
dust them with a fungicide, and hill them up 
with 6 inches of soil. After the ground has 
frozen, cover them with straw, corn stalks or 
leaves. In the spring remove this litter, and 
level the soil, trim plant to 6 inches and three 
eyes, and start regular feeding and spraying 
program. This method of culture has been very 
successful. We believe it will help you with 
your Rose growing.
