All Are Everblooming 
(Test Garden 
No. 3002) 
Mme. Denoyel was busy in her Rose Gardens in Lyon, 
France, her fair land yet untouched by the Nazi 
scourge. The book ‘‘Mrs. Miniver’’ had not been 
written; history was not quite ready for that heroine 
to undergo her ordeal of total war. Yet destiny used 
the hands of Mme. Denoyel to create this spectacular 
Rose that was to bear the Mrs. Miniver name, and 
brought E. S. Boerner of the J. & P. Dept. of Plant 
Research into her gardens that summer day in 1939 
when the first flowers were in bloom. Way across 
the field that day in France, he was struck with its 
spectacular beauty and immediately secured the few 
precious buds he could bring back to America, with 
exclusive American rights. So when MGM came 
to J. & P. for the Rose to name ‘““Mrs. Miniver,’’ it 
was Mme. Denoyel’s Rose blooming in Newark, New 
York, where it had found sanctuary in the free soil 
of appreciative America. It took till now to propa- 
gate enough for the tremendous quantity American 
Rose-lovers will want to plant this fall.

Roses on preceding pages, many of our testers want to call it a Flori- 
bunda. You may use it anywhere Floribundas can be used, as well 
as in the beds of Hybrid Teas. Particularly extolled for the trim, 
pointed buds, profusely borne, often in clusters.
