Bring your garden up-to-date with these New Roses 

Michel's Hardy Garden Roses 
The Roses we are offering are all strong, 2-year field-grown 
plants that were dug last fall and potted mto 6-inch pots, then 
stored in coldframes without any artificial heat. I 
latter part of March these potted plants are moved to beds in 
the open air where they receive no further protection. Under this 
treatment they develop m a natural way and are not only superior 
to stock which has been developed into full growth under glass, 
but also better for spring planting than plants which have been 
carried in cellars, in cold storage, or kept dormant in any other 
way until planting-time in Iate April or May. Roses thrive best 
m an airy position where they can have light shade during part 
of the day, but not near enough to trees and shrubs whose roots 
would rob them of food and moisture. Roses are gross feeders and 
During the 
consequently require a rich soil. Select a well-drained position 
where the soil is good and dig in a liberal amount of well-decom- 
posed manure, thoroughly mixing it with the soil. For best results, 
the beds should not be too wide; plant the Hybrid Teas 15 to 
18 inches apart and the stronger-growing Hybrid Perpetuals 
2 feet apart, planting all about 8 to 10 inches from the edge of 
the beds. The pot-grown plants we send out have already been 
pruned and arrive with a ball of earth around the roots; this ball 
should not be disturbed but should be thoroughly wet when 
planted. Budded Roses should be planted so that the bud is 
not over 2 inches below the surface of the ground; firm the soil 
well around the roots and give a thorough watering. Throughout 
the summer the surface of the bed should be cultivated.
