—— Te 
To obtain success in planting roses it is important that they are properly planted. 
The roots should be trimmed back some and the hole dug large enough so that 
roots will not be crowded. Place the plant in the hole so that the bud union above 
the roots is at least two inches below the level of the ground, then fill in around 
the roots with dirt and water in well. After the water has seeped away, cut each 
cane back to about four inches above the level of the ground and cover the plant 
over completely with a mound of earth. After about six inches of new growth has 
forced through the mound of earth you can hoe the mound away gradually.
