Roses are perhaps the most universally admired of all flowers, and
few respond so well to the care of the cultivator. The earlier they
are planted in the autumn (October 15th to November 15th) the better
they will grow. Spring planting is fairly successful, provided the
roots are kept moist when out of the ground. Time, April 15th to May
15th.
Roses enjoy deeply worked and fertile soil, and may be grown in
specially prepared beds, or as borders. An open position, with a
south or southeast exposure is preferable. Pruning should be done
toward the end of March. When especially large blooms are desired,
only one should be borne on each stem, the remainder of the buds
being removed.
