OUR (NGI Bh)  snOewrs, 
WYANT has specialized in 
growing Roses. Floribundas, 
Climbers, Hybrid Teas, etc., are 
produced in over 200 varieties on 
the 43-acre gardens at Mentor, 
Ohio. Unlike many nurseries, 
WYANT grows all Roses for a 
FULL THREE SEASONS prior 
to shipment. The care they re- 
ceive in propagation and culture during this time, and the 
disease and pest controls used, result in a strong, branchy 
root system that gives WYANT Roses a longer life and makes 
them more vigorous and productive. 
WYANT Roses are grown on Multiflora Japonica stock. 
Cuttings are made in Winter, de-eyed to avoid later suckers, 
then bundled and heeled in soil. In the following Spring, 
they are planted. 
After the first season’s growth, these cuttings are lifted 
from the soil, their roots are trimmed and pruned to produce 
healthy, branchy root systems, and then they are replanted 
the next Spring 8 inches apart in rows 4 feet wide. 
These one-year-old cuttings are planted in fields that for 
four years have been especially prepared for this crop. Here, 
specific varieties are budded onto the one-year-old Multiflora 
Japonica stock. This grafting results in a vigorous, long-lived, 
free-blooming bush. These bushes are cultivated, fertilized 
and frequently dusted. 
All Summer long these fields are in bloom, and thousands 
of people drive hundreds of miles to see the extravagant color 
of these Rose bushes covering the land with incomparable 
beauty. 
At the end of three years, WYANT Roses are ready for 
shipment. First a special ‘“‘U’’-shaped digger gently raises 
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT 
WYANT ROSES 
them out of the soil from underneath, to avoid root damage. 
As the bushes are gathered, a preliminary grading takes place 
right in the field. The Roses are then taken to the storage 
cellar where they are final-graded, labeled, bundled and 
heeled in soil until actual shipment. 
A special, waterproof plastic film is used to wrap the 
bushes for shipping. Almost all the moisture in the 
bush is retained in this manner and provides the best 
possible start for future growth. 
Because of the extra care and know-how em- 
ployed in growing WYANT Roses, they are your 
best bargain at any price. WYANT Roses are 
listed as “best, high quality” by Consumers’ 
Digest.

NEW WYANT RITZ EVERBLOOMING CLIMBER | 
This new red Rose is the most everblooming of the ever- 
blooming Climbers. Great quantities of showy blooms appear 
almost continuously through Spring, Summer and Fall. Blooms 
are of medium size, and like a Floribunda, the masses of open 
blooms produce an expansive show. The bush grows 8 to 9 feet 
in height and it is extremely hardy because of its Setigera an- 
cestry. RITZ was produced by the late Mr. M. H. Horvath. 
One of his major ambitions was the development of hardy ever- 
blooming Climbers. RITZ is undoubtedly his greatest achieve- 
ment. Plant Patent pending.
