E ach year brings many new Roses—the creations of great Rose-growers throughout the 
world. Most of these newcomers are rigidly tested in our trial-gardens under the watchful 
observation of trained Rose-men. We then select and submit those we consider best suited 
for your garden. 
Please remember that some Roses do not attain full perfection the first year after planting. 
In many instances it takes two years for the plant to acclimate itself and to react to your entire 
satisfaction.
