BY WINTER MAY BE AIDED IN LATE SPRING The treatment of winter-injured rose bushes and other ornamental shrubs la a question In the minds jf many Jackson county home owners at this time, states County Agent L. P. Wilcox. Do not use the pruning shears too soon, the removal of damaged wood can best be done after growth starts this coming spring. At that time one can best determine the amount of damage done and the pruning neces t sftry to renew the top growth. When ' the new shoots are well established remove all dead tissue at a point Just beyond where the growth response has been made. This may be at the crown or ground surface In some cases while In others some distance from the crown. During the first season following the above treatment, care fof the new growth the same as a newly planted Individual and by proper pruning and treating the desired form will be ob talned.
