GRIFFING’S ROSES 
Griffing’s Roses are known throughout the Southern States for their High quality and Productiveness. For years we have 
tested Hundreds of Varieties and selected a few BEST ADAPTED for our Southern Climate and soil conditions. 
Our Long Experience has shown us that many varieties have their merits. Customers who patronize us are safeguarded by our 
years of testing and choosing new Tried Varieties. Therefore, we are listing only the Varieties SUCCESSFULLY TESTED. 
ROSE SELECTIONS 
For fifty years we have been lead- 
ers in growing Roses. In our earlier 
days we gave attention to quantity 
production, growing tens of thous- 
ands in scores of varieties; however 
in recent years, we have specialized 
in a limited list, including those 
which average home owners can grow 
successfully without a great deal of 
attention. This list includes one or 
two dozen varieties, which, accord- 
ing to our experience, are best 
adapted to all conditions. These will 
give ample range of color for selec- 
tion. The Griffing Roses have been 
the choice of thousands throughout 
the Southwest. 
Among all the Flowering Shrubs 
that make for beauty, grace and 
ornamentation, there is none that can 
compare with the Rose. The great 
variety of color, shape and size of 
the blooms and the diversity and 
character of the foliage give it a 
wider range for decoration than any 
other single group of plants. When 
added to these qualifications, are 
ease of culture, quick and ample 
response in blossoms, it is not to be 
wondered that the Rose has been 
aptly termed the ‘‘Queen of Flowers’’. 
We realize that most peoole grow 
Roses for the flowers alone, and we 
are listing only Robes that bloom 
most of the year. Many persons 
who have had unfortunate experience 
with mildew on Roses have been 
asreeably convinced of the advant- 
age of nlantine carefully selected 
plants which are not subjected to 
mildew or blight.
