Dear Gardening Friends: 
As I pause for a moment from my busy 
schedule to look over the beautiful country- 
side from my office window, I am reminded 
of this nation’s new Beautify America Pro- 
gram. And as I enjoy the cool, natural 
beauty of the land around me, I cannot help 
but be deeply aware and proud of the role 
roses can play in this program. . . how much a part of our natural 
beauty roses are. The rose was, in fact, part of America’s natural 
beauty long before the arrival of the early settlers. 
The rose is the perfect plant for this beautification program for 
it has utility as well as beauty. It is this versatility of the rose 
which lends itself to so many uses in the Beautification Program. 
Roses are already being used for safety barriers as well as beauty 
along many of our highways. The Floribunda, Shrub Rose and 
Climber can be put to use to hide and beautify rusted fences, 
junkyards, storm sewers and ditches along our daily paths of 
travel. Roses can prevent erosion, provide decorative ground 
cover, enliven the cold steel and brick and stone of many com- 
mercial buildings and public grounds. This work is being done 
and more will be done by the Federal, State and Local govern- 
ments, aided and encouraged by interested citizens who truly 
desire a more Beautiful America. 
But the true beautification of America always has and always 
will be. . . right around the home. And here, too, utility as well 
as beauty make the rose the most popular and most widely grown 
of any ornamental plant, and for many reasons. Roses provide 
you with beauty from Spring through Summer until frost. . . 
They come in a great variety of shades and color; in many forms 
and sizes of flower. They vary in size from the tiny miniature 
rose less than an inch across to huge blooms, like Peace, more 
than six inches across. There is a kind of rose for just about every 
need and use around your home. Hybrid Teas like Indiana, Villa 
de Madrid and Mister Lincoln provide the more formal beauty 
plus classic blooms for cutting; Floribundas like Sunspot, Apricot 
Nectar and Fire King for the rose garden as well as hedges, 
borders, foundation plantings, etc.; special roses such as Sea Foam, 
The Fairy and Robin Hood provide the ultimate in hedges, 
screening, ground cover for banks and other hard-to-maintain 
areas . . . providing maximum beauty with a minimum of care. 
People who know and love roses are fortunate to have so great 
an opportunity and so versatile and beautiful an instrument with 
which to work the miracle of providing a more beautiful America 
for ourselves and for future generations. 
I do hope that you are enjoying the full benefits of all that roses 
have to offer . . . to you, your community and the nation. 
Sincerely, 
S. B. Hurron, Sr.
