used chemical fertilizers. They produce a perfect bal-

of it can be used by the plant to make brighter, bigger 
and better Roses. It is prepared primarily for Rose

depth of planting 
1. Begin right by buying Wyant Roses. 
2. Plant in the Fall or as early as possible in the 
Spring—March or early April. 
3. When Roses are received don’t let them dry out. 
4. If black-spot has been prevalent, spray plants, 
beds and surrounding paths with lime-sulphur 
before growth starts in the Spring. 
5. As soon as Winter protection is removed, prune 
off dead wood and cut down small branches. 
6. Fertilize at least each April, June and August, 
if you want the best results. Bonemeal is the only 
chemical fertilizer that may be applied to newly 
planted Roses. 
7. Besystematic about controlling insects and diseases. 
8. Disbud when side buds are very tiny if you want 
to produce specimen blooms. 
9. Prune Climbers only when they get too large for 
your trellis. 
10. In pruning Climbers remove the oldest canes after 
they bloom in June or July.
