GENERAL ROSE INFORMATION 
PLANTING ROSES 
The planting season in the South is from December 1, or as soon as 
the plants are dormant, through the winter and spring months to 
about April 15. When the plants are received, it is well to set them in 
buckets of water overnight, if they have been delayed in transit, or 
bury them completely for a day or two in moist soil. They are already 
pruned for planting, but any broken roots should be trimmed off. Our 
grafted plants should be set same depth as grown, indicated by soil- 
niarks. 
Space them 2 to 214 feet apart. Spread the roots out carefully, fill 
in with good soil mixed with bonemeal, pack the earth tight about 
the roots, leave a basin, and water well. 
SOILS and PREPARATION 
Soils in the South are variable, perhaps in some districts more so 
than in other parts of the country; hence it is di: cult to lay down 
general rules for soil-preparation. Locations under the shade of trees, 
or where the ground is filled with tree-roots, should be avoided. Wet 
soils should be drained. The Rose delights in a moist soil, but stand- 
ing water or a soil completely filled with water for a period of time is 
certain to prove harmful. Clay lands need little preparation, except to 
enrich them and make them less compact and more friable. The ad- 
dition of 2 to 3 inches of peat moss, good muck, or woods-mold will 
help greatly. These can be spread over the surface and spaded in. 
Stable manure, well rotted, is also good. Sandy svils can be improved 
by adding clay wherever possible and with it peat moss, woods-mold, 
or stable manure. Closely planted beds may be prepared by digging 
out 15 inches deep, and filling in with 4 to 6 inches of good clay and 
finishing off with 9 inches of a well-mixed soil, and one to two pounds 
of bonemeal for each plant. It is best to make up the beds two to 
three weeks before planting. 
FERTILIZING and CARE 
Thorough preparation of the soil before planting will take care of 
the fertilizing problem for some time, but as Roses are gross feeders, it 
is necessary to keep them supplied with an abundance of plant-food. 
GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES CO., Glen Saint Mary, Florida 

Stable manure may be used, liberally scattered on the surface as a 
mulch, and good, well-balanced commercial fertilizer may also be used 
from time to time. A mulch of 3 to 4 inches of leaves or partly rotted 
leaves and leaf-mold is excellent during the summer. In dry weather 
water freely. 
Tea Roses do not require very severe pruning. Prune in September 
and October for fall and winter bloom; in late February and March 
for the spring crop of flowers. Thin out small and poorly developed 
wood. Cut Hybrid Perpetuals severely, leaving only 3 to 4 inches of 
the old canes. Climbers should be pruned sparingly. 
Shoots sometimes come up from the stock below the graft union 
and take the food-supply to such an extent that they destroy the Rose 
top. The leaves on these shoots generally have seven leaflets and are 
quite different in appearance. They should be removed by digging 
down to the point of union with the stem and cutting them off 
smooth and clean. 
PESTS and DISEASES 
All common Rose diseases and insects can be controlled with Tri- 
Ogen, which is put out by Rose Manufacturing Co., Beacon, N.Y. 
We have found it very effective if used according to directions. 
Black-spot appears as irregular dark areas on leaves and stems. 
Affected leaves turn yellow and drop off. 
The treatment for black-spot that has been most commonly used 
is Bordeaux, applied every week or ten days. It discolors the foliage 
somewhat but is perhaps the cheapest spray for fungous diseases 
that is effective. 
Massey Dust, sometimes called Combination Dust or ‘‘9—1-1,”’ can 
also be used for general clean-up if preferred. Whether spray or dust 
is used, be sure to reach the underside of leaves as well as top. Be- 
cause this is easier to do with a spray, many growers prefer it 
Important. Both dusts and sprays should be applied before rains 
insofar as possible if maximum results are to be obtained. Dusting 
should be done in early morning or evening when the air is most 
likely to be still.
