Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 152, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1915 — Roses in Lath Houses. [ARTICLE]

Roses in Lath Houses.

In choosing roses for planting In lath houses or places somewhat shady, extreme care must be paid to choosing sorts known to be free from mildew. First-class drainage of soil will do Bauch to overcome this fungus and It will prove a pleasant surprise to see how many roses will thrive in summer with little or no sun. A concrete building was erected on a lot adjoining a garden, on the south side. This threw in complete shade a half-dozen roses, and several others were thereafter in partial shade.- It was a pleasant surprise to note that In three years but two have been troubled with mildew, not badly however, and only at such times as others in full sun were also affected.
