The Kose Collection 
This is a highly selected list, by colors, of what we have found the best in 
Hybrid Tea, Floribunda and Climbing Roses. White Flower Farm chooses a 
new rose, not because it is new, but because it is better than an old one. 
All are hardy, of simple culture, of abundant bloom. Bareroot Roses are not 
shipped after April 15 and we do not mail Roses in the fall. The reasons are 
sound from a Rose’s point of view—it should be in the ground as early in the 
spring as possible and never be subjected to warm November Indian Summer 
weather. Because these Roses are grown specially for us by a producer who 
is just as fussy about quality as we are, the supply is limited. Complete cul- 
tural directions with each order. The following prices are for bareroot stock; 
Roses growing in Easimoves are available at The Sales Center at the per 
each price plus 50 cents.
