HAVE ROSES in your GARDEN... ROSES TO CUT! 

DEPENDABLE GARDEN ROSES 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Ordinary garden conditions, a soil that will grow vegetables, and reasonable care will produce surprisingly good 
blossoms from June until heavy frosts. No flower approaches the Rose in continuity of bloom or has its appeal as a cut-flower. Many new 
varieties have been added in recent years, increasing the color-range and at the same time making it possible to select varieties that can be 
grown without too much cultural attention. The beginner, however, will do well to consult one of the many good books available, such as “How 
to Grow Roses,”’ and join the American Rose Society. 
Multiflora Japonica is the best rootstock; it produces strong, fibrous root-systems and is thoroughly at home under our New England conditions. 
With few exceptions, our plants are grown on this stock.
