You may ask why all this talk about New Roses? Weren’t 
the Roses of grandmother’s garden beautiful enough for 
anyone? Most assuredly. Then why these New Roses? 
Just because the New Rose creations have the qualities of 
the Rose of 1775, 1860, or the “Gay Nineties’’—with some¬ 
thing more besides. Grandmother had her lovely Tea Roses— 
but she had to cherish them tenderly. Today we have the 
delicacy of the Tea Rose blossom plus the vigor of new racial 
strains; and in addition a color panorama that would send 
grandmother into ecstasies. 
Yes, even the Rose keeps step with the march of time. No 
wonder flags are flying and plant-lovers are moved with a 
pleasurable excitement, for here comes the parade of the 
New Roses. 
Out in front is Eclipse with a golden yellow bud, long, 
pointed—yes, even streamlined. It marches with a regal air 
for wasn’t Eclipse twice crowned? Next is Signora, the Titian 
or Botticelli beauty, with the grace and bearing of an empress 
of yore. And what are the bells so joyfully pealing? Why, it’s 
Carillon trooping her brilliant flame tints down the garden path. 
All these and more are mobilized from far and near quarters 
of the earth, a legion of “good soldiers’’—the results of the 
painstaking work of the leading Rose-men of Europe and 
America—Roses disciplined to conquer the Rose-gardens of 
America. 
Hats off to the New Roses!
