THE CORRECT WAY TO PLANT ROSES
Standard roses ought to be staked and tied before the holes are filled in, thus preventing any damage to the roots. When preparing new rose beds it is essential to see that no fresh manure is added. All manure that is used should be thoroughly well decayed, and should be incorporated with the lower spit, and it is most important that manure is kept from actual contact with the roots.
To apply nitrate of soda in the solid form, sprinkle a little on the surface round each plant and then water in. This method is best applied in damp weather, so that the nitrate is thoroughly dissolved and washed dQ\vn. If applied in dry weather and not watered in, it will only crystallise on the surface and the plants receive no benefit at all.
