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. 
N.B. The descriptions of Patented Roses, other than Bobbink & Atkins introductions, are those furnished 
by the introducer, although we are growing them for ourselves on a royalty basis.
