Everblooming Star Roses 



We guarantee these Roses to bloom within 12 

 weeks from planting or refund their cost 



These selected field-grown Star Roses can be 

 successfully grown by anyone who will follow the 

 clear, concise planting and cultural directions which 

 accompany every Star Rose order. Every plant is 

 guaranteed to bloom, so you can confidently order 

 what you want without fear of failure. 



The list comprises the best of the better-known 

 monthly-blooming Hybrid Teas, all the self colors 

 and the entire scope of color combinations. In fcrm 

 they range from those with single blooms of five 

 petals, like Dainty Bess, to those so double they 

 never show their centers. 



The descriptions are written from the Roses' as 

 they grow and bloom here in our Rose-fields, our 

 display garden, and our test-garden at West Grove, 

 in southeastern Pennsylvania, so you know what 

 to look for in Star Roses when they bloom in your 

 garden. Star Roses have an unusually fine start in 

 life as they are budded on the famous, vigorous- 

 rooted Japanese Multiflora understocks which years 

 of trial have proved the best of all 

 understocks to insure the finest 

 blooms. It pays to order early.
