Potted Roses bring premium prices. You cut your losses, 
extend your selling season, and give more customer satis- 
faction. 
Cloverset Pots are practically standard for this purpose. 
The No. 2 size is used mostly for roses although No. 1| is 
satisfactory especially if you can turn your stock quick 
enough. See page 64 for prices. 
Directions are simple. Cut your roses back two thirds, tak- 
ing out all thin branches. Pot firmly using a soil containing 
at least one quarter rotted cow manure or peat. Pack the 
soil firmly around the roots using a piece of broomstick or 
hammer handle. Water so that soil is wet all the way through, 
after this keep the soil slightly on the dry side until growth 
starts. Protect the tops against drying winds and keep 
moist. Feed with liquid manure or fertilizer when the plants 
show buds. 
Roses are perishable even when dormant. Protect the roots 
and tops against drying and rapid temperature changes, at 
all times.
