FINE OUTDOOR ROSES 
Available in spring only 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Select a warm, sunny, well-drained 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. 
Dusting the plants every ten days with a mixture of 9 parts dusting sulphur and 1 part arsenate of lead will 
help to keep the foliage free from disease and chewing insects. If troubled with aphids, spray with a nicotine solu- 
tion, following the instructions on the container. 
PLANTING POTTED ROSES 
Planting our potted Roses is very easy. Dig a hole Jarge 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 is 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.
