Plant Ramsey’s Reliable Everblooming Roses 
Our roses are the best that scientific propagation can produce. 
Budded on hardy, 
adapted root stocks, they give maximum of growth and bloom. There is a secret about 
planting roses. 
The plants should be set about two inches deeper than they stood in 
nursery, tops then cut back to about five inches above ground, and soil mounded up on 
stems almost to the tips. 
Always give plenty of water, so as to reach down to the 
roots, and then place dry soil over the wet to prevent baking in the sun. 
For best growth and flowering, old plants should be cut back half way in February, 
and about one-third in August every year. 
If shoots come from below ground the first year, cut them off. 
As with all plants, the soil around roses should be kept stirred and loose on top 
of ground about two inches deep. 
CAUTION: Do not dig or spade the soil deeper, 
as so doing will cut the roots and seriously injure plants. 
Most varieties of Bush Roses are everblooming. 
strictly everblooming. 
USE COPPERAS. In black soil and all soils heavy with lime, 
No variety of Climbing Rose is 
copperas is essen- 
tial for best results. See “WHEN LEAVES TURN YELLOW,” page 31.
