ROSES ror ivas 
Where you see this seal appearing 
beside a rose listing, you may be 
sure it has exceptional merit. AARS 
means “All-America Rose Selec- 
tion,’ the choice of a national non- 
profit organization of experts. To 
receive approval, a rose must prove itself for 2 years under 
close observation by AARS judges, in test gardens located 
from coast to coast and border to border. A rose must satisfy 
in all climates, and be outstanding in form, color, foliage, 
and other attributes. Only the top-scoring roses earn the 
coveted AARS seal. Roses listed on this page are ‘’All- 
America Rose Selections” for 1948. The varieties listed in 
this section that have earned this distinction are accom- 
panied by a reproduction of the AARS seal. We recom- 
mend them as the finest that you can buy.
