How To Grow Roses 
GROOTENDORST—Grows 4 to 5 feet. Blooms in large clusters and each rose 
resembles small red carnations. Blooms all summer. 

Roses need plenty of sun and good rich 
soil. We have found that they do better 
if planted in beds. The rose bed should 
be top dressed with 2 to 3 inches of cattle 
or sheep manure, and add a cup full of 
bone meal to each plant, then spade un- 
der the whole works to a depth of 10 to 
12 inches, then set the roses. Plant 12 to 
18 inches apart and 3 to 5 inches deeper 
than they grew in the nursery. 
SKYROCKET—Shrub rose with pointed buds, opening into large single rose, 
bright red, borne in clusters. Fragrant. Blooms June to October. 
HUGONIS*—Bright yellow flowers borne profusely along the branches. Very 
hardy. Blooms very early. Branches are bright red.
