BOISE, IDAHO 45 
PATENTED ROSES 
Most of the newer varieties have been patented. That 
such patented plants are better than some of the older 
non-patnts is not true. Some of them are; a few of them 
are not. Patent right simply give the introducer the right 
to license their growing by commercial growers and to 
collect a royalty on them. Many of them are outstanding. 
Some of those that we have listed have not been grown 
in this area as yet, but they have nearly all been awarded 
honors of some kind in competition throughout the country 
and will probably work well. Many of our patents have 
been ALL AMERICAN ROSE SELECTIONS (AARS)) which 
means that they have competed and won with all the 
introductions of that year all over the United States. Many 
of the older patents came out before the advent of tie 
AARS but would certainly be tops for the year of their 
introduction.
