Rose Bushes should be pruned. Cut 
the plants back to about 12 inches, 
remove all dead wood and weak

ing: Roses, if cut back at all, 
should be prurted about the be-

object to severe pruning, in

of plant food about the middle 
of February and continue 
monthly until June. Apply 
one closed handful to each 
bush sprinkled over the 
surface and watered down.

all types of insects.
