WIGHT'S Georgia-Grown ROSES 
ECAUSE of the mild Southern 
|e and favorable soils, 
Roses thrive under our sunny 
skies and are lavish in displaying 
colorful blooms, and spreading fra- 
grance abroad. 
* * * 
In spring the Rose-lover eagerly 
looks for the first sign of growth; 
then impatiently waits until the 
swelling buds burst into full bloom. 
From then until hot midsummer his 
garden is a mass of color. When 
cooler days and nights of autumn 
come the plants give a second season 
of bloom, and then the reds seem to 
be brighter, the pinks richer, and 
the yellows more golden than earlier 
in the year. Truly Roses are the 
supreme flowers for the Southland. 
* * * 
Roses may be planted safely in 
fall or spring, but we prefer fall 
planting if the gardener can get the 
ground ready. In the fall the plants 
are dormant, yet full of the vigor 
stored up in summer; they can be 
moved without difficulty, and the 
roots will at once begin to draw 
food from the soil, storing it until 
spring’s warm days call the plant 
into growth.

PLANTING DIRECTIONS: Dig a large hole, making it deep, so 
that the plant will set 3 to 4 inches deeper than it stood in the nursery; 
in the bottom put a little bone-meal or well-rotted manure, covering 
with an inch or more of soil; cut off broken or damaged roots, then 
set the plants, separating and spreading the roots carefully; gradually 
fill in the soil, packing it tight around the roots; when the hole is about 
half filled pour in three or four quarts of water, Jet it settle and then 
Each fall or spring give the Rose-bed a good 
application of plant-food—Vigoro, bone-meal, or well-rotted manure. 
A mulch of peat moss is of value during hot weather as it conserves 
moisture and keeps the roots cool,
