ROSES... 
The Most Versatile and Rewarding Plants 
for Your Home Grounds 
No plant in the garden is as popular as the Rose. . . and 
none deserves that distinction as much. The reasons are 
easy to see. 
In the first place, a Rose gives you more for your money than 
any other plant. It offers you blooms from spring through to 
frost. . . almost half a year, on any given day of which you may 
well count on at least one fine flower or one opening bud. If 
you have a dozen or so of different varieties, it is a certainty 
that your home will always have cut flowers in season. 
Then—the Rose is extraordinarily hardy and vigorous and 
will live and flourish and give you blossoms for many a year. 
Add to its bounty as a provider of flowers the fact that this 
plant is exceptionally versatile. Some Roses grow 12 feet tall, 
some grow 12 inches tall. Some grow tall and wide, and are so 
densely thick that they make a living barrier or fence . . . a 
fence that blooms! Other Roses grow like trees with a trunk; 
and like shrubs, standing alone. Some are literally covered with 
blooms, while others offer you their beauty more sparingly but 
more magnificently. 
There is a Rose to suit every requirement in your landscaping 
plan. There are ideal front-row Roses and middle-row Roses 
and back-row Roses. There are Roses for backgrounds, Roses 
for window boxes, Roses for rock gardens and for paths and 
borders and edges. 
There is a Rose also to suit every individual taste in color. . . 
reds, pinks, yellows, whites, lavenders. There are bicolors and 
blends and shades and tones. There is infinite variety among 
them. . . and the common denominator is beauty—Rose beauty. 
Even with a nature that’s so willing and generous, the Rose 
asks relatively little in return. Everything in your house and 
on your grounds requires some attention, some maintenance, to 
remain in top condition. So with the Rose: regular watering in 
dry weather, a dusting or spraying each week, a bit of feeding once 
or twice a season. That’s about all it needs to do well for you. 
Extremes in climatic conditions, of course, require special care. 
If you know Roses, you can appreciate the place 
they hold in the affections of America’s gardeners, for 
you understand their virtues. If you are a newcomer 
to the ranks—a new home owner, a beginner—don’t 
be afraid of Roses. There’s nothing delicate or finicky 
about them. To grow them successfully, all you need 
is a bit of ground and a spade. . . not a Ph.D. in 
Horticulture!
