Planting Instructions 
Select fertile, well drained soil where no roses 
have been grown ‘for two or more’years. This should 
be located where the.reses will be in full «sunlight 
the greater part of the day and far enough distant 
from trees, hedges, ‘shrubbery, or other plants so 
that the roots of these plants will not rob the roses 
of necessary plant food. Several months before 
planting, .about -one -or ‘two inches of manure .and 
two pounds of a complete fertilizer for each 100 
square feet of area should be dug into the soil. No 
other fertilizer should be added until August, when 
two pounds of a complete fertilizer for each 100 
square feet of-area‘should be applied. Plants ‘should 
be set two to three feet apart. Plant so the bud 
union will be one or two inches above the top of 
the soil after the*bed shas settled. The plants should 
be set on a mound in the center of the hole so that 
the roots extend out naturally at an angle of 30 to 
45 degrees. The .soil should -be packed around the 
-roots with the -hands until the -hole is about ‘two- 
thirds full. Pour in «a bucket -of water; and after 
this has disappeared, fill the remainder ‘of the -hole 
and mound the soil over the plants for -eight vor 
ten inches. This mound should be removed about 
February 15 by pulling soil away from the bottom 
of the mounds.
