S.N.& S.CO’S PEERLESS HARDY ROSES 

STRONG TWO-YEAR-OLD POTTED PLANTS 
FOR THE COLD NORTHWEST 
We are continuing our most satisfactory custom of offering only 
started pot grown Roses (unless otherwise noted). While this 
makes the price a trifle higher compared with dormant stock, it 
affords our customers a better stock, quicker blooms and far more 
satisfaction. Our 2-year-old field grown roses are put in pots in 
January and grown in cool greenhouses. By May they are in full 
leaf, possibly showing buds, and the roots are well established in 
a_ball of soil. Planting is easy and there is no check in growth. 
We ship at the proper planting time.

WINTERING ROSES. After the first good heavy frost, bundle the branches together, cut them back 
to about 18 to 20 inches, mound earth around the plants up to 6 or 8 inches, or higher if practical, spread 
manure in the hollows between plants. Later on, When the ground is frozen, add a covering of leaves, 
straw, salt, hay or cornstalks to keep the sround frozen and as a protection against sun and wind. In the 
Spring, remove covering a little at a time, first straw or leaves, then the coarse part of the manure, and 
finally level the soil when danger of hard spring frosts is past. s ; 
Climbers winter well if taken down from their Support and laid flat on the ground where they can be 
covered with earth or heavy straw.

CULTURAL HINTS 
WATERING. Roses like plenty of water. Flood the beds 
once a week by placing the hose on the bed and letting it run 
slowly so that water may reach deep to the roots. Avoid wet- 
ting the foliage, especially in the evening. 
SPENT BLOOMS should be removed, cutting the stem above 
the first complete set of five leaves. If long-stemmed blooms 
are desired for cutting, remove old flowers so that two sets of 
leaves remain on the stalk. The next crop of blooms will spring 
from these eyes, 
FERTILIZERS. Roses are heavy feeders and as our Pot 
Roses are established when you get them they will respond to 
a “complete” fertilizer, such as Vigoro or Stim-U-Plant about 
30 days after planting. Apply very lightly (a teaspoonful per 
plant) but often, and water liberally after each application.
