If the low places between the roses can ‘be filled with heavy marure, protection will be provided â€" as well as needed fertility, but take care that it does not lie against the bushes. The ex, posed tops of the roses may be covered with evergreen bows, leaves, straw or whatever is available. ‘"The essential thirs in winter," says a bulletin prepared by John F. Clark, . lecturer in the Horticultural Branch of the Department, ‘"is to keep rose bushes dryv and shaded from the sun. Heavy protection, especially if it is wet, is bad and may cause injury. Mcst damage is caused by the alterâ€" nate freezing and thawirg which in late winter and e a r l y spr.ng, but continued zero weather is injurious to all except hardy roses unâ€" less they are properly protected." If it is not possible to remove the climbers, because they are trained to a wall or fence, cover them with burâ€" lap or an old carpet, or bags. Straw is also good if it is placed t h i c k cnough to keep out the weather.
