Plant i< Star Roses This Fall 



BE REWARDED WITH QUANTITIES 

 OF ROSES ALL NEXT SEASON 



IN THE minds of many people there still remains an old-time fear, or superstition, thai Roses 

 planted in the fall will not live through the winter. There is little basis for this idea. The Rose is 

 really a type of flowering shrub — and people have no fear of planting shrubs and trees in the fall. 

 A Rose is a high-bred type of shrub that, like many other shrubs, does require some winter protection. 

 If the same protection' is given to Roses newly planted in the fall as is given to other plants, there 

 need be no fear of winter-killing. Roses, budded Roses, such as our Star Roses, can be adequately 

 protected merely by hilling the earth around the stalks to a height of from 6 to 9 inches. There may 

 be local conditions! such as soggy soil, which are injurious to Rose-growth and winch may result in 

 the loss of the Rose plant in a hard winter, but these failures arc not to be confused with the cold of 

 the winter. In any case, you run no risk, for Star Roses are guaranteed to grow and bloom. 



Last fall we planted over 600 Star Roses in our own display Rose-Gardcn. Every Rose came 

 through the winter splendidly. Not a branch seemed touched until near the end of March, when 

 withering, drying winds blackened the majority of branches unprotected by the hilled earth. The 

 blackened branches looked discouraging, but beneath the earth-covering the plants were plump, 

 green, and healthy. Those fall-planted roses, when spring came, grew with astonishing vigor, and we 

 had a glorious show for the hundreds of visitors who came to the Star Rose-Garden. Even through 

 the summer this wonderful showing continued, and we have every promise of quantities of gorgeous 

 blossoms in this garden until hard frost. 



Fall planting is desirable for many reasons. It gives the Rose plants an opportunity to get the 

 "feel" of the ground, for the roots to become well placed and all ready to grow with the first spring 

 days. 



Because of our own repeated experiences, we feel that you will make no mistake in fall planting. 

 Indeed, some highly successful Rose-growers, even in Michigan and Maine, get^ their plants in the 

 fall, direct from Star nurseries, and when planted and pruned, cover them with soil completely. 

 With such treatment Star plants have come through the severest northern winters, plump, fresh, and 

 vigorous, ready for an early start. 



We heartily recommend fall planting for Star Roses. They are sturdy and they are guaranteed. 

 Order at once!

iroouv. de Georges rernet Kose (, color on front cover ; 



The blooms are very large, double, well-formed, and freely produced. They 

 have a heart-appealing color of brilliant pink, overlaid with an orange glow, which 

 turns to shining carmine-pink when the sweetly perfumed flower is fully open. 

 There is such a sheen in the color that the petals seem to be made of glistening 

 Oriental silk. The plant is rather spreading in growth and makes very strong, 

 thorny canes, furnished with healthy, disease-resistant, dark green foliage. Rose 

 enthusiasts who compete at Rose shows need this new variety, for it is a wonder 

 for size, form, and color, and a prize-winner. (See front cover.) 

 The Conard-Pyle Company: Covington. Ohio, July I, 1926 



I have between three and four hundred roses; most of the Hybrid Teas, or at least the 

 best performers, came from The Conard-Pyle Company. We think Souv. de Georges Pernet 

 is a wonder. I had a bloom from it 6 inches across, and my friend, Mr. Shaffer, had pne 

 bush with 20 of these immense blooms on it at one time. — Clyde U Koark.
