VARIETY LIST-PATENTED ROSES 
WHAT ARE PATENTED ROSES! Several years ago a plant patent law was passed to furnish protection to any person or 
firm developing a new and distinctive plant. Through the protection provided by this law, a few firms have been able to 
spend considerable money on the hybridizing and breeding of new varieties of roses. These new and improved varieties are 
so called patented roses. Further, through this same protection, it has been possible to carry out extensive national advertising 
with the result that a big demand has been created for these new roses. We are licensed to grow and sell the varieties listed 
below. A minimum retail selling price is established by the patent owners below which they can not be sold; however; 
they may be sold at any price above minimum. We list below the best and most popular of these varieties. 
ALL AMERICA ROSE SELECTIONS:—About ten years ago an organization known as All America Rose Selections was 
established for the purpose of selecting the best of the new roses. This is accomplished through the operation of official test 
gardens throughout the entire country. The All America rose selection winners which we offer are marked with an asterisk 
as a guide for the best of these new roses.

GRANDIFLORA ROSES — A DESCRIPTION 
“Grandiflora Rose” as a class has been introduced this year for the first time. Plants grow relatively tall— 
are free flowering, often flower in clusters, yet with individual stems long enough for cutting—flower of size, 
not as large as Hybrid Tea (average bush rose) but larger than floribunda type rose (see below). 
FLORIBUNDA ROSES — A DESCRIPT!ON 
Plants grow to moderate height of about 2 feet—profuse flowers borne almost entirely in clusters—flowers 
individually are not as a rule very large but borne in clusters provide a profusion of color. These plants ideal 
for mass planting, such as along a driveway, hedge or fence. Most effective in groups of 3 to 5 plants of same 
variety.
