Excerpt from We Bring Roses, Beautiful Fresh Roses, Dewy as the Morning and Coloured as the Dawn, 1921
At this time it is closely associated with the tame rose; a small eye or bud from Betty or Etoile de France or other variety of tame rose is budded or grafted to the root-neck of the Wild seedling and tied firmly until the two blend and grow as one.
Retaining the vigor of its wild days in its roots, the wild bush is cut off and the tame bush blooms forth a thing of beauty and ajoy.
At the end of its second year, it is ready to go out into the world to meet its new guardian, the Rose Lover, and to be fed and cultivated through its appointed term growing and thriving in proportion to the care and affection bestowed upon it.
But, as you may well realize, the early days of the seedling require by far the greatest care. If anything fails here, the rose fails.
It is a thorough appreciation of this fact that has led us to put so much careful study on this phase of rose-culture, and which has caused us to take such care of the roses' welfare during their early days. A long experience has shown that the soils of New Brunswick are ideal, and the same experience has taught just what must be done and just What must be avoided, to produce Hardy Budded Field Grown Roses of the highest type.
As for loving them you should see the smiles of their earlier guardians, our nurserymen, when they look over our fields, blooming with their countless flowers and sturdy branches.
