Complete Rose-Gardens Our Specialty 



Our wide experience of over thirty years has given us an unusual education in the 

 best in Rose-garden practice. When time permits, before our busiest season, we take 

 pleasure in sharing our experiences with our customers who are just starting or are increasing 

 their plantings. 



During the past year we have had the satisfaction of being entrusted with the selection 

 of varieties and, indeed, with orders for the completion of several prominent Rose-gardens. 

 We are furnished, first, with the landscape architect's designs. With that as a basis, 

 we not only select the varieties but also locate them on a planting-chart which we forward 

 with or ahead of the Roses. This planting-chart simplifies the entire operation, both to 

 owner and workman. Please note that we are not landscape architects; we must have made 

 for us a plan of your garden, and then we will work out the planting details for you. 

 Write to us regarding your space and your wishes. We can help you to get the best in 

 Rose-work.

 1930, and one section contains 830 Star Roses. Many cities are beginning to realize the civic value of Municipal 

 Rose-Gardens which attract and delight more people than any other feature in the entire park system.

Pedro Dot, Spain, 1927. Introduced in America by The Conard-Pyle Co. 



The deliriously fragrant blooms are borne on 12 to 15-inch stems 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin has won two im- 

 portant Rose awards, one of which is the French 

 Bagatelle Gold Medal (1927) — the highest 

 international recognition that a Rose can receive. 

 In America, this unique climber won the first 

 John Cook Medal (1929) awarded by the 

 American Rose Society. On June 11, 1930, this 

 medal was presented by Robert Pyle to Senor 

 Pedro Dot at Barcelona, Spain, for Mme. Gregoire 

 Staechelin, "the best Rose introduced in the past 

 three years." 



The color of this Rose is unmatched. When 

 the sepals of the long-pointed buds begin to 

 divide, the first color is a deep maroon, but as 

 the bud develops into the rare and graceful urn 

 shape, that maroon stripe begins to "run" into a 

 graduated carmine, paling some as the bloom 

 expands into a large, semi-double cup, each 

 flower radiating a delightful fragrance of its own. 



The charming open blooms of iridescent pearl- 

 pink come but once a year, but as the buds come 

 three to five on the stem, opening one after the 

 other, the season is unusually long. 



The plant is extremely vigorous, growing easily 

 12 feet or more, each year climbing higher. The 

 foliage is beautiful olive color, ample and leathery. 

 Its hardiness has been proved by seven con- 

 secutive winters at West Grove. 



Being a true climber, Mme. Gregoire Staeche- 

 lin can be used for wire fences (the long branches 

 trained along the lateral wires), pergolas, tall 

 pylons; as pillars when twined around a stout 

 post, lamp-post, or telephone-pole. On the side 

 of a house it will eventually reach over the roof. 

 The most effective perfectly hardy climbing Rose, 

 providing hundreds of exquisite fragrant blooms 

 for cutting.
