THE ONE—THE ONLY ALL-AMERICA 
ROSE FOR 1956 
AARS stands for All-America 
Rose Selections, a national non- 
profit organization set up to test 
and evaluate each year’s new 
rose varieties and to select the 
best for All-America Awards. 
Any new rose is eligible for en- 
try. Identified only by number, 
plants go through the two years 
of testing in 22 official test gar- 
dens located throughout Amer- 
ica. Each garden represents a 
different condition of soil and 
climate. 
Some of America’s best qualified 
rose judges periodically score 
the entries on a _ point basis 
(from zero to maximum points 
for color, vigor, form and each 
of the other qualities set up in 
the scoring schedule), and the 
rose scoring highest may (at the 
discretion of the All-America 
jury) be honored with one of the 
coveted All-America Awards. 
You can be sure that any rose 
which holds such an award and 
wears the AARS tag is a superior 
kind. It has come out on top in 
the world’s most thorough test of 
roses.
