WINTER PRUNING
January and February are
the ideal times to prune trees.
Pruning is best (fone during
this timeframe because the
trees do not bleed and the bark
is not active. Therefore, there
is not a tremendous amount of
bark damage when pruning is
done.
It is important that
growers remove any limbs that
will interfere with normal
equipment operation in the
grove. It is best to prune these
trees back to the Ease of the
tree and not leave stubs. If
stubs are left on a pecan tree
then they tend to rot back in
to the interior of the tree.
Growers should also use
this winter period to thin
groves if needed. Many times
old pecan groves have been
allowed to %:ecome extremely
tight and there is not enough
light to penetrate into the or
chard and give good consistent
production. It is best to mark
these ?oves by variety and, if
possible, to remove umzesirable
varieties such as Frotcher,
Mobile and seedlings. This
opens up the better varieties
such as Stuart and Schley so
that more production is obtain
ed from the more desirable
trees.
The only time that total
trees can be cut out is during
the dormant season. This is
because as the tree is cut it will
normally scrape adjacent trees
and during the dormant season
the bark is tight and will not
slough off. If thinning is done
too late in the spring or during

the summer, then there is
much bark and limb damage.
WHERE TO PLANT ROSES
Many rose failures can be
linked directly to poor site loca
tion. Pick a site that will give
your plants sufficient sunlight
and good soil drainage. Roses
need at least six hours of direct
sunlight a day. If you're after
specimen blooms, the plants
will need even more than this.
Of course, there are instances
where you cannot avoid some
shade during the day. If you
have such a location, pick a
spot where the plants will get
morning sun. You will have
less trouble with leaf diseases
in such a location because the
morning sun will dry the dew
from the foilage.
GOOD SOIL
Next to sunlight, nothing is
more important in successful
rose culture than the soil. The
soil in a rose bed or garden
should be well aerated and
drained, and in a pH ranui;e bet
ween 5.5 and 6.5. It should also
be able to retain sufficient
moisture for optimum plant
growth.
Plan to plow or spade the
area throughly to a degth of
10-12 inches. Preparing the soil
in an entire bed instead of dig
ging individual holes is strong
ly recommended, as it will
result in better root growth.
QUALITY BUSHES
You can expect to pay
higher prices for Eetter quai)ity
rose %ushes. Buy from
reputable sources — a licensed
garden center or nursery, an
established rose company or
from a well-known mail order
house. Just remember, cheap
plants are just that — cheap,
and will often produce poor
growth and flowers the first
year. Rose plants are usually
graded No. 1, 12 and 2 based
on size and number of canes.
Grade No. 1 indicates top
quality. These plants have
three to five heavy cans (3/8
inch in diameter or larger) 18
inches long. Grade No. 172 will
have two canes 15 inches long.
Grade No. 2 will have two
canes 12 inches long.
