In planting all hardy or half-hardy roses, whether they are of the type that flower once in early summer, the hybrid perpetuals that bloom freely in June and again at intervals during late summer and autumn, or the hybrid teas that, if wisely selected and protected, combine the wintering ability of their hardy parents with the monthly blooming cross of the teas, it is best to plant dormant field-grown plants in October, or else as early in April as the ground is sufficiently dry and frost free.
Mulch hybrid perpetuals if a dry season, and give liquid manure for the second blooming. September. Stir the ground after heavy rains, and watch for tendencies of mould. October. The same. November.
In order to keep a succession of bloom it is absolutely necessary to keep the plant producing new branches, as flowers are only borne on new growth. It will be noticed that the treatment required by these Roses is almost identical, so far, with that advised for the Hybrid Perpetuals. Indeed, the latter are summer ever-bloomers of a stronger habit than the class I am now speaking about.
