PLANT ROSES 
from the nursery and 
scak the roots in a 
bucket of thick muddy 
water for 6 to 8 hours 
before planting. If 
planting has to be de- 
layed for a few days, 
cover roots with soil 
and keep covered, 
tops and all, with wet 
burlap or straw. 
Most important 
* points in planting 
roses are preparation 
of soil to a depth of 
25”, dig hole large 
: enough for roots to 
be spread out with 4 to 6 inches of drainage at bottom. Roses 
will grow in soil that grows good vegetables but ideal mixture 
for fine blooms and growth is soil plus 15% rotted manure and 
25% peat moss, and a cupful of special rose food mixed through 
the soil. 
3 Plant rose so that graft will be at ground level of the bed. 
¢ Pack soil firmly about roots and when hole is half filled 
with soil, pour in a bucket of water, then fill with soil. Top few 
inches should be soil plus 25% peat moss. Space hybrid tea 
roses 16 to 18 inches apart and floribundas 18 to 24 inches. 
4 After planting, hill up 6 to 8 inches of soil over the tops to 
® prevent their being dried out by wind and sun. As soon as 
new growth has started well, this covering should be removed. 
At this time, plants should be sprayed or dusted with a special 
rose spray or dust and 1 tablespoon of rose plant food should be 
worked into the soil.
