e HOW TO PLANT ROSES e 
Rose beds should be prepared well in advance of the arrival of the plants. 
Roses require sun, at least half of the day. Protection from strong winds 
is also desirable. The beds should be placed where the soil is naturally well 
drained, or drainage should be provided. The soil should be good garden loam. 
If it is poor, remove the top 8 to 10 inches, spade up the bottom, mixing in some 
good manure and replace the top portion with good top-soil, letting it settle 
well before planting. 
The Roses should be planted about 12 to 15 inches apart each way, varying 
the distance somewhat, depending on the vigor and spread of the varieties 
selected. 
All Roses should be planted as soon as received. But the bundles can 
usually be kept intact for a week, if kept in a cool, dark place. If delayed in 
planting for more than one week, remove the plants from the bundles, and hill 
them in carefully in a shady and moist place, until wanted. 
When planting in the fall, no pruning is necessary but cutting back to 
6 to 8 inches can do no harm, Immediately after planting, hill the soil around 
each plant for at least 6 inches. 
When planting in the spring, trim the branches back to 4 to 5 inches. If 
planting late in the spring, when it is warm, and it often is after the middle of 
April, hill the soil up slightly and keep the plants shaded from the sun for 
several weeks; water well each day. 
Full planting directions are sent with each shipment, and one should read 
them carefully before proceeding with the job. 
Best for Roses is Protexall Spray or Dust, a complete insect spray and 
fungicide. It stimulates plant growth and is harmless to foliage or blooms. 
It is convenient, easy and pleasant to use and is triple acting. It can be pur- 
chased at most seed stores or in any garden department of general stores.
