Are the new Roses any better than the older kinds? 
The answer is, emphatically, yes! Each new Rose 
has bred into it some improvement of color, perfume, 
hardiness, or resistance to disease, making it distinctly 
more desirable than older varieties which possess these 
valuable traits in lesser degree. Furthermore, the 
best of Jackson & Perkins modern Roses are patented 
for your protection, to insure your receiving genuine, 
true-to-name plants of first quality. There are pleasures 
and thrills to be found in growing modern Roses that 
no commoner varieties can give. They will keep your 
garden a place of beauty and fragrance long after the 
older types have lost favor. They will require only a 
minimum of care and cultivation. And of all your 
Roses, they will be the ones most admired by your 
friends and neighbors who know choice flowers.
