Proper method of hilling up 
a Rose at planting time 
The above sketch shows the proper way to plant and 
hill up a Rose. Dig hole considerably larger than 
spread and depth of roots. Fill in enriched soil around 
the spread-out roots, keeping the crown or bud barely 
covered below the finished ground line after tramping. 
Water thoroughly, and hill up 6 to 8 inches of moist 
soil around top of plant as shown. This is very import- 
ant. Completely remove this additional soil when 
growth starts. Ask for detailed instruction sheet on 
‘“‘Growing Roses the Easy Way.’’
