PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Few plants respond so readily to good care and culture as 
the rose. But few will survive under more adverse conditions. 
Or, though your bushes may grow, do not expect best results 
unless you would give them thought and care throughout the 
year. Our plants are packed well in damp moss to arrive in 
perfect condition for immediate planting. If not planted im- 
mediately the roots should be kept moist and stored in a cool 
place until planted. 
Select a place that has not less than one-half the day's sun, 
more or full sun is better. Dig the soil to a good depth to know 
that the plant will have good root room and that a layer of hard 
pan or tight earth does not exist just below the plant to hold 
water and injure the plants during the winter months. Enrich 
the soil with well rotted cow manure and sand if necessary to 
create a friable condition. Some clay in the soil is desirable 
for its mineral content, provided enough sand or humus are 
added to make the soil workable. 
Dig large holes, spaced at least 18-24 inches apart. Spread 
out the roots and fill in with loose earth. Run water in the 
holes while filling in to bring the soil in better and closer con- 
tact to the roots. Cut back tops to about 6 or 8 inches. Do not 
plant too deep. Plant only to the depth plant originally grew. 
During he growing season the plants should be fed with a 
good complete commercial fertilizer worked into the top soil 
around the plants. Small quantities monthly are best. First 
application for new plants should not be used until plants are 
in full and strong leaf and then only in very small amounts. 
Spray the plants regularly. Dry sulphur, containing about 
one-fifth arsenate of lead, to keep down the mildew. A nicotine 
or pyrethrum spray for aphis on the young shoots. Or if you 
prefer an all-around spray, we have found Triogen to give 
excellent results where it is used regularly about every ten 
days. 
Space does not permit more detailed instructions and only 
a general outline is intended. Your interest and good judg- 
ment are after all the most important factors and will pay you 
a thousand-fold for your every effort. 
CAUTION—Unpack plants immediately upon arrival and 
place in container of water overnight. Not longer. Plant out 
immediately if possible. If planting is done in the fall the 
plants may be left with their tops untrimmed until spring, at 
which time they should be cut back to not more than 6 or 8 
inches above the ground. Do not use any fertilizer at time of 
planting. See planting instructions.
