In selecting a spot to plant your roses, choose one where they will have full sunlight all day, if pos- sible, and never near large trees or in shady situations, as the rose delights in a sunny, airy position. Roses are very partial to a clay loam soil, but will do well in any ordinary soil if well enriched with thoroughly rotted manure. In pre- paring the bed, dig it up thoroughly to the depth of twelve to eighteen inches, as rose roots penetrate deep when they have a chance. When you have planted keep the ground loose by frequent stirring to the depth of one or two inches. An occa- sional soaking with weak manure water is a great help to them, and will make your plants bloom freely and increases the size of the buds. This set of Roses are priced in small plants only, as they are new and'scarce.
