log usually available after December 1st and our Fall Bulb catalog

YOU WANT YOUR ROSES TO GROW AND BLOOM 
SATISFACTORILY—SO DO WE... PAY PARTICU- 
LAR ATTENTION TO THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW 
Consider these simple instructions and you will have little dif- 
ficulty in growing beautiful roses. 
Roses like a sunny location and should have at least a half of 
day’s sun. Any good garden soil that is well drained will be excel- 
lent for roses. Fertilizer or well rotted manure if available should 
be worked into the soil. 
Unpack and plant roses as soon as received from the nursery 
if at all possible. If you cannot plant at once, unwrap the plants 
and heel in the ground until ready to plant in a permanent 
location. 
In planting, set the plants with the bud, or joint, just above 
the roots, about 2 inches below the surface of the soil. Have 
holes large enough to avoid crowding the roots and be sure the 
soil used for backfilling is finely pulverized. Tramp soil firmly 
a couple of times as the hole is filled and leave a slight depres- 
sion around each plant to retain water. 
As soon as planting is completed see that all plants and the 
soil around them is soaked thoroughly. After the water has set- 
tled, hill the dirt up around each plant to a height of 6 inches. 
As soon as the plant begins to sprout buds, level off this dirt to 
your bed level. 
Keep the Rose planting well watered at all times. To discour- 
age Mildew, only water in the morning or irrigate the bed, being 
careful not to wet the foliage too much. A reasonable application 
of fertilizer applied twice during the summer months, with an 
interval of at least 30 days between applications, will induce 
added growth and extra quality in blooms. 
Fach succeeding Spring all canes should be cut back to 6 inches. 
This causes strong new growth and abundant bloom to develop.. 
For winter protection in cold climates, hill the dirt up around 
each plant to a height of 8 to 12 inches in late Fall before the: 
ground freezes. Level off as soon as danger of hard frosts is 
over in spring and cut plants back as directed.
