The clubs are sponsoring the
planting of roses this fall, most Of
them urging that orders be placed
so that the bushes will be received
by November 20. Fall-planted roses
can become well established by
spring. During the winter. when
the plants appear dormant, their
roots actually make growth when
ever the soil temperature rises =
few degrees above freezing. This
leads to larger and better blooms
than might otherwise be obtained.
Here is some advice from the Po-
tomac Rose Society:
Consider your color schemes.
Look over the catalogues carefully
and select the best from all sources.
Perhaps you may decide it would
be better to have two or three or
more of the same variety. Consider
the shape and form Of your beds
