HOW TO PLANT 
THE TWO MOST IMPOR- 
TANT factors in rose grow- 
ing are buying top grade 
plants, and proper planting. 
Roses prefer an open area, 
free of tree and shrub roots, 
where they get half a day or 
more of sun, preferably morn- 
ing sun. Keep roots moist and 
covered when planting. 
Most any well drained soil, 
not too acid or alkaline can 
be made into good rose soil. 
Prepare the holes for planting 
well in advance. Dig holes 2 
feet deep and 18 inches across. 
Add to surface soil 10% peat, 
10% rotted manure and 5% 
rotted compost. Mix well. 
When planting re-dig holes, 
build a cone-shaped mound 
in the center, spread roots 
over cone; bud union (bulge 
on understock where top is 
budded on the stock) slightly 
above level of the ground. 
Fill in, firming with feet; 
water thoroughly. 
Roses are heavy feeders. 
Fertilize from mid-March to 
mid-September, using % cup 
of a well-balanced fertilizer 
per plant. Dig a trench 
around plant, fill with water. 
When water settles place fer- 
tilizer in trench, . fill with 
water again and cover after
