Widely considered to be the finest and most beautiful 

 Rose in the world. 



The Curator of the International Rose Test Garden 

 in Portland, Oregon, calls it "Superlative. A milestone 

 in Rose progress." 



Since the introduction of Peace, the American Rose 

 Society has published, in its Annuals, page after page of 

 comments on this Rose, from home Rose growers all 

 over the country. Never before, for any Rose, has such 

 a widely unanimous approval and enthusiasm been 

 expressed. Here are soijie samples of these published 

 comments. (Names and' addresses of those making the 

 following remarks may be found in the Annuals and are 

 not repeated here in order to save space.) 



"This is a super Rose on a super bush; canes like fishing 

 poles; huge globular yellow buds open into blooms that 

 flush pink and age very slowly and attractively." 



"This Rose should be in everyone's garden. It has all 

 the qualifications a Rose should have. No. 1 Rose in 

 my garden this year." 



"An extraordinary Rose destined to be planted uni- 

 versally. Big, stately buds unfurl with ever-changing 

 hues much like a colorful sunrise. The open flowers 

 present a pleasing blend with shimmering iridescence that 

 is truly heavenly." 



"The winner of them all. Beautiful in all stages of 

 bloom from bud to wide open." 



"Has been outstanding; plenty of blossoms, all different 

 and all good; disease resistant." 



"Magnificent, stupendous and terrific! The pride of 

 them all." 



"Give me a red one like this and I shall die happy." 

 "This is it. Indescribably beautiful." 

 "A wonderful Rose, almost always in bloom; cannot 

 praise too highly." 



"My idea of a real Rose. It has everything." 



"Best Rose in my garden — best I have ever seen!" 



"Have never had or seen such a Rose. Surpasses all 

 advertising copy. A definite must. No mildew or black- 

 spot; still full of buds October 2, and going strong." 



"One of the answers to a Rose-grower's prayer; has 

 everything, including a healthy plant with good foliage, 

 easy to keep clean." 



"Does not change color after being cut; lasts well and 

 bloomed in 100 degrees." 



There are hundreds of such comments. The rating of 

 Peace by all ARS members reporting has averaged 9.5 

 out of a possible 10 for 5 years. Considering diff'erences 

 in taste, it is truly amazing that any one Rose could be 

 so universally admired. Yet if you grow it in your garden 

 you can see the reason why. The gallant way those 

 mighty stems lift the proud blooms endears it to the 

 heart of any gardener. The sparkling freshness and ever- 

 changing beauty of the blooms brings a lift to the spirit 

 of almost everyone who sees it. If you have room for 

 only one Rose, plant Peace. If you are blessed with 

 greater garden space, plant as many as you can. They 

 will repay you. $2 ea.; 3 for $5.
