American Rose Society Sponsors the 
Christening of the Rose PEACE 
As timely as sunrise it was, and as 
colorful, too. Forever historic were the 
events commemorated by the naming 
of this amazing Rose. 
Long-hoped-for peace in Europe 
dawned with the fall of Berlin. In 
immediate sequence, the American 
Rose Society, represented by Dr. W. W. 
Horsley of Lovell, Wyoming, was 
sponsor for the christening of this Rose 
at the annual show of the Pacific Rose 
Society, near the Rose Bowl in Pasa- 
dena, California. Under these high 
auspices Miss Jinx Falkenberg, famous 
Columbia star, with a drop of precious 
attar of loses, christened the first 
blooms of spring of this Rose, original 
plants of which had been spirited to 
America from burning Europe. She 
named it “Peace.” ‘Then to make more 
vivid the symbol of this blessing to 
mankind, all eyes present and a dozen 
cameras, moving-picture and otherwise, 
followed her motions as she released a 
white dove that gently poised a mo- 
ment on her fingertips and then winged 
its way across the blue California sky— 
The Dove of Peace bringing 
The Rose Peace to mankind everywhere.
