HOW TO PLANT 
A ROSE BUSH 

1. Dig the hole large enough to accom- 
modate the root system without crowding. 
Remove any bruised or broken roots. 
2. Spread out the root system and adjust 
the height so that the bud-union will be 
slightly below the natural ground level. 
Work the pulverized soil carefully around the 
roots so that no air spaces are left. 
3. Fill in soil to cover the roots and firm. 
Fill the hole with water and allow to drain 
away before filling in with the remainder of 
the soil. 
4. Mount soil high around the stems for 
protection until growth starts; then remove 
carefully.
