notes and any rose which has proven to be superior is given

KEEP YOUR ROSES HEALTHY 
Roses will grow in many different soils but they respond greatly 
to care and attention. Keep them healthy. If available, there 
is nothing better than cow manure. You can work it into the 
soil any month that the ground is not frozen. Otherwise you 
can use any commercial fertilizer following carefully the instruc- 
tions on the package. Ra-Pid-Gro is good and acts quickly. 
Work a liberal amount of neutral peat into the ground. It adds 
humus and helps greatly to retain moisture. When you water, 
do a good job, so that the moisture penetrates 6 or more inches 
into the soil. A mulch of neutral peat moss, lawn rakings 
or other materials helps hold the moisture. 
Start early in the season to dust or spray. Keep the plants 
healthy. You will find our Rose Dust listed on page 51 to be 
very good. But remember that an ounce of prevention is worth 
a pound of cure. Do not be afraid to cut the flowers as the 
more you cut them, the more freely the plant will produce.
