You can enjoy success with roses if you 
follow a few simple rules. Any good, well- 
_ drained soil will do. While roses need lots 
of water, they must have good drainage, 
_ for water must not stand around the roots. 
hey will not get too much water if they 
ave good drainage. A location that as- 
ures them of at least half a day of sun- 
ine is necessary. They will not thrive 
in illustration at right, is just above ground. 
Do not cover bud. Do not plant too shallow or 
_ too deep. Dig hole large enough so all roots can 
be spread in a natural position. Do not crowd 
_ roots. Prune off any dead or injured roots and 
‘branches. If you use manure in the hole, be 
sure it is covered with at least six inches of 
dirt so that roots will not come in direct con- 
tact with it as manure will burn the roots.

Pruning 
Prune new roses back so that not more than 
to 8 inches of bush remain. The new growth 
the blooming wood, and you want to en- 
courage all the new growth you can get. When 
cutting blooms, cut to an OUTSIDE BUD so 
that new growth will head out rather than in 
towards the center of the plant. Keep the center 
n for plenty of air and sunshine. After 
s are established, cut them back to about 
| ches each winter or early spring before 
_ new growth starts. 
And don’t forget that a regular program of 
1 spraying will keep your rose bushes healthy 
and vigorous during the growing season.

Standard or Tree Roses 
Standard or Tree Roses are grown by budding select varieties of Roses on long straight 
stems at a height of 40 inches from the ground. These roses form large, bushy heads 
that produce an abundance of perfect blooms, sometimes even larger than the bush types. 
Because some varieties of roses are not suited for tree types, we have selected only those 
that make a satisfactory tree form, have good foliage, and are of free flowering habit. 
Tree roses are used effectively for lining walks, accent on corners, for background plant- 
ing in the rose garden, or planting in locations where height is desired.
