*PEACE. 



(Mme. A. Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 591. An enthusiasm shared is one 

 .of life's true delights. Another is the 

 joy of seeing utter loveliness. In the Peace 

 Rose we have both. For three years, American Rose 

 Society reports and letters from our customers have 

 shown that our enthusiasm and joy in Peace is shared 

 to the utmost. We know of no other new Rose that 

 has brought so much dehght to so many different 

 people. It does well in all climates and its fresh, 

 radiant beauty gives a lift to the heart of almost 

 everyone who sees it. 



The 1948 American Rose Annual gives about 3^ 

 pages of brief comments, from all parts of the country, 

 from w^hich we quote a few. (Names and addresses 

 of those making the following remarks may be found 

 in the Annual and are not repeated here in order to 

 save space.) 



"If I were limited to one Rose, I should choose 

 Peace." "Exquisite in every stage." "No complaints. 

 Wonder if we will ever find anything wrong with it." 

 "The blue ribbons this Rose has won across the 

 country are comments enough." "Wonderful! 

 Superb! Colossal!" "Best Rose I have seen in 58 

 years of Rose growing!" "Most beautiful flower that 

 grows." "Have never seen a more beautiful Rose." 

 "Too beautiful to be true. It has no faults." "This 

 Rose needs no comments. There are none to com- 

 pare." "No comments necessary. This is the Rose!" 

 "Breath-taking. The most beautiful thing on earth." 

 "Deserves everything good said about it." "Has 

 just about everything including drought-resistance." 



"Lives up to its reputation in every way. Crimson 

 Glory, move over." "Anyone can have prize- 

 winning blooms in their own back yard with this 

 plant." "Consider it the best Rose of all. It has 

 everything." "Plants improve with age. Color al- 

 ways different and interesting." "Voted Rose of 

 Montana on July 8, 1947. Blooms magnificent. 

 Very hardy." "A most interesting Rose. Last to 

 show blackspot." "Blooms are spectacular. My 

 plants are runts compared to others I have seen 

 but the plant habit is good." "Outstanding in every 

 way. The first time in 8 years that any one Rose 

 has been the unanimous choice of all our visitors. 

 Two hundred and ten Roses so far." "Endures our 

 rough winter as well if not better than any other 

 Hybrid Tea." (That from North Dakota.) "A Rose 

 grower's dream." "Why try to describe it? Just 

 grow it." "Royalty in the garden." "Hardy, husky,, 

 healthy, heavenly." (That's from Vermont, where 

 hardy means hardy.) 



There are many more in like vein. If you have 

 never seen this Rose, the excitement over it must 

 seem exaggerated. It has to be seen, as the pictures 

 do not do it justice and there is no other Rose like it. 



In fact, those who grow it can best enjoy its full 

 enchantment for it changes from day to day in 

 glorious variety. Plants $2 ea. ; 3 for $5.
