Plant Ramsey’s Reliable Everblooming Roses 
There is a secret about planting roses. The plants should be set about one inch deeper 
than they stood in the nursery, tops then cut back to about five inches above ground, 
and soil mounded up on stems almost to the tips. Always give plenty of water, so as 
to reach down to the roots, and then place dry soil over the wet to prevent baking ih 
the sun. 
For best growth and fiowering, old plants should be cut back half way in February, 
and about one-third in August every year. 
If shoots come from below ground the first year, cut them off. 
As with all plants, the soil around roses should be kept stirred and loose on top 
of ground about two inches deep. CAUTION: Do not dig or spade the soil deeper. 
as so doing will cut the roots and seriously injure plants. The rose bed should have a 
two-inch mulch of old leaves, grass clippings, old straw, or some other good humus for 
mulching over the entire bed during the hot summer months. Spade this into the 
ground in late fall, and repeat mulching next summer, ete. 
Roses must be kept watered through the dry part of the year, but they will not 
live or do well in a wet or seepy location where their roots are constantly wet. 
Most varieties of Bush Roses are everblooming. No variety of Climbing Rose is 
strictly everblooming. 
USE COPPERAS. In black soil and all soils heavy with lime, copperas is essen- 
tial for best results. See “WHEN LEAVES TURN YELLOW,” page 31,
