MANURE THOSE ROSES
The display of roses depends entirely on new wood growth. _ Pruning will help this, but manuring is also ’of great assistance. Newly planted rose bushes must certainly not be supplied with manure except perhaps a light scattering of bonemeal. After pruning is a good time .to manure roses. After the roots have become active and tho first buds have formed is manuring most beneficial. Roses aro gross feeders, and if they aro vigorous, well-established and heal the they will appreciate almost any kind of manure. Cow manure, among natural fertilisers, is the best. Fowl manure am' spent soot aro valuable for colouring roses Liberal use of soot may br made when tho roses are coming into bud If these manures aro not available, bonemeal, at the rate of 4oz to the square yard, will act effectively, and some special rose manure "given during tho flowering season will bo of great benefit
