American Beauty Roses Not
Found on U. S. Flower Markets
By Harman W. Nichols
Washington, Feb. 20 (U.fi) Harry R. Baker, a local florist,
shocked a customer the other day.
"No, we have no American Beauty Roses," said Barker. "There
is no such thing any more."
The customer got mad and said, by Golly, he had bought a
dozen in another shop a week-
before and why didn't Barker
have 'em?
Harry, an honest and patient
little guy, qualified his state
ment a little. He explained that
there has not been a real Amer
ican Beauty rose on the com
merical market for over a de
cade. Not one that you or I
could buy, anyway.
"There are a couple of dealers
in the country who put out a
token amount each year but
they cost you a pretty sawbuck.
Or more," he said.
All of this sent me to see Gran
ville Gude, chairman of the Na
tional Flower and Garden show,
which will be held In Washing
ton late in March.
"Sure," he said, with proper
dignity, "you can buy an Ameri
can beauty. But you can't get
one at the corner florist. None
of the regular dealers has any
There isn't one in Washington,
and very few any place."
Gude said that even in the
days when you could buy the
American Beauty they cost from
$18 to $36 a dozen. They grew
from 36 to 60 inches in length
and the stems were as big as
your thumb. Nurseries now sell
. bushes to be grown in your back
yard.
"The bloom," said Gude,
as big a cabbage."
The real American beauty, he
added, wasn't red, anyhow, but
was kind of an old rose.
"If you wanted to buy a cou
ple of bushes right now and sink
them in the back yard," he said,
"you could have flowers this
sumer. But you'd get only about
four roses off each bush a year.
That doesn't make any sense to
the commercial man, who can
plant an ordinary rose bush and
get 36 blooms off each bush
Even if he only gets $3 a dozen,
it's better than playing nurse
maid to something that might
not produce anyway."
Gude said that about 60 per
cent of the florists in business
today never saw an American
Beauty in their lives.
"We have a dickens of a time
with these folks," he said. "A
lot of them think that when you
ask for a tea rose you want
something with a yellowish
tinge. A tea rose is any rose
that blooms monthly and can be
almost any color red, pink or
yellow."
Gude said that the substitute
for the American Beauty, in case
you have a birthday or anniver
sary coming up, is a rose called
better times."
