It’s Easy To Have Lovely Roses 

Betty Uprichard 
Have you a bit of ground with sun half the day, soil that 
will grow good garden crops? Then plant firmly, prune se- 
verely, cultivate and water as needed, dust them occasion- 
ally with sulphur and you can have lovely, fragrant roses 
from May until the frosts of autumn. 
For best results you want the best plants. We do not ex- 
pect the best silverware, the best shoes, for the price of com- 
mon grades. Neither should we expect the best roses for the 
least. The best roses must be properly grown, and properly 
handled after growing. 
As autumn and winter approach a properly grown rose 
stores up starch in the wood and bark, especially in the roots. 
When growth is completed the plant cells are literally filled 
with starch. If dug before this change takes place, or, as 
commonly said, before they mature, the plants do not readily 
start into growth in spring and do not grow as vigorously. 
A rose dug too early cannot be a first-class rose, because the 
storage of starch must occur in the field before digging. 
Sometimes that is the reason: good looking plants do not 
give good results.

Our roses are grown under irrigation, so never suffer for 
lack of moisture. They are not dug until thoroughly matured 
by natural winter conditions. When dug, the roots are bed- 
ded in moist packing material in a cold storage room where 
artificial refrigeration keeps the temperature at 35 to 40 de- 
grees. Controlled temperature and proper humidity give them 
a long, mild winter. They have a good rest, and when plant- 
ed are ready to start into active growth. We consider them 
the best roses that can be grown. They please us and give 
us good results. We feel sure they will please you. 
Budded and Own-Root Roses. Almost all Tea and Hybrid- 
Tea, and some Climbing Roses, give more, better and larger 
flowers when budded. In such cases our Roses are budded. 
Polyantha (Pol.) means many flowered. Years ago they 
were called Baby Rambler. They have clusters of Rambler- 
like flowers on bushes seldom over 18 to 24 in. high, that do 
not climb. Easily grown and the most truly everblooming, 
they give a magnificent display all summer long.
