oa Everblooming Roses 
We offer California Roses grown for us by one of the largest and 
most reputable growers on the West Coast. All plants offered are 
large, hardy, 2-year-old, field-grown, budded stock, full of vigor. 
They have been blooming profusely this past season. 
All Tea (T) and Hybrid Tea (HT) Roses are everblooming in the 
South. Hybrid Perpetuals (HP) are more seasonal in their blooming. 
Cuturat Drrections. Select a location where your Roses will 
get the sun at least 5 to 6 hours a day. They do best in a slightly acid 
ground and if your soil is alkaline it is advisable to give the Rose- 
beds an application of Aluminum Sulphate before setting out the 
bushes. Broadcast this material over the surface at the rate of 10 
pounds per 100 square feet, and mix it into the soil by spading. For 
easy cultivation and cutting of flowers do not make your Rose-beds 
more than 3 feet wide, and set your bushes 114 feet apart each way. 
About the end of February the Rose bushes should be pruned. Cut 
the plants back to about 12 inches; remove all dead wood and weak 
and unproductive growth. Climbing Roses if cut back at all should 
be pruned about the beginning of July. Some growers object to severe 
pruning, in which case remove only the dead wood or unproductive 
growth. 
Give your first application of plant-food about the middle of Feb- 
ruary and continue monthly until June. Apply a closed handful to 
each bush sprinkled over the surface and watered down. 
Spraying is very necessary to protect the plants from black-spot, 
mildew, and insects. Tri-Ogen or Nicotine Pyrox are probably the 
most efficient of all the spray materials as they control the fungus 
and kill all types of insects. 
In the spring a mulch of some kind is of great importance. Such 
material as Peat-Moss or Servall is suitable for this purpose. During 
dry weather give your Rose-bed a thorough soaking twice a week. 
Light daily sprinklings are of little benefit.
