PLANTING. Unwrap the roses soon as re- 
ceived. If the roots are dry, plunge entire 
plant in a bucket of water overnight. If moist, 
_ dampen packing material and carefully re- 
wrap. Keep moist and cool until planting time. 
While digging holes to receive the roses, keep 
them in a bucket of water (Fig. 1). Dig spa- 
‘cious holes, mounding soil in center. Place the 
_. roots over the mound and set the bud union at 
\ ground level (Fig. 1), and fill in with top-soil 
‘Fig. 2). Soak with a slow stream of water 
and fill in with additional soil as required.

PRUNING. Figures 1 & 2 show a rose cor- 
rectly pruned at time of planting. Note that 
cuts are made just above an outside bud. Fig- 
ure 3 shows a rose after one season’s growth. 
Shaded portions indicate parts of plants to be 
removed. Keep the plants open in the center. 
Don’t prune too early; January is a good time. 
SPRAYING. A good, all-purpose spray for 
roses consists of a combination pyrethrum- 
rotenone insecticide (containing a light oil for 
spreading) and a fungicide containing copper. 
This combination controls aphis and mildew, 
the rose’s worst enemies. Begin spraying in 
early spring and repeat each week as long as 
necessary. 
FERTILIZING. Use a balanced commercial 
fertilizer, about one heaping trowelful applied _ 
in the basin around the plant. Soak soil first,  __ 
then apply fertilizer, then soak again. Begin —s_—_> 
fertilizing in late spring and repeat monthly 
until September. A mulch of well-rotted ma- —S_ 
nure in the dormant season is good. Don’t 
spade near roses; this disturbs shallow roots.
