Old-Fashioned Set 



No matter how many new varieties of Roses 

 are introduced, and there are over 12,000 

 of them, a certain few always will be known 

 as the old stand-bys — the old-fashioned Roses 

 — the Roses which bring up visions of the 

 great bushes in our grandmother's garden — 

 the Roses which are associated with so many 

 things of our childhood. Their names are 

 all familiar to you, and the strong, sturdy 

 plants are just the kind grandmother used 

 to plant, procuring them in many, many 

 instances right from this very place.
