HOW TO CARE FOR ROSES 
All Roses flourish best when planted in good, rich, well-drained soil in an

open sunny location, but sheltered from north winds. They should be in 
or borders by themselves where roots of neighboring trees or shrubs 
will not penetrate or rob the soil. Make the hole deep (10 to 12 inches) 
and be sure that the plant is set low enough so that the’ bud union (graft) 
is about I inch below the surface of the ground. As you take each plant from 
the packing, soak the roots for several hours in mud or water, then plant 
as above recommended, 18 inches apart. Roots should be spread out nat- 
urally, the soil pressed very firmly around them, then water thoroughly. 
Prune back tops to within 4 to 6 inches of the ground when planting. Good 
cultivation and thorough watering during dry periods are essential to suc- 
cess. In early summer before the weather becomes hot, it is well to cover 
the bed with two inches of Neutral Peat (see page 55.) * 
The Climbing and Rambler Roses are all very hardy, but require winter 
R2S—MME. JOSEPH PERRAUD. Slim, elegant buds open into very fragrant full flowers of nasturtium- 
orange, yellow, buff and shell-pink, all in perfect blend. Wonderful rose in the garden or in 
bouquets. See color photo on opposite page. 
R30—POINSETTIA. Large, fine-shaped buds have a velvety texture, color vivid, glowing Poinsettia 
red, with fall blooms especially dazzling. Long stemmed flowers are ideal for cutting. Illus- 
trated on page 18. 
R31—THE DOCTOR. Enormous blooms, often 6 inches across, of shimmering pink. Said to have the 
most beautiful color of all roses, the richest fragrance. Time after time our customers have writ- 
ten us of the ‘perfect’ flowers The Doctor has produced in their gardens. Pictured on opposite

protection in places of zero temperatures. Lay down the canes in late fall 
and cover with earth, evergreen boughs or leaves, or wrap in straw and 
burlap. The Hybrid Teas, Polyantha and Floribunda Roses must have 
winter protection, especially in the North. After a sharp frost, but before 
severe freezing weather, mound earth over and around each plant for a 
distance of 8 to 10 inches, then when the ground is frozen down about 2 
inches cover around the mounds and over them with 6 to 12 inches of leaves, 
straw or shredded cornstalks, held down with boards. 
Each spring as the Hybrid Teas are uncovered, the plants should be 
trimmed back quite heavily to encourage more blooms. Rugosa Roses will 
require little annual pruning except to keep them to the size desired. 
Climbing Roses, when once established, should have no trimming what- 
ever in early spring except to prune out any dead wood. Any extensive 
rare to Climbers should be done immediately following the blooming 
period.
