that gets at least half a day of full sun. Dig the rose bed to a depth of 
18 to 24 inches. If your soil is poor, 
it in the bottom 12 inches. Also some peat moss to improve the texture. 
Remember that roses want plenty of water but GOOD DRAINAGE. 
Be sure water will not stand in rose bed as roses do not want ‘‘wet feet’’. 
When your roses arrive, keep roots well covered. Do not expose them 
to the sun or wind, as they will dry out. Before planting, trim off any 
damaged or broken roots. Spread roots out well. DO NOT CROWD

of hole with soil. Firm but do not pack down hard. Trim tops of the 
plants to 6 to 12 inches, leaving at least three eyes on each branch. 
During the growing season, plants should be fed on an average of once 
mix some well rotted manure with
