Bush Roses... 
DESCRIPTIVE STYLE. It is impossible to 
be precise with definite descriptions of roses. 
Color will vary according to climate and soil, 
and any rose grower knows that each bloom- 
ing brings a more intense, or lighter, shade 
according to degree of sunlight. Also, perfec- 
tion of bloom is dependent on the weather. 
Nearly every rose is fragrant. But not al- 
ways in hot climates, nor during hot, humid 
weather. 
Abundance of bloom depends much on care 
and fertilization. Constant pruning back after 
each blooming will bring quicker and greater 
rewards. 
Again, growth depends on care and fertili- 
zer. Correct pruning will properly shape each 
bush. Varieties do grow different heights. The 
lower, medium growers have been designated 
as of “moderate growth,’’ above average 
growers as “vigorous medium,” then the ‘‘tall 
vigorous’ growers.
