This diagram shows how your roses, grapes and shrubs 
of all kinds should be planted. Look at it carefully. See 
how the canes are cut back and mounded over with soil. 
See how far below the surface of the soil the crown of 
the plant is set. Plant your roses just as this diagram 
shows, and they will be sure to grow and blossom freely. 
The real secret of success when planting roses and 
shrubs is: First, to cut back the tops severely; Second, 
tc water the plant thoroughly, and Third, to cover the 
newly set plants with a mound of soil. Do not expose 
their roots to sun or wind to dry out. 
Prune all the canes so that not more than four (4) buds 
remain on a cane. This is very important. 
Shorten roots a little, making a smooth cut at the end 
of each root. 
Dig your holes at least 6 inches wider than the widest 
spread of the roots, and deep enough to let the plant well 
down in the hole. 
Put in the plant and half fill the hole with top soil. 
Do not use manure. Tramp the soil down hard, then pour 
in four gallons of water; twenty-four hours after this has 
seeped away, finish filling the hole. 
Next draw up the mound of soil, cover the bush fully 
6 to 10 inches high. This will bury the bush completely 
and protect the canes from drying out before growth 
begins. 
Allow the mound of soil to remain until the new growth 
has pushed through it fully six inches, then hoe the mound 
down gradually.
