Mojave 
Beatie 
The initials AARS have great significance for gardeners who know and love roses 
everywhere in the world, for they are those of All-America Rose Selections. This 
national non-profit organization set up to scientifically test mew roses and select the 
best of each year’s introductions is now recognized as America’s most important rose 
testing organization. 
All entries are planted for testing in 19 carefully selected All-America trial gardens 
scattered throughout America and representing each important rose growing climate 
and location. Nineteen of America’s most capable rose judges periodically rate the roses 
on a point basis, and the rose scoring the highest number of points during the two- 
year period may, at the discretion of the All-America jury, be honored with one of 
the coveted All-America Awards. Any rose which has been declared a winner (desig- 
nated in this catalog by the AARS insignia) is a rose that is more than good. You can 
be sure of it because it has come out on top in the world’s most thorough rose trials. 
1954's International Winner

> AA)RS only was Mojave named the only 1954 All-America Winner 
in the Hybrid Tea class, but it went on to capture the Gold 
Medal at the important Bagatelle trials in Paris, France, and followed 
that by winning the Gold Medal at Geneva, Switzerland trials. Mojave’s 
sweeping victory in these important Old World rose trials gives it a 
distinction which few roses in history have equalled. This grand slam 
victory makes it easily the most honored rose of 1954. 
Named for the famous California desert, we feel this to be the very 
finest orange colored rose yet introduced. The name fits it perfectly 
because its rich coloring is typical of a desert sunset—glowing orange 
shot with flame-like tones of scarlet and vermillion. 
Next to color, the outstanding feature of Mojave is the amazing num- 
ber of long-stemmed buds it produces—beautiful tapering buds 
which open to big, pleasantly fragrant, richly colored flowers. The 
exquisite bud form is inherited from Mojave’s famous parent, Char- 
lotte Armstrong, and like the buds of Charlotte Armstrong, these are 
neatly always borne singly on long, stout stems. They are marvelous 
for cutting. 
Everyone enjoys a rose which grows well and Mojave grows and blooms 
in a way to bring delight to the heart of any rose grower. Tall, ex- 
tremely vigorous and seldom without a display of bloom.
