HOW WE GRADE OUR ROSES 
When our roses are brought in from 
the field they are separated into these 
three grades: 
Select 2-year No. 1 
Standard 2-year Medium 
Light Under-grade (we do not 
sell this grade) 
Many nurseries make four grades, 
the fourth being Large Jumbo XX, 
which they usually sell ac a premium 
price. We prefer to put these XX in 
with our Select No. 1 grade, which 
in itself complies absolutely with the 
Horticultural Standard of the Ameri- 
can Association of Nurserymen. 
Our Standard Medium grade con- 
forms to the grading standards also, is 
a little smaller in size than a No. 1; 
otherwise just as good. 
We do not sell the Light Under- 
grade. If they are good, we put them 
back in the field to grow up or, if 
they are culls) we burn them.

Brownell’s are just as beautiful. as any 
Hybrid Tea Rose, but they have extra 
hardiness, as shown clearly by the picture 
at the right, taken here in Shenandoah. 
These roses are 5’ high, yet during their 4 
years of growth they were never winter- 
protected nor pruned. You can prune them 
smaller if you wish. They also are nearly 
immune to black spot. 
We highly recommend Brownell’s for 
any place in the U. S., but especially for 
the rugged weather of the mid-west.
