Roses All' Season Long
Roses are the essence of late
summer. Gardeners who are
photographers, painters or
sculptors, use roses all summer
long in every setting imaginable.
Roses are used for lawn
plantings, flower borders, for
growing on arbors and trellises,
as specimen tree roses, as
hedges, and as bedding plants.
No matter what their use, all
Corral a Kubota.
Do you need to level
the corral, clear a trail, or
clean out the stalls? Then
it's time for you to put a
Kubota tractor to work.
Kubota's Grand
L-Series gives strong,
versatile performance with
25-37 PTO HP diesel
engines. These environ
mentally friendly E-TVCS
engines set new standards for low emissions,
low noise and low vibration.
Your new Kubota will be easy and comfort
able to operate, with hydraulic steering, shuttle
transmission and optional shift-on-the-go.

of cut flowers to fill your house

Although the spring and
summer planting season is past,
many nurseries carry roses
throughout the summer and fall.
Fall planted roses require win

Roses grow best where they
have full sunshine all day. Some
roses grow satisfactorily if they
have only six hours of sun. If
your garden is shaded, plant
roses where they will have
morning sun. If leaves remain
wet with morning dew too long,
they may be susceptible to black
spot and several leaf diseases.
Roses are defined by their
habits of growth and are called
either bush, climbing or shrub
roses. Full grown bush roses
range in height from 1 to 6 feet
high and require no support
Climbing roses produce long
canes and must have some kind
of support such as a trellis or an
arbor.
Carefree landscape shrub
roses have a variety of growth
habits but often grow 5 to 6 feet
in height and spread. These
roses are low maintenance. They
require little if any spraying.
The fast growing ‘Meidiland’
Quick-attach front loaders
are designed and manu
factured by Kubota to give
you powerful lift capacity.
Ask your local Kubota
dealer to show you the
full selection of Kubota
tractors from 12.5 to 91
PTO HP. You'll want to
put one to work around
your corral.
