EVERBLOOMING POLYANTHA 
OR BABY ROSES 
rhe origin of the Polyantha is not clear. It is be- 
lieved to have come from the Multiflora ramblers; 
hence the misleading names sometimes applied to 
them, “Baby Ramblers.” They are not ramblers in 
any sense of the word, but very dwarf, bushy plants, 
blooming in large clusters of tiny flowers, Excellent 
for mass planting or dwarf, informal hedges and bor- 
ders.

Hardy Climbers, Ramblers and Pillar Roses 
\ Climbing Rose is a plant that, if given support, grows higher and 
higher, starting cach year from or near the top of the previous year’s 
growth 
A Rambler, properly speaking, has long, thin, pliable branches which 
if not supported, take root where they touch the ground and thus “ramble.” 
A Pillar Rose does not climb or “ramble” for its canes are too stiff

support

The Tea Roses we have today are descendants of Rosa indica odora- 
tissima, originally a native species of South China. They are nicknamed 
Pea Roses because they have the odor of crushed tea leaves. They succeed 
in Florida and the Gulf Coast sections where other kinds fail, For 
satisfaction in these sections, plant more Tea Roses

Simple Hints for Growing Prize-Winning Roses 
We advise fall planting when and where possible. You 
should be guided by climatic conditions in your section and 
the experience of successful local gardeners. We usually 
begin shipping about October 1 and continue until April 1, 
but find late spring plantings do not survive the first summer 
as well as earlier plantings. 
Any good soil in a sunny location, and away from trees 
and shrubbery, is right for roses. The soil should be spaded 
deep—about 18 inches. Any manure used should be mixed 
with soil and placed within the first 9 inches at the bottom of 
the bed. Don’t let the roots touch the manure. Iill top of 
bed with top soil. 
Make the holes deep and large enough to receive the roots 
without bending. Place the plant with roots spread out, and 
slightly deeper than the plant grew in the nursery. Work 
soil in around the roots until hole is three-fourths full. Pack 
well and water thoroughly. \When water settles, finish filling 
hole with loose top soil; this acts as a mulch. If fertilizer is 
required on the surface, spread it carefully and work into the 
top soil. 
Should watering be required in dry weather, be sure to 
soak the soil thoroughly. A light sprinkling is almost useless. 
Good cultivation and loose top soil or a mulch of peat moss 
are surely as important as watering. 
Foliage diseases may be controlled with Sulphur-Copper 
Rose Dust (90-10) or its equivalent. Good sprays may be 
bought from your local merchant with directions on the 
containers. 
Pruning: Prune Hybrid Tea and Hybrid Perpetual bush 
Roses by removing misplaced canes and old and diseased 
wood at the base; shorten remaining canes to desired height. 
To keep Tea and Polyantha bush Roses in shape, remove 
dead wood. Prune Hybrid Tea Climbers and Tea Climbers to 
remove old and diseased wood, and to keep in bounds. Prune 
Shrub Roses and Climbers which bloom only in the sprinz 
by removing old, weakened canes at the base, leaving the new 
thrifty canes for next year’s bloom, (Ixample, [E-xcelsa and 
Banksia.) All Rose pruning should be done in the spring 
when buds begin to swell (about ebruary 15 here) except 
Climbers and Shrub Roses that bloom only in the spring; 
these should be pruned in carly summer, soon after they 
have finished blooming,
