Kellogg's Pamnous Flowers 
Some prefer to use mulching in place of 
the mound of soil, but in that case you must 
allow for packing down, and the mulch will 
have to be at least ten inches deep, and 
twelve inches would be better. We _ prefer 
the method of using mounded soil. It will 
usually bring the Roses through. 
Time for Mulching 
Roses 
For other flowers, we have emphasized 
the idea of mulching after the first freeze. 
Roses are an exception. 
They should be mulched shortly before 
the first heavy freeze. Of course, a little guess- 
work is required, so to be safe you could do 
your mounding, or mulching a week or ten 
days ahead of when you guess the freeze 
will arrive. If it does arrive early, you are 
prepared, and if not, no harm is done. 
Removing the Mulch 
in the Spring 
In general the same rules apply for re- 
moving the mulch from Roses in the spring, 
as for other flowers. It should not be done 
until all danger of freezing is past, but the 
mulch should not be left on so long that the 
Rose canes will bleach. 
Be careful in removing the mulch, not 
to injure the canes. And, if you have simply 
mounded the soil around the Rose plants, it 
need not be carried away, but will soon 
level off. If you have brought it in, again, it 
is not necessary to carry it away. Otherwise, 
brought-in soil would not have been neces- 
sary.
