Climbing. Roser 
A climbing rose in bloom is delightful to behold. The profusion of flowers in red, pink, 
yellow or white with the background of green foliage is striking. Climbing roses need the 
support of a trellis of some kind. In the fall the canes should be taken from the trellis, 
laid upon the ground and covered with about a foot of marsh hay and over that a layer of 
water proof paper to shed moisture.

summer until frost. The size of the bush makes it especially

HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
Ist. Dig a hole so large the roots 
won’t be cramped. 

2nd. Place plant depth shown. Fill hole 
nearly to top with rich soil. Water thor- 
oughly to firmly settle soil. 
3rd. Trim plant to about 7 or 8 inches 
in height as picture shows. 
4tn. Cover entire top of the plant with 
a mound of loose soil about 9 inches 
high. 
5th. In about two weeks pull a little 
of the loose soil away to observe if buds 
are bursting open. If buds are opening, 
carefully pull away the mound of loose 
soil. If buds are still dormant leave the 
mound of soil until buds are observed to 
burst open, then remove mound. 
WINTER COVERING—Cover for winter 
this same way and over the mound place 
about a foot of marsh hay, then a layer 
of building paper.
