Roses in Kansas.
I would like to know what manure that the farm can furnish to use for the bed of Monthly roses, also, must they be pruned or cut back the first year, and what treatment must I give them in the winter here in Kansas? Must I cut off all branches and cover the roots or wrap the branches?

Dig into the bed every spring a heavy dressing of well rotted stable manure. Protect the plants in winter with a covering of leaves or branches of evergreens, prune in spring and when needed at other times, so as to get a good growth of new wood.
