HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
Rose beds should be prepared well in advance of 
the arrival of the plants. 
Roses require sun, at least half of the day. Protec- 
tion from strong winds is also desirable. The beds 
should be placed where the soil is naturally well 
drained, or drainage should be provided. The soil 
should be good garden loam. If it is poor, remove the 
top 8 to 10 inches, spade up the bottom, mixing in 
some good manure and replace the top portion with 
good top-soil, letting it settle well before planting. 
The Roses should be planted about 12 to 15 inches 
apart each way, varying the distance somewhat, de- 
pending on the vigor and spread of the varieties se- 
lected. 
All Roses should be planted as soon as received. 
But the bundles can usually be kept intact for a week, 
if kept in a cool dark place. If delayed in planting for 
more than one week, remove the plants from the 
bundles, and hill them in carefully in a shady and 
moist place, until wanted. 
When planting in the fall, no pruning is necessary 
but cutting back to 6 to 8 inches can do no harm. 
Immediately after planting, hill the soil around each 
plant for at least 6 inches. 
When planting in the spring, trim the branches back 
to 4 to 5 inches. If planting late in the spring, when it 
is warm, and it often is after the middle of April, hill 
the soil up slightly and keep the plants shaded from 
the sun for several weeks; water well each day. 
Full planting directions are sent with each shipment, 
and one should read them carefully before proceeding 
with the job. 
Best for Roses is A.C.P Rose and Floral Dust, a 
complete insecticide and fungicide, which can also 
be used as a spray. It stimulates plant growth and is 
harmless to foliage or blooms. It is convenient, easy 
and pleasant to use and is triple acting. It can be 
purchased at most seed stores or in any garden de- 
partment of general stores If you cannot secure it 
locally, please write to us and we will secure it for you.
