ROSES 
The Queen of All Flowers 
The rose is unquestionably the most popular of all flower- 
ing plants. Its fragrant blooms with varying form and color 
are unsurpassed by other plants. 
Our roses are grown especially to meet the rugged climatic 
conditions of the Northwest. They are hardy, field grown, of 
the largest two-year-old grade, full of vigor and life, ready to 
bloom for you just a few weeks after planting. 
Roses should be pruned back heavily when planted. The 
success of their growth the first year depends largely on the 
pruning given them at this time. All roses on these pages, 
require winter protection, except the Rugosas. 
Patented os2s. 
This year we have expanded our consistently fine selec- 
tion of roses to include American Rose Society winners for 
1952, as well as other fine new ones. These are the highest
