How to Plant and Care for Roses 
Get your Rose bed ready before your new plants arrive. Choosé a spot that is protected from 
strong winds and gets at least half a day of full sun. When making an entire new bed, shovel 
out all the dirt to a depth of 24 inches. Then put 4 inches of Peat Moss in the bottom of the bed, 
add Bone Meal, 10 Ibs. to 40 square feet, and spade up deeply with a spading fork. Mix the soil 
taken out of the bed with one-third Peat Moss, and shovel it back into the bed. No doubt the 
soil will. settle from 2 to 4 inches; allow for this. You are then ready for our Roses. If spotting 
plants in an existing bed, dig an individual hole about 14 inches in diameter for each plant, 
treating the soil the same as above. Don’t expose the roots of the Roses to the sun or wind 
while you are planting. Keep them covered always. When planting in the spring, prune the tops 
of the plants to stand about 6 inches above the ground, leaving at least three eyes. Trim off 
any broken or cracked roots. Set Hybrid Tea Roses 15 inches apart, larger growing kinds 18 to 
24 inches. Spread the roots carefully. Pack the dirt around them snugly. When hole is three- 
quarters filled with soil, soak with water; when water has disappeared, fill balance of hole with 
soil not packed down hard. See diagram of depth to plant. Feed the plants every 14 days, using 
2 ounces of a complete plant food per plant until September Ist. Dust or spray every week, one 
week with a fungicide for black spot and mildew, the next week an insecticide for eating and 
sucking insects. In June cover beds with an inch of Shredded Tobacco or Peat Moss to hold 
the moisture.

WINTER PROTECTION 
Just before the first hard freeze in 
the fall, cut plants down to about 18 
inches, remove the mulch of Shredded 
Tobacco or Peat Moss that might har- 
bor black spot over winter, spray or 
dust them with a fungicide, and hill 
them up with 6 inches of soil. After the 
ground has frozen, cover them with 
straw, corn stalks or leaves. In the 
spring remove this litter, and level the 
soil, trim plant to 6 inches and three 
eyes, and start regular feeding and 
spraying program. This method of cul- 
ture has been very successful. We be- 
lieve it will help you with your Rose 
growing.
