HENDERSON’S 
FAMOUS 
ROSES 
“Round every flower there gleams a glory, bequeathed by antique song and story.” 
Both ancient and modern writings abound in allusions to the beauty of flowers; but to no flower has such universal homage been 
paid as to the Rose, the acknowledged Queen of the Garden. In ancient Greek and Roman times, on through the middle ages and 
down to modern days, poets and writers of all countries have sung their sweetest songs in praise of, and borrowed their most engaging 
similes from, some feature or characteristic of the Rose. 
“ Oft has the poet’s magic tongue the Rose’s fair luxuriance sung.” 
It has a permanent place in the history of nations and in the lives of famous individuals, its impress on civilization is broader and 
deeper than all other flowers combined. Other flowers have their periods of recognition or fashion and are popular for a time, but interest 
in them waxes and wanes; not so with the Rose. It has an attractiveness and beauty possessed by no other, so that human kind 
from civilization’s dawn has been unwavering and constant in its admiration of the Rose. It is today and probably ever shall be, the 
most admired and loved of all floral creations; the Queen of Flowers— par excellence. 
We have collated and printed at the foot of each of our Rose pages a thought or sentiment derived from the works of ancient and 
modern writers which wc think will be pleasing to lovers of the Rose.
