How to Plant and Care for Roses 
Get your Rose bed ready before your new plants arrive. Choose a 
spot that is protected from strong winds and gets at least half a 
day of full sun. When making an entire new bed, shovel out all the 
dirt to a depth of 24 inches. Then put 4 inches of Peat Moss in the 
bottom of the bed, add Bone Meal, 10 Ibs. to 40 square feet, and 
spade up deeply with a spading fork. Mix the soil taken out of the 
bed with one-third Peat Moss, and shovel it back into the bed. No 
doubt the soil will settle from 2 to 4 inches; allow for this. You are 
then ready for our Roses. If spotting plants in an existing bed, dig 
an individual hole about 14 inches in diameter for each plant, treat- 
ing the soil the same as above. Don’t expose the roots of the Roses 
to the sun or wind while you are planting. Keep them covered always. 
When planting in the spring, prune the tops of the plants to stand 
about 6 inches above the ground, leaving at least three eyes. Trim 
off any broken or cracked roots. Set Hybrid Tea Roses 15 inches . 
apart, larger growing kinds 18 to 24 inches. Spread the roots care- 
fully. Pack the dirt around them snugly. ‘When hole is three- 
quarters filled with soil, soak with water: when water has disappeared, 
fill balance of hole with soil not packed down hard. Feed the plants 
every 14 days, using 2 ounces of a complete plant food per plant 
until September Ist. Dust or spray every week, one week with a 
fungicide for black spot and mildew, the next week an insecticide 
for eating and sucking insects. In June cover beds with an inch of 
Shredded Tobacco or Peat Moss to hold the moisture. 
_ WINTER PROTECTION 
Just before the first hard freeze in the fall, cut plants down to 
about 18 inches, remove the mulch of Shredded Tobacco or Peat 
Moss that might harbor black spot over winter, spray or dust them 
with a fungicide, and hill them up with 6 inches of soil. After the 
ground has frozen, cover them with straw, corn stalks or leaves. In 
the spring remove this litter, and level the soil, trim plant to 6 inches 
and three eyes, and start regular feeding and spraying program. 
This method of culture has been very successful. We believe it will 
help you with your Rose growing.
