Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Care and Culture of Roses, 1939 Any good garden soil is suitable for Roses. Most amateurs make the mistake of enriching the Rose-garden too much. Select a sunny situa tion away from trees and shrubbery. Spade deeply and make an opening large enough to receive the roots of the plant when spread out naturally. Place the plant in position and fill hole about two-thirds with top-soil. Water well, allow water to settle, and finish filling hole with soil. The plant should be set a little deeper than it grew in nursery. If any fertilizer is used, put it on top of the bed. After planting keep the Rose-bed well hoed but do not dig too deep - 2 inches is enough. During dry weather it is very important to water the Roses. Try to water them after the fashion of a good rain; allow the surface of the bed to dry, and then cultivate. Do not keep the bed soaked all the time. Roses like water, but good drainage is also essential. Mcclung Bros.' Roses are pruned for planting before being ship ped. They will need no more pruning the first season. The proper time for pruning is the next season just before he buds begin to swell in spring. At that time cut the stems back to within 5 or 6 inches of the ground.
