PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DORMANT ROSES 
All orders are paid in advance and shipped in the order they were received, as soon 
as the new crop is dug in November. For extremely cold climates we hold individual 
orders for shipment March Ist, March 15th or April Ist, at the customers request. We 
never substitute without the customers consent and appreciate substitute selections 
being stated. © “= 
The important things in choosing your location are good drainage, at least half a 
day of full sun, and protection from very strong winds. It is advisable to spade the bed 
in advance to a depth of at least 18 inches. Well rotted cow manure is very good for 
spading in at this time, or this may be applied away from the roots when planting. This 
is the best Winter mulching fertilizer and should be applied on the rose beds in November 
and February, but not later. . 
When you receive your dormant roses, completely unwrap them and immerse in a 
bucket of water until planted. If you cannot plant immediately, bury them in moist soil 
for a few days. But plant them as soon as possible. 
Roses should be planted 2 to 3 feet apart. Dig a large enough hole so the roots 
spread out completely. Prune any broken roots. A mound of dirt in the center of the 
hole is very important, so the roots fit down naturally over it. The bud union, from where 
the branches start, should be even with ground level. It is best to run water in the hole 
as you fill in the dirt. There MUST NOT be any air pockets left around the roots or the 
rose will die. Water again several days later so the ground will settle firmly. 
Roses are susceptible to bugs and diseases. A Dormant Spray should be applied twice 
in the Winter. A combination spray for bugs and diseases should be used every ten 
days thru the Summer. Good, reputable, especially prepared rose sprays are available 
at any garden supply store. 
We highly recommend a soluble fertilizer called ‘“RA-PID-GRO” for Spring and 
Summer fertilizing. It is high in the elements that roses require and so easy to apply. 
Mixed with water, pour some around each rose every two weeks, or spray it on at the same 
time as the insecticide, as it is also a foliage fertilizer.

“9t (4 never too late to plant Roses” 
We have roses for planting every month of the year. Several thousand roses are 
planted in tar-paper pots during the Winter months, left outside to grow naturally, and 
then be planted the year around. It is worthwhile to visit our Nursery in the Summer, 
choose your roses in bloom, take them home and plant them. Simply dig a hole in well 
worked ground, set the potted rose in the hole, slit the tar-paper pot, remove it without 
disturbing the dirt on the roots, fill in more soil and water. Then feed them ‘’RA-PID- 
GRO” and watch them thrive! 
POTTED ROSES ARE 25c MORE THAN CATALOG PRICE 
Potted roses are shipped by auto freight, the freight charges payable on delivery. 
Each potted rose weighs 13 Ibs.
