SIMPLE RULES FOR 
SUCCESS WITH 
ROSES 
'.-PLANTING. Unwrap the roses soon as re- 
ceived. If the roots are dry, plunge entire 
plant in a bucket of water overnight. If moist, 







































dampen packing material and carefully re- 
wrap. Keep moist and cool until planting 
time. While digging holes to receive the roses, 
keep them in a bucket of water (Fig. 1). Dig 
spacious holes, mounding soil in center. Place 
the roots over the mound and set the bud 
union at ground level (Fig. 1), and fill in with 
top-soil (Fig. 2). Soak with a slow stream of 
water and fill in with additional soil as re- 
quired. Construct a ridge around the plants 
for future irrigation. 
PRUNING. Figures 1 & 2 show a rose cor- 
rectly pruned at time of planting. Note that 
cuts are made just above an outside bud. 
Figure 3 shows a rose after one season's 
growth. Shaded portions indicate parts of 
plants to be removed. Keep the plants open 
in the center. Don’t prune too early; Janu- 
ary is. a good time. 
SPRAYING. A good, all-purpose spray for 
roses consists of a combination pyrethrum- 
rotenone insecticide (containing a light oil 
for spreading) and a fungicide containing 
copper. This combination controls aphis and

week as long as necessary. 
FERTILIZING. Use a balanced commercial 
fertilizer, about one heaping trowelful ap- 
plied in the basin around the plant. Soak soil 
first, then apply fertilizer, then soak again. 
Begin fertilizing in late spring and repeat 
monthly until September. A mulch of well- 
rotted manure in the dormant season is good. 
Don’t spade near roses; this disturbs shallow 
roots,
