FINE OUTDOOR ROSES 
Available in spring only. 
Everybody loves Roses, because of the beauty of their foliage and blooms, their gracefulness, their great variety 
of color, their utility and their fragrance. Roses add a touch of beauty to the home ground. They form a striking 
effect against the green of lawns and shrubs. 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Select a warm sunny, well-dramed place, protected from strong winds. Roses 
generally do best in the heavier soils, but loams are quite suitable. Humus in the soil is desirable. Use well-rotted 
manure or commercial fertilizers when necessary. A clean mulch, which does not detract from the appearance of 
your garden, will help to keep a good supply of moisture. 
Planting our potted Roses is very easy. Dig a hole large enough for the plant and deep enough so that the graft 
will be at least 3 inches below the surface of the ground. This deeper planting ts recommended as a preventive of 
winter killing in Minnesota. After the hole is dug, cut the paper pot down the side and it will easily slide off, 
leaving a nice ball of earth around the roots. Do not break the ball of earth, but carefully set it in the hole and fill 
around it with good soil and pack quite firm. Give a good watering.
