Roses will grow in almost any kind of 
soil and in most locations if properly 
pruned and ready to plant. 
We recommend planting about 3 to 4 
feet apart in order to have plenty of 
room to work around the bush. 
Dig a hole deep and broad enough so 
the roots will spread naturally without 
crowding. Mix the soil that is removed 
from the hole with one pound bone meal 
for each bush, and after placing the bush 
in the hole, fill in with the mixed soil. 
Always remember to keep the bud at 
the ground level. A good mulch of steer 
manure or peat moss is used for a per- 
manent top dressing. This keeps the 
ground cool as well as controls the weed 
problem. 
Roses like plenty of water but should 
never be allowed to have damp feet.
