I had all my life been a theoretical rose-lover, but this labor of love for the rose impelled me to make my relationship practical. This increasingly pleasant rose contact has reached into every state and province of the United States and Canada, as well as across both oceans to all of Europe, to the Philippines, Japan and CHina, to Australia, Ceylon and New Zealand. It has made possible the assembling annually of a record of American rose progress, with side-lights from all the world. Continually, as I have faced the question mark which seems to be a part of the countenance of every American rose-lover, I have felt the need for an interpretation from the American standpoint of the up-to-date rose-lore that has thus far been developed." ; Contents: Is the rose in America? - George Washington's rose - American rose production - Foreign roses prevail - Special rose locations - Superior American hardy climbers - Making the rose universal - The usual roses - Hybrid teas - Pernetianas - Tea roses - Polyanthas - Hybrid perpetuals - Hybrid rugosas - Noisettes - Moss roses - hardy climbers - Crimson rambler - Wichurianas - Climbing hybrid teas - other climbers - The unusual roses - The Crapo Catlague - Sweetbriers - Cherokee - American species - Old-world species - Hugonis - Setipoda - Cathayensis - Van Fleet hybrids - Austrian briers - The rose plant itself - Own-root plants - Budded plants - Which to plant - Potted roses - Various stocks - Capt.

No Jacket. 232, xxv pp. ; illustrated, 19 photographic plates, 3 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early…twentieth century. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.
