HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
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, mix- 
ing 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 
ane 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.
