MANURING ROSES.
When roees are planted in new soil they rarely need manure the first season, although the question of manure depends upon the class of soil where the roees are planted. A rose can be overfed as well as etarved. In most gardens liberal feeding is essential to good results. Cow manure is by far the best to use either as a mulching or in the form of liquid manure. Well rotted pig or horse manure is also useful. Boncdust applied during winter is also beneficial. Good results are obtained by the use of liquid manure applied just as the buck are forming. A good liquid manure is made by getting half a sugar bag of cow manure and let it soak in a tub of water for two days. Remove the sugar bag of manure and dilute the liquid with twice its bulk of water. This is quite fiafo and can be applied all through the j growing season.
