SHOW AND EXHIBITION ROSES 
This requires a certain type of rose that opens very slowly and has large size. Tho 
according to judging rules a sweepstakes award could be given to any type of rose, even 
a single, if sufficiently knowledgeable judges were doing the judging, and all were 
judged to a standard of excellence and perfection of type. However, most all judges 
will lean to the exhibition type or show rose partly because most people expect this type 
to win, These are listed as to their value in the Pacific Northwest—not alphabetically but 
in their ability to win prizes. For instance, one which is possibly the best show rose in 
the hot and dry sections—Narzisse—is not even listed here as its first bloom in this 
area is usually poor yet in the rest of the U.S.A. it is perfect in form and slow opening 
as well as having a fine plant. Descriptions are for the cool sections as in the warmer 
sections the colors will be much lighter. 
MAURICE—This is a McGredy rose of salmon red in the spring shading to an orange 
salmon base; later in the summer it is a glorious orangy salmon. Comes in a lot of 
varied colors but always perfect and slow opening. It is a very heavy producer of 
splendid, lasting cut roses. 
McGREDY’S YELLOW—Another perfectly shaped rose. Pale yellow. A very heavy

McGREDY’S IVORY—This is a strong grower. If it is plastered with fungicides, 
then it is easy to win with it but who wants to stand over the D--- thing with a 
spray gun. Sure, I know it has won countless awards and will win many more but 
I don’t want the blank, blank in my own garden. In the dry air of Oklahoma or

THE DOCTOR—In the cool of the Puget Sound area or on the Oregon coast it is 
magnificent but when you get it away to where it gets 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 
more it is not happy. Many plant it on the north or east side of their homes to get 
part to considerable shade according to the part of the country they are in. In fact, 
I have such good plants of it this season that I feel its glorious, huge, fragrant, rich 
pink blooms are worth finding a place to plant it. Remember in all but the coastal 
areas or mountain states to put it in shade varying with your temperature. Where 
your temperatures go above 85 degrees, give it afternoon shade and if hotter give it 
more—that is the recipe for the magnificent and incomparable blooms of ‘The Doc- 
tor.” I have worked and worked with this variety and I am indeed proud of my 
results. The wood of this variety is pathologically weak and if subjected to strong 
sun will burn and then it will die back to the union. Finally the whole plant will 
die so be sure to put this variety where it gets afternoon shade . . . it is worth it!

PAUL’S LEMON PILLAR—This is a rather slow climber, one that can make the most 
magnificent blooms imaginable. It is one of the “must haves” for the ribbon collector. 
JULIA COUNTESS OF DARTREY—This is another which is tops for the Pacific 
coastal area. Color a deep rose shaded orange and carries about the same description 
as Paul’s Lemon Pillar except that it is more or less continual blooming. Blooms 
steadily in other sections of the country and would not be very much if it didn’t 
possess that distinct orange caste. The color fades badly in the hot climates.......$1.50
