CAREFUL PLANTING Means 
BEAUTIFUL ROSES 
Rose bushes fresh from the Nursery deserve the best care you can give them. 
In return they will reward you with a greater abundance of perfect flowers, luxuriant 
foliage and continued healthy, vigorous growth. Roses should be planted as soon as 
possible after they are received. If this cannot be done, unpack them and heel into 
the ground until ready to plant in permanent location. Water carefully. Do not allow 
roots to dry out. 
Roses Prefer A Sunny Location — Well Drained Soil 
Plant roses where they will get full sun at least half of the day. They will thrive 
in any good garden soil that is well drained. Fertilizer, or well rotted manure if 
available, should be worked into the soil. 
When planting, dig holes large enough to avoid crowding the roots, and deep 
enough so that when plants are set in, the joint or bud just above the roots will 
be about 2 inches below the surface of the soil. Fill hole with finely pulverized 
soil, tramping down firmly to prevent air pockets. Leave a slight depression around 
each plant to retain water. Soak plants and soil around them thoroughly. When 
water has settled, hill the soil up around each plant to a height of 6 inches. As soon 
as buds begin to sprout, level off. Keep Rose planting well watered at all times. 
To discourage mildew, avoid wetting foliage too much. Fertilizer applied twice 
during the summer (at intervals of at least 30 days) will induce added growth and 
extra quality in blooms. 
For winter protection in cold climates, hill soil up around each plant to a height 
of 8 to 12 inches in late fall before ground freezes. In the 
spring level soil off as soon as danger of hard frost is over, 
and cut canes back to 6 inches.
