Mrs. R. D. Dorsett, Norman, Oklahoma.  Single Roses I Grow and Love.
B. W. Price (McGredy, 1941) has from six to eight petals of cerise-pink and is a charming rose of good size. Of course, when the hot sun hits that cerise it melts to a much paler shade, but it is still a pleasing color, and its petals are so artistically waved that this rose is a valuable variety if one is at all interested n making a collection of singles.

Piester Conn.: (5 pls., 5 yrs.) rugged open plants; color clear; size good; distinctive in its class. - C. 
II. Brooklyn Botanic Garden, N.Y.  (4 pls., 4yrs.) Growth vigorous; brilliant orange color; open flower with two rows of petals appears as a single rose. – A.

Merrill Idaho: (3 pls., 2 yrs.) Did well first year but nothing second year. D.
XIII. McDonough, Cal.: (1 pl., 3 yrs.) Seems to be at its best as a maiden. Each year it goes backwards and produces less bloom. It is not vigorous and requires special placement to get the most out of it. Wind has detrimental effect upon the open blooms causing petals to curve inward. - D. 
XIV. Edmunds, Ore.: (5 pls., 5 yrs.) Same color but not as perfect a single as Frances Ashton.  Usually has 2 or 3 petaloids. Good plant, foliage; good bedder. - B.
Norton Ore.:  (1pl., 2 yrs.) Nice semisingle. A bit different from anything else I know.  It blooms freely. The plant is rather small but vigorous. - B.
Parker, Van. Is. (1 pl., 1 yr.) Bloomed freely early in the season; no blooms since. A new colour in semisingles; well worth a trial. - B. 
National Rating 6.6.
