HOLMES ROSES 
Florida Cultured 
To Prove They’ll Thrive in Your Garden 
They’re Florida Tested 
Before you ever have a chance to buy a Holmes Rose, 
it’s “‘pre-tested”’ in our Nurseries by actually being ‘““grown 
in Florida.”” New variety or old, every year Holmes tests 
in our garden to perfect adaptability. Weaklings are killed 
out in our garden, not in your garden. No store does this! 
For Florida Growing 
The result is that when you buy a Holmes Rose, you 
know it will grow in Florida. Don’t risk “‘imported’”’ Roses 
sold over the counter in cut-price stores. They’re fresh 
from other states, often die of “homesickness” for their 
native climate. With all this, Holmes prices are no higher. 
Holmes Roses never die of ““homesickness.”’
