STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES 



ROSA, Rose, continued 



with intelligence and care. The manu- 

 script has been revised by Robert Pyle, 

 President of the American Rose Society, 

 and the species of the rose family inter- 

 spersed have been passed upon by Dr. 

 Alfred Rehder, of the Arnold Arboretum. 



Particular care has been given to the 

 determination of synonyms and of re- 

 named varieties. 



While not essential to the accuracy 

 of the names of the roses listed, there 

 are added to each the name of the origi- 

 nator or introducer and the year of 

 introduction, so far as ascertainable. 

 There is also appended a carefully sub- 

 divided classification. 



The length of the list is deplored. 

 Many of the varieties are so nearly iden- 

 tical that they could well be ehminated, 

 while others are of such minimum value 

 that they merely confuse and clutter up 

 the situation. It is hoped that before 

 long such rigid discrimination will be 

 given old as well as new rose varieties 

 as will tend to reduce the length of the 

 list. An average of nearly 150 varieties 

 come newly into commerce each year 

 and more than that number ought each 

 year to be dropped. 



In the United States, new roses 

 usually receive the scrutiny of the Re- 

 gistration Committee of the American 

 Rose Society before the names offered 

 are formally assigned to them, and 

 notification of each such new variety 

 offered for registration is sent to the 

 French and English rose societies, in the 

 hope of avoiding name dupHcation. 

 Cooperation in name scrutiny has been 

 also arranged with Canadian and Aus- 

 trahan rose organizations. There is 

 thus the beginning of orderly control at 

 least of names. 



The names of varieties that follow are 

 in accord with the code of nomenclature 

 adopted by the American Rose Society, 

 and are in every ascertainable case pre- 

 cisely as first published by the originator 

 or introducer. 



Suggestions, information, and criti- 

 cisms relative to this list will be cheer- 

 fully received by J. Horace McFarland, 

 Editor American Rose Annual, Harris- 

 burg, Pa.
