IMPORTANT ROSE INFORMATION—PLEASE NOTE 
Frequently a planting of roses will have one, two, three or even more roses 
out of a quantity planted that seem to be more backward than the balance. 
They were all planted by the same party, presumably the stock varied little in 
quality, they were all fertilized alike, watered in properly, etc.; yet one or more 
of these roses have failed to respond, whereas the balance are progressing nice- 
ly. Many things could cause the backwardness of those above mentioned, the 
usual one being lack of water. In many instances the rose appears dead and 
hopeless. 
We have found from past experience that where you have a rose not 
responding properly, IF YOU WILL TAKE THE NOZZLE OFF YOUR HOSE 
AND ALLOW A SLOW TRICKLE OF WATER ABOUT PENCIL SIZE TO 
SEEP AT THE BASE OF ANY BACKWARD PLANT FOR AN HOUR OR SO, 
AND REPEAT AGAIN IN FOUR OR FIVE DAYS, in most instances you will 
be surprised how these plants will respond quickly and the buds swell and 
finally break into foliage. Normally it takes a lot of water to make roses 
respond properly. Frequently where roses have been planted a little on the 
shallow side with the bud at or slightly above the ground level, you are more 
apt to have these backward roses than where the bud is from two inches, to 
two and one-half inches under the ground level, which we consider the proper 
way to plant budded roses in this climate. 
WE SUGGEST YOU TRY THIS SLOW TRICKLE ON YOUR ROSES BE- 
FORE REPORTING THEM DEAD OR UNSATISFACTORY.
