WHAT DOES THIS QS MEAN? 
It means that here is a sign which takes much of the 
gamble and guesswork out of buying new Roses. 
It means that no Jonger do you need to take one man’s 
or one firm’s say-so about the fine qualities of a new Rose. 
It means codperation rather than competition among 
the leading Rose-growers. 
It means that before new Roses are introduced they are 
sent to official and authentic test-gardens located in differ- 
ent sections of the United States, undergo a two-year 
official test under the supervision of the best American 
judges available at each garden (18 in number), located 
in different climatic sections. From this grueling test 
where each Rose is repeatedly and carefully scored, only 
those having the highest ratings are selected for final 
award. 
It is helpful to the purchaser. It points out the varieties 
that the Jeading Rose-men of the nation have agreed are 
the most meritorious varieties of the year. No Rose-man 
who has an interest in a Rose may vote on his own variety.
