CARE OF ROSES 
PLANTING. It should be borne in mind that roses will 
do much better in well-drained clay soil with plenty of 
sun. The plants should be set out as soon as received. 
The rose beds should be so planned that they will be at 
least three feet wide, but never more than six feet in 
width. Holes to receive plants should be dug at least 
fifteen inches deep and equally as wide, so that the 
roots may be spread easily. Well-seasoned cow manure 
and a little bone meal may be incorporated with the 
soil. Fill in earth and pack firmly so as to leave no air 
pockets. The juncture of the root stock and stems 
~ should be just beneath the surface. Newly-planted 
roses should be well watered. We recommend placing 
Hybrid Tea Rose bushes eighteen inches apart. A little 
crowding makes for longer and straighter stems. 
PRUNING. For best results the Hybrid Teas should be 
cut back to about six or eight inches, leaving an outside 
bud at the top of the cane. Climbing roses bloom on 
canes of the previous season’s growth, hence the old 
wood should be cut out each year. 
FERTILIZING. A handful of Happy Farmer fertilizer and 
a four-inch pot full of sheep manure should be worked 
into the surface soil. This will insure luxuriant growth, 
good stems and flowers of splendid substance. 
WINTER PROTECTION. In late fall or early winter, 
earth should be heaped over the crowns to a depth of 
at least ten inches. If available, cow manure should 
be placed around the mounds. This hilling up process 
will protect the bushes against the drying action of 
winter winds, frost, and sun. 
About the last week in March the winter covering 
should be removed, fertilizer applied and the bed raked 
off smooth. 
SUMMER CARE. A top dressing of peat moss not only 
gives the rose bed a neat appearance, but causes bet- 
ter growth by conserving moisture and keeping down 
weeds. Grass clippings may be used instead of peat. 
moss. If no mulch is used, keep the top soil pulverized 
with a sharp rake. After every rain, the crust should 
be broken up as soon as the ground is mellow enough 
to work. 
Insects and disease will inevitably do much damage 
unless preventative measures are taken. Dust thor- 
oughly once a week with Massey dust or spray with a 
combination of Brodeaux Mixture and Arsenate of 
Lead. When plant lice appear, spray thoroughly with 
EXTRAX.
