DIRECTIONS FOR RE-PLANTING 
POTTED ROSES 
The re-planting of Hillsdale Potted Roses is very 
simple indeed. The pots are slit and carefully peeled 
off from the soil. The ball of earth is then set in the 
bed so that it comes about !% inch lower than the 
finished level of the beds. Be sure that the graft union 
at the neck of the roots is 1 inch below the surface. 
Always press the soil firmly around the roots of any 
kind of plant. This is done to force the air space out of 
the soil around the roots. After this, watering to soak 
the soil thoroughly is all that is necessary. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
DORMANT PLANTS 
Keep the roots moist all the time before planting. 
Spread out the roots so they do not crowd; cover them 
with good soil and firm the earth about them, eliminat- 
ing all air pockets. Plant 15 to 18 inches apart, where 
there is sunshine at least half of the day. Mound soil 
about 10 inches high immediately after planting to 
keep the moisture in the branches.
