CARE OF ROSES 
Whole books are written about the care of roses, so we 
can’t give a complete course of instructions here. These few 
suggestions may be helpful. 
1. When planting dig the hole deeper than the roots re- 
quire, and if the soil is heavy put some coarse gravel in the 
bottom so your plant will get drainage; then mix the soil with 
some well rotted compost or manure. 
2. Roses are heavy feeders, and need plenty of plant food 
to produce at their best. Fertilize often, but little at a time, 
using a good commercial fertilizer. The use of well rotted com- 
post, cow manure or peat moss not only provides plant food but 
also a mulch so the ground will keep cool and moist even in hot 
dry weather.
