HOW TO USE ROSES 
BUSH ROSES are planted in formal beds, or a design of 
beds making a Rose garden; informal groupings, along 
walks or driveways, in parking strips or in the foreground 
of evergreen shrubbery. 
CLIMBING ROSES are so perfectly suited to the porch, 
garden wall, the fence, or as a specimen on a trellis, on 
garden pillars, against the summer house or other building. 
FLORIBUNDAS (larger improved polyantha) with their 
clusters of bloom and more dwarf habit make the perfect 
and most colorful of compact beds or borders, low hedges 
or add color to the shrub border. 
TREE ROSES are the aristocrats of Rosedom! They lend 
height to your garden and accentuate its beauty. The Tree 
Rose is excellent for lining driveways, walks, accents in rose 
beds, or as lawn or parkway specimens. They are also fre- 
quently used in group massing and provide unequalled 
beauty and color as a result of their profuse blooming 
and exquisite flowers on long stems. 
CULTURE OF ROSES 
The growing of Roses in our area is comparatively simple. 
Rose bushes may be set out at any time during the winter 
or early spring. December, January and February are the 
best months for planting but bushes may also be success- 
fully set out in March or April. If it is later than this, Malmo 
Roses are available, growing in containers in Rose soil, for 
all Summer planting. When planting, spread out the roots 
over a cone of soil with the bud or basal branching point 
barely under the surface and firm in by tamping. The 
proper root requirements are a rich garden soil, preferably 
worked two feet deep, rotted cow manure or Malmo Or- 
ganic Fertilizer or both. The control of pests by spraying or 
dusting together with proper pruning in early spring are 
the other principal requirements for healthy and profusely 
blooming roses. 
The list we present below includes the best of the new 
varieties as well as the older favorites. We believe our 
stock to be the most complete line of heavy grade, number 
one quality roses available in the Northwest. 
Our indoor ROSE ROOM features color plates of roses
