OSE hybridists are ever at work 
R endeavoring to produce new and 
better Roses. All Rose-lovers owe a 
debt of gratitude to these pioneers who are 
pushing on to new frontiers. 
New varieties should be considered the 
“spice” and “dessert”? of Rose-growing. 
Standard kinds are the “‘entree,”” but when 
you know exactly what a Radiance or 
Etoile de Hollande or President Herbert 
Hoover will do in your garden, then there 
are greater thrills ahead when planting a 
Rose not only with a new name but with 
a new plant habit, and better form and 
color.
