CHOICE ROSES 
The rose hybridizers are doing an outstanding job of producing new 
varieties of roses. Not only are they breeding for beauty in color and form 
of flowers, but for sturdiness in plants and resistance to disease. Quality of 
stock varies considerably. Since it has been our experience that Northern 
grown plants give the best results in the Northeastern states, we offer only 
2 year No. 1 grade Northern grown stock.
