GROWING GOOD ROSES 
F The beds ought not be more than 4 feet wide, and 
the soil should be rich. Avoid making the ground 
loose or spongy. The stiffer and.harder the soil in 
the lower layers of the bed, the better Roses grow. 
Old sods, decayed cow-manure, bone meal, and 
commercial dried sheep manure are good fertilizers. 
Keep the surface of the Rose-beds well cultivated. 
Plant Hybrid Tea Roses 1% feet apart. More 
vigorous types need more space. Set the ‘‘bud”’ or 
**graft’’ at least 1 inch beneath the surface. Spread

out the fine roots carefully and tamp the soil firmly 
about them. It is well to tread the soil hard about 
the roots. Loose planting is fatal. ; 
Dormant Roses should be pruned in the spring. 
Remove weak and dead wood, and shorten the goo 
canes to 6 inches. Ramblers of the Dorothy Perkins 
type should have the old canes cut out at the base 
as soon as they are through blooming. Other Climb- 
ers require little pruning; simply remove dead wood 
and an occasional old cane as new ones appear.
