that everyone enjoys no plant has dethroned the rose as the queen of flowers and yec many of our productive gardens yield never a rose bloom we can however grow roses and good ones almost anywhere in ontario but to do so certain funda mental requirements have to be observed much depends ona favorable loca tion it is advisable to keep it away from the walls of the house the soil next to the building is usually too dry for roses the radiation from the building itself is sometimes very try ing this action together with the confinement and lack of free circula tion of air are favorable to mildew and red spider the aspect of the rose garden should be such as to provide abun dance of light and free circulation of air and at the same time sheltered from exposure to cutting northwest winds a southwest or southeast ex posure is usually good it is a mistake to mix up roses with other plants for the reason that roses need all the plant food usually avail able and the soil needs frequent culti vation beds should not be wider than will accommodate two rows of plants so laid out as to be easily reached from either side indeed a single row might be preferable be cause the gardener should be able to prune the plants and cut the blooms without the discomfort of crowding between the more lusty members of his thorny family better air cir culation is also thus provided roses need good soil ground that will produce fine crops of tomatoes corn or even potatoes with a little special preparation can be depended upon to yield fine roses the best soil is a heavy loam roses require intensive fertilization rotted stable manure and bonemeal are probtbly the best fertilizers to make a rose bed excavate to a depth of two and onehalf feet then fill with alternate layers of soil and manure each about four inches thick mixed and dramped as the filling pro ceeds until the bed is four inches higher than it was before the digging began bonemeal can be thrown on the pile of excavated earth a safe rule for using bonemeal is one pound for each two square feet of bed sur face but mixed well through moist soils are more or less acid and a few pounds of hydrated lime scattered on the top of the finished bed will help to modify such a con dition the bed in ten days will be ready for planting roses for outdoor planting are found in the hybridperpetual and hybridtea classes the former bloom profusely in june and july and some varieties bloom also in september the hybridtea varieties bloom con linuously through the summer and fall months and the variety of colors and shadings is greater the hybrid- teas are more tender requiring bet ter winter protection dormant stock is best for outdoor planting because it has been field grown and has already survived at least one winter with most plants it is the custom to set them one or two inches deeper than they were previously but in planting roses the bud or joint near the root is to be t two to three inches below the surface of the bed when planting prune the tops to two or three buds by low pruning new growth will start low down pro- i ducing more longstemmed flowers and the appearance of the bed is im proved by kesping the growth low for freedom of bloom roses require considerable moisture and during a period of dry weather water them as the rain does by wetting the earth to a depth of four or five inches and letting this answer for a few days if the beds are raked frequently a dust mulch is created that helps re tain the moisture light soil requires more water but a well prepared bed obviates the necessity of constant
