and cared for..

broken roots or shoots.

. inches deep, depending on the size
of the bush.

'.ter of the hole with fine soil until
there is a mound on which to rest
the center of the root system be-
neath the base of the plant.

.the center �f the roots on the top of
that mound and spread the roots
out over the soil. Work with the soil

Roses require nitrogen, , phos-
phorous and potash as primary ele-
ments thr their healthy growth, and
'these can be obtained from corn-
mercial fertilizers or from natural
materials. Feeding should begin in
early. spring and be done as often as
necessary. Sow the fertilizer two to
three inches into the soilAurround-
ing the plant 'perimetaer; and water
immediately afterwards. ,
Roses, require a good sQaktni; at
least once a week. and rainfall ;is
often not -sufficient. At least an inch
of water --enough to soak to the
roots—should be given to the plant
each week. A. mulch is not a neces-
sity for roses. but it can help protect
roots from 'high temperatures in the
