“Oregon’s Best Source of Good Roses” 
This catalog marks the thirtieth year of producing roses by the firm of Peterson & Dering. 
Our nursery was formerly located east of Portland in what is known as the “Nursery Center”. 
After ten years in that locality, our nursery was moved to Scappoose, Oregon, in 1932. Scap- 
poose is 25 miles north and west of Portland. Our fields are located on the Scappoose Drainage 
District lands. The soil is heavy and hard to work, but it does produce a rose that is heavier 
for weight, durable for shipping and gives our customers real satisfaction. 
For years we have dusted our roses during the growing season regularly once a week. A 
large amount of topping is done to get as many breaks from the base of our plants as possible. 
Ordinarily in our particular vicinity we get frost in early October and after sufficient frost, 
digging of our roses is started in November. We try to have everything dug and graded before 
Christmas time. Each plant is placed in our modern cold storage cellars from which they are 
shipped during the months of December, January, February and March. 
As has been recognized by leading growers during the past 15 years, rose hybridizing is essen- 
tial to rose growers. We have joined in this thinking with others, and started our hybridizing 
rose program in 1949. We have many thousands of seedlings in the field and a satisfactory 
percentage of them are looking very promising. In another few years, when we have worked 
up the stock of these new roses, we will be offering them to you, our good customers. A rigid 
program of testing will be followed. You can look forward to P & D’s new rose varieties being 
a real addition to your rose list.
