HOW TO GROW ROSES 
Roses need plenty of sun and good rich soil. 
We have found that they do better if planted 
in beds. The rose bed should be top dressed 
with 2 to 3 inches of cattle or sheep manure, 
and add a cup full of bone meal to each plant 
then spade under the whole works to a depth 
of 10 to 12 inches, then set the roses. Plant 
12 to 18 inches apart and 3 to 5 inches deeper 
than they grew in the nursery. 
Roses need to be sprayed often and regularly 
every 10 days with BLACK LEAF 40. Use 1 
oz. to 5 gallons water and add 1% pound 
BORDEAUX MIXTURE. This spray will 
control bugs and leaf spot. 
Keep the rose bed well cultivated. Also 
keep all the old bloom picked off. 
Late in the fall after the leaves are off the 
EVERBLOOMING ROSES (only) should be 
cut back to within 6 to 8 inches of the ground 
and covered with soil. Mound the soil up as 
high as possible. In the early spring remove 
the mound of soil and give the bed a good top 
dressing of manure. 
PLANT ROSES EARLY 
Roses Bara during the 
month of April do much bet- 
ter, and should bloom within 
60 days from time of planting.
