Vol. 1, No. 3
Over 24,000 Miles
In Search of
The World's Best Roses
It was thrilling!
No ordinary sightseeing tour abroad
could compare with it, for this was a
journey of exploration with eyes open in
eager expectancy for the triumph of
discovery.
We were hunting rose men and hunting
new and rare roses. Can you imagine
anything more delightful?
But why — you ask, were rose men and
new roses, objects of deepest interest?
Because "Star Roses" must measure up
to a star-high standard. We strive that
every rose we sell shall bring joy to the
purchaser and to the purchaser's friends.
JOY, and not disappointment. It is our
business to take the kinks out of rose
growing, to make the pathway to rose joy
easy and smooth for you readers of
"Good Roses."
Well! That means that we must do
many things; one of them is that we must
know so much about roses that no truh'
worthy rose, as soon as it can be obtained,
shall be left out and also that no second
■ rate rose shall find a place on our Honor
Roll of Star Roses.
Europe, including the British Isles, is a
great rose growing country. But from
191-t to 1918 Europe stopped growing
roses. Before the War, growers there
would bring out about 200 new kinds
every year, and now they are at it again.
That is about 10 times as many new sorts
each year as "come out" in America.
First-hand in formation we must have,
therefore, with Mr. Nicolas of our Re-
search Department, I this year had the
rare opportunity to inspect the rose work
among the foremost rose growers in
Spain, France, Germany, Holland, Eng-
land, Scotland and Ireland. We attended
Shows of the National Rose Societies in
England, Holland and Germany and
meetings of the National Rose Societies in
all these countries and in France. Men
of each nation entertained us in their
homes, in the most cordial fashion, and
freely opened to us the best they had.
The results of our journey will not
appear all at once as readers of "Good
Roses" will learn in subsequent issues.
In America are many different climates,
in Europe there is also a difference, though
less. European prize winners may not
thrive here and vice versa, and for that
reason we expect to make full and careful
use of our testing grounds and our Research
Department so as to protect our patrons
against possible lovely misfits.

AUTUMN, 1925
Did you have any trouble with
mildew or black-spot this season? We had
almost none and attribute our luck to con-
sistently dusting with ALL-IN-ONE dust
mixture every week or ten days. There
may have been other reasons why our
plants grew so thrifty and the foliage was
so fine, but, having used the dust this year
regularly, we give it the credit for protect-
ing the plants from these fungous diseases.

Among the new hybrid tea roses
those that have performed remarkably
well are: Mabel Morse, pure deep lemon
yellow and large full flower. Betty Up-
richard, medium in size, fine carmine,
salmon and copper color, long bud and
sweetly fragrant — for vigor of growth it
ranks with Radiance. Rev. Page Roberts
is proving itself one of the grandest, large
flowered yellows, and Etoile de Feu, red-
dish orange (of the t.'pe of Mme. Edouard
Herriot), is very free in bloom. For a
tinted Rose, Miss Willmott, is a leader.
Edel is showing up as one of the grandest
whites we have ever seen. The flower
is large, perfectly double and fragrant.
In the field it has shown more continuous
bloom than any other Rose, with the
possible exception of Radiance and Red
Radiance.
SEPTEMBER and
OCTOBER, with
their cool hazy days
and moderate sun-
shine,areideal months
for producing the
most perfect Roses.
If possible, come and
see nearly 50,000
Hybrid Tea Roses in
bloom in one of our
fields. You can choose,
while here, the kinds
you would like to
have in your garden
and perhaps you can
also pick up some
useful hints about
growing that will
enable you to have
prize-winning blooms
ne.xt June. Our rose-
fields are well worth
a visit any time.
Fall is a good time
to plant.
Rosa Hugonis .Illustrated Below)
Mere wordy descriptions cannot visualize for you the fairy
beauty of this lovely rose, when in full bloom in early May, at
the same time as the narcissus and other Spring flowering bulbs.
The picture below gives some idea of the graceful growth, with
the branches covered on both sides, to the very tips, with lovely
yellow blooms.
A Hugonis rose, surrounded with brilliant yellow nodding
daffodils, makes a sight worth seeing.
Price, vS1.50 each, 5 for S7.00. E.xtra size, $2.50 each, 5 for
