PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

Roses can be planted in the early spring or in the fall before the ground
freezes. Roses are heavy feeders and the beds should be well prepared,
spading it very deep and manuring heavily with well-rotted manure.
The beds should be well drained. Plants should be set i8 inches to 2 feet
apart and the collar or place where it is grafted should be i inch below the
surface. When setting, spread the roots over as large an area as possible
and work the soil amongst them. Then tread the soil down firmly and
water thoroughly. Keep them well watered until well established. A
top dressing with ground bone early in the spring and again about July ist
is very beneficial. A summer mulch of peat moss will keep the bed from
drying out quickly. New plants should be cut back to within six inches
of the ground. Old plants should be pruned in April, cutting them back
one half to two thirds of the previous season’s growth.

For winter protection, hill the earth up around the plants 8 or 10 inches
deep and when this is frozen cover the bed with strawy manure or
leaves.
