Good Roses 



That every high-class, worth-while New Rose 

 from any nation shall, when thoroughly tested, 

 be included and that every poor Rose shall be 

 omitted from the Star Rose Catalog — that is 

 our ambition. 



RESEARCH DEPARTMENT. To insure 

 for our patrons both such security and 

 up-to-dateness we maintain a Research 

 Department to search for every new Rose, and 

 to test out those worth trying. By frequent 

 trips to Europe, by visiting leading Rose shows 

 and nursery exhibits, we get important advance 

 information. We control, for America, the entire 

 output of many leading European hybridizers. 

 But these Roses, too, we test with utmost care, 

 selecting only those suited for introduction here. 



Thus the Star Sign becomes more than a guide 

 to a well-grown plant; it also marks the tested 

 varieties which deserve places in the best gardens. 



EXPERT ADVICE. For revitalizing old gar- 

 dens or for establishing new ones, our expe- 

 rience enables us to be particularly helpful. 

 Interviews may be arranged on request. We plan 

 and plant new Rose-gardens (see page 17). 



LECTURES. Garden Clubs and Horticultural 

 Societies usually desire to devote one meeting 

 a year to Roses. It helps so much to have 

 authoritative information. We will provide both 

 lecturer and a choice collection of colored lantern 

 slides. Write for terms. 



"How to Grow Roses" is a book of over 200 

 pages — fine for winter reading or spring use. (See 

 details, page 16.) 



"Success with Roses'* combined with "Rose 

 News" is the title of a little paper we publish 

 about four times a year. It is full of interest re- 

 garding Roses, places, and people. One section of 

 each number is entitled "What to Do in Your 

 Garden." 



To the customers of 1935 it will be sent on re- 

 quest; to others, for 10 cents a year, postpaid. 



VISIT STAR ROSE-GARDENS. West Grove 

 is on U. S. Highway No. 1, 40 miles from 

 Philadelphia, 60 miles from Baltimore, 10 

 miles south of Lincoln Highway at Coatesville. 



There are 100,000 Roses in bloom for you to en- 

 joy from June till frost. Come any hour, any day. 

 Visitors always welcome !

^Duquesa de Penaranda 



H.T. (P. Dot, 1931.) Coppery apricot. This Rose 

 produces two distinct types of flowers: During the 

 summer the pointed buds are a blend of apricot- 

 orange and dark pink, opening to splendid blooms 

 of coppery apricot. The autumn flowers are just 

 about as beautiful as it is possible for a Rose 

 to be. Great brownish buds open slowly to finely 

 formed flowers, 4 inches in diameter, of a luscious 

 cinnamon-peach shade which words cannot truly 

 describe, and this rich color lasts. It is sweetly 

 perfumed. 30 petals. Gold Medal of the King, 

 Barcelona, 1929; Certificate of Merit, Ontario Rose 

 Test-Gardens, 1933. 

 $1.50 each.f
