Koses will grow in any fertile ground, but are much improved in bloom, fragrance, and beauty by rich soil, liberal nuinuring, and good cultiva- tion. The ground should be subsoiled and well sjiaded to the depth of a foot or more, and enriched by digging in a good coat of cow manure or any fertilizing material that may be convenient. Renew old beds by decayed sods taken from old pasture land. Planting. When the ground is thoroughly jirepared—fine and in nice condition— put in the plant slightly deeper than it was before, spread the roots out evenly in their natural position, and cover them with fine earth, taking care to draw it closely around the stem, and pack firmly down with the hand. It is very important that the earth be tightly pressed down on the roots. Budded Roses should be planted three inches below the bud. Always select an open, .sunny place, exposed to full light and air. Roses appear to best advantage when planted in beds or "Watering. If the ground is drj' when ])lanted, water thoroughly after i)lanting, so as to soak the earth down below the roots, and, if hot or windy, it may be well to shade for a few days. After this not much water is refjuired, unless the weather is unu.
