State Extension Capital Plant dormant roses now UNIVERSITY PARK - Dormant roses are available now in a good choice of varieties. Plant them within the next few weeks before buds start to grow. Plant your roses in a sunny location and where water will not stand after a heavy rain, suggests James J. McKeehen, Delaware County Extension agricultural agent. The rose garden should receive at least a half-day of sun for best results. Dig generous-size holes for roses, so the roots can fan out normally without bending or curling. A good soil mixture for roses consists of one bushel of peat moss to four bushels of soil. One bushel of rotted manure may be mixed with six bushels of soil, and one-half pound of super-phosphate added to each seven bushel mixture. The bud union, or swollen “knuckle”, where the desired variety has been budded onto a vigorous understock, should be planted about one inch below the soil surface. This protects the bud union from the Summer drought and Wmter freezing. If you want to plant container-grown roses you can wait until May, since these are kept in a protected place by nurserymen until warmer weather is here. Days was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Council of Cooperative Extension Associations (PCCEA) of which Harrison G. Fair, Rl, York Springs is president. The organization is com prised of representatives of county Extension executive committees from 65 member counties. Executive com mittees serve m an advisory capacity to local Extension programs.
