CULTURAL HINTS 
When planting roses, spread out the roots over a mound of 
topsoil, with the bud or basal branching point barely under 
the surface. Work soil in around the roots and firm by 
tamping. The proper root requirements are a rich garden 
soil, preferably worked two feet deep. Mix in well-rotted 
manure or Malmo Organic Fertilizer. 

Roses like plenty of water. Flood the beds once a week by 
placing the hose on the bed and letting it run slowly so 
that the water may soak deep to the roots. Spent blooms 
should be removed, cutting the stem above the first complete 
set of five leaves, in order to induce more blooms. If long 
stemmed roses are wanted, cut so that only two sets of 
leaves remain on the stalk.
