There’s an undeniable thrill in the new things of 
life. The high hopes of a New Year . . . the amazing 
speed of a new train . . . the magnificence of a new 
car . . . the exquisite loveliness of a new bride . . . 
the arrival of a new baby; there’s no question that 
they are all quite exciting. 
So here’s to the New Roses! Not to the limited 
number of pinks, reds, whites, and some yellows 
available at the turn of the century, but to the delicate 
shadings of orange-coral, chamois, apricot, flame, and 
their infinite combinations that we expect and admire 
in the New Roses of today. 
Certainly the world of human ingenuity moves for¬ 
ward. Just as modern science has given us stream¬ 
lined automobiles, air-conditioned homes, electric 
refrigeration, etc., we now have “new-model” Roses 
which are not only surprisingly beautiful, but health¬ 
ier as well, for science has shown the hybridizer how 
to improve the breed and eliminate weaklings— 
A Toast to the New Roses!
