THE AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY 
first organized in 1899, now includes thousands of rose-lovers well distributed in forty-three American states 
and sixteen foreign countries. It is the largest and strongest organization in America devoted to one flower, 
and it is growing continually in membership, facilities, and influence. 
All new American roses must be registered with it and most foreign growers gladly send it advance information. It arranges rose 
pilgrimages (five occurred in 1920) and great rose shows, and provides suggestions, medals, and certificates for the successful conduct 
of local rose exhibitions. The members of the American Rose Society have free access for information to the Committee of 
Consulting and Advising Rosarians, including the twenty men in America best fitted to answer such questions. 
THE AMERICAN ROSE ANNUAL 
is published exclusively for members and cannot be bought in book-stores. It is a ‘Yearbook of Rose Progress” 
which includes only original experiences and discussions from the world’s rose authorities as well as from scores 
of its acute and able members. A handsome cloth-bound book of permanent value, it is illustrated in color 
and sepia, and is accepted all over the world as an accurate, entertaining, and up-to-date publication necessary 
to every live rose-lover. 
For example, the 1920 American Rose Annual described and illustrated every important new rose in American or European com- 
merce, gave many accurate rose-bloom records showing rose behavior in various parts of the country, printed the last word on rose 
enemies, told experiences with budded and own-root roses, and provided scores of rose hints and rose stories of value and interest. 
A notable feature of the 1920 Annual was the first presentation of the epoch-making Rose-Zone Map, prepared for it by the Bureau 
of Plant Industry of the Federal Department of Agriculture and reproduced above.
