SUNSHINE ROSES 
ras SUNSHINE ROSES are a Teeter a3 our own and made strictly for the South where 
they are long-lived, hardly reaching a decline in life under 12 to 15 years of age. While 
they are extremely hardy and prolific in the South, they are not constituted to withstand 
the rigors of winter in the far North where the Multiflora understock is ideal for that 
climate but NOT suited to the South like the McKee understock is NOT suited to the 
North. The people of the South are just now learning that roses grown on the Multi- 
flora understock are short-lived—hardly surviving our climate more than 3 to 5 years, 
and they are a complete failure in the valley, in Florida and the entire Gulf and sea 
coast. Unfortunate for the rose-lovers of the South, about all of the roses grown here 
are on the Multiflora understock and it is because practically all that are grown—some- 
thing like ten million plants—are sold to the northern nurserymen and dealers. 
The McKees introduced the budding method of growing roses in 1874, and this 
method has now covered the nation and everybody calls for BUDDED roses and NOT 
roses on their own roots, and we are glad and delighted with what we have done in mak- 
ing BUDDED roses, the Queen of Flowers, popular throughout the nation, and g!adder 
still, that suitable understocks have been found for both South and North. 
At the present time, the South’s supply of McKee understock is confined to the 
S. R. McKee Nurseries & Rose Gardens. 
Very unfavorable weather conditions for the past three years, along with the 
shortage of labor, has cut down rose production very materially and, as a consequence, 
there will not be anything like enough plants to go around, so try to be content to do on 
fewer plants—say not over ten plants to a customer, until we can do better. 
ABBREVIATED LIST OF VARIETIES OF SUNSHINE ROSES AND PRICES
