a) 
SELL POTTED ROSES. They have many ad- 
vantages. Your customers have no losses, you 
have fewer complaints. You offer a better article 
than they can purchase in the cut rate stores 
and you build customer satisfaction. 
POTTING IS EASY. Use any reasonably 
good soil, mix with it one-quarter rotted cow 
manure or peat moss. Firm soil tightly around the 
roots, using hammer handle or cut broom stick. 
Soil should be moist but not wet. Leave a rim of 
about 2 inches at top of pot. Water thoroughly 
immediately after potting and place in a position 
away from wind and drafts. Keep moist but after 
first watering soil should not be kept wet. Best re- 
sults are obtained if tops of bush roses are cut 
back to 6 or 8” and climbers to about 12 inches. 
This should be done before potting. Feed with 
liquid fertilizer, after buds form. 
PROTECT ROOTS of roses against drying or 
extremes of temperature at all times. They are 
perishable.
