Cloverset Potted Roses Are Sure to Bloom 

165 Climbers in 30 Sorts Make a Wonderful Sight in June 
Replanting our Cloverset Planted Roses is a very simple task 
indeed. After the permanent bed is located, and soil properly 
prepared as described in the following directions in this catalog, 
the hole, about 12 inches in diameter and of proper depth is dug, 
the Pot is removed from the Rose plant by slitting the pot with 
your pocket knife or peeling it off the ball of soil, and the plant 
is then set in the bed, without injury to the root system and 
consequently with no disturbance to the foliage or buds. 
Cloverset Planted Roses can be replanted in your Rose Garden 
any time during the growing season, Spring, Summer or Fall, 
without even showing the slightest wilt to either foliage, buds or 
blooms. 
We will have here in our Rose Gardens at Cloverset Farm 
in May 150 different varieties, all growing and blooming in our 
Cloverset Pots. You are invited to visit our gardens any time 
and select your plants for your own garden, picking out our best 
and largest roses. 
You, your family and your friends are invited to visit our 
gardens any time during the Summer and see the thousands of 
lovely Roses in full bloom at all times. 
ALL-AMERICA ROSE SELECTIONS 
All-America Rose Selections, A.A.R.S., an organization 
of 18 leading rose growers located in various parts of the 
country, was organized in 1938. The purpose of this organ- 
ization is identical to that of the All-America Seed Selec- 
tions, which has been in this group are well satisfied with 
its operation. The purpose of All-America Rose Selections is 
to select and introduce only deserving varieties of roses of 
real merit. In the past there have been many new and pat- 
ented varieties brought out which did not have enough merit 
to justify. 
Under the A.A.R.S., hybridizers of new roses have an 
opportunity to enter their varieties in A.A.R.S. trial gar- 
dens. There are fourteen official trial gardens located in 
various parts of the United States from East to West and 
from North to South. These gardens are sponsored by or- 
ganizations who have worthy and competent men to judge 
roses. 
These roses are planted and judged for two successive 
years. There are four separate scorings made—two during 
each year—once in the Spring and once in the Fall. New 
varieties are scored according to constitution, fragrance, 
florescence, size and shape of bloom, length of stem, hardi- 
ness, disease resistance and many other points. The varieties 
selected are permanent. They are here to stay with us and 

are the best that American and European hybridizers can 
produce. 
The following varieties have to date secured the award of 
All-America Rose Selections and we recommend them: to 
you as the tops in roses: 
HEARTS DESIRE, Patent applied for. (Price, $2.00 each.) 
Hearts Desire is a new 1941 All-America Rose Selection 
award. In fact, it is the only 1941 award made. The plant is 
vigorous and upright, producing long pointed buds and 
opening to high centered, large and fully double flowers 
with 30 petals. The color is uniformly crimson-scarlet, not 
fading with age. Intensely fragrant. 
CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG, Patent applied for. (Price, 
$2.00 each.) Charlotte Armstrong leads all varieties in 
the 1940 scoring and has received an unqualified reeommen- 
dation for 1941 by All-America Rose Selections. It is a very 
unique color with long slender blood-red buds opening to 
magnificent brilliantly colored open flowers, spectrum-red 
in cool weather, cerise in hot weather. The long stemmed 
blooms are produced in great quantities throughout the 
season and are ideal for cutting because they open slowly 
and are beautiful until the last petals drop. The strong, 
vigorous free-branching plants are luxuriantly clothed with 
handsome foliage. 
CALIFORNIA, Patent applied for. (Retails $2.00 each; 
$5.75 per 3.) The color is a glorious shade of ruddy- 
orange toned with saffron-yellow with the exterior of the 
broad petals overlaid with Saturn-rose in a dual tone effect 
of indescribable richness and beauty. Buds long and pointed, 
flowers of enormous size, reaching a diameter of 5 in. to 
6 in. Rich fragrance. Plants are vigorous and have a healthy 
glossy green foliage. 
APRICOT QUEEN, Patent applied for. (Price, $2.00 each.) 
Apricot Queen brings us lovely long pointed buds of light 
burnt-orange. The general color effect is rich, deep salmon- 
apricot with lovely tints of orange-yellow at the base of 
the petals and an occasional flush of phlox-pink as the 
flower ages. Rich fragrance. A good strong growing plant 
of bushy habit carrying bronze green leathery leaves. It 
may be correctly stated that Apricot Queen is a beautiful 
rose on an attractive plant. 
WORLD’S FAIR, Patent No. 362. (Price, $2.00 each.) First 
award of All-America Rose Selections for Floribundas 
1940 and given full rating in 1941. Secured awards at New 
York World’s Fair and San Francisco World’s Fair. Flowers 
bright red in color in deep blood-red, with pleasing spicy 
fragrance. Flowers when open have approximately 17 
lustrous petals making a display of a flowery mass of 
golden stamens. The foliage is bronzy giving a rich color 
to the whole plant. Both foliage and height are similar to 
any average Hybrid Tea Rose and with the richest red 
flowers makes a glorious garden display. 
DICKSON’S RED, Patent No. 376. (Price, $2.00 each.) 
Dickson’s Red was offered with a preliminary recom- 
mendation for 1940. It has a man’s lively color, holding a 
lustre on petal faces and continues its bloom through the 
season. Plants are erect and compact with productive, glow- 
ing flowers for cutting and garden display. This Irish Rose 
has an informal form and seems to stand the hottest sun 
undimmed. Rich green canes and foliage make a fine foil for 
warm red buds and flowers. 
FLASH, Patent No. 396. (Price, $2.00 each.) Flash is a 
climbing or pillar rose, reaching six to eight feet, and 
about the brightest flower in the garden. Flash opens a 
gleaming orange-scarlet, the most vivid of any pillar rose, 
and olive-green leathery ribbed leaves make a grand setting 
for such brilliant flowers, and fiery buds of chrome-yellow 
suffused with scarlet.
