PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS for DORMANT ROSES 
Anyone can grow roses. There have been so many in- 
structions on the planting and care of roses that many 
amateurs hesitate to begin a rose garden. The important 
things in choosing your location are good drainage, at least 
half a day of full sun, and protection trom very strong winds. 
It is advisable to spade the bed in advance to a depth 
of at least 18 inches. Well rotted cow manure is very good 
for spading in at this time, or this may be applied away 
from the roots when planting. This is the best winter mulch- 
ing fertilizer. 
When you receive your dormant roses, completely un- 
wrap them and immerse in a bucket of water until planted. 
If you cannot plant immediately, bury them in moist soil 
for a few days. But plant them as soon as possible. 
Roses should be planted 2 to 3 feet apart. Dig a large 
enough hole so the roots spread out completely. Prune any 
you fill in the dirt. There MUST NOT be any air pockets left 
around the roots or the rose will die. Water again several 
days later so the ground will settle firmly. 
Roses are susceptible to bugs and diseases. A Dormant 
Spray should be applied twice in the Winter. A combina- 
tion spray for bugs and diseases should be used every ten 
days thru the Summer. Good, reputable, especially pre- 
pared rose sprays are available at any nursery supply store. 
We highly recommend a soluble fertilizer called ''RA- 
PID-GRO" for Spring and Summer fertilizing. It is high in 
the elements that roses require and so easy to apply. Mixed 
with water, pour some around each rose, or spray it on at 
the same time as the insecticide, as it is also a foliage 
fertilizer.

We have roses for planting every month of the year. Several thousand roses are planted in tar-paper pots during the Winter 
months, left outside to grow naturally, and then be planted anytime from April to November, after the dormant season is over. It is 
worthwhile to visit our Nursery in the Summer, choose your roses in bloom, take them home and plant them. Simply dig a hole in well 
worked ground, set the potted rose in the hole, slit the tar-paper pot, remove it without disturbing the dirt on the roots, fill in more 
soil, and water. Then feed them ''RA-PID-GRO" and watch them thrive!
