38,000 Roses In Hershey Garden
At Blooming Peak This Week-end
The Hershey Rose Garden, open
free to the public since June of
1937, with its 38,000 plants in more
than 800 varieties, should reach
the peak of its perfection at this
weekend.
The garden represents a parade
of the roses of the world, and they
are so arranged in beds that they
make a perfect display of the queen
of flowers.
More than a quarter of a million
people come yearly to see the Her-
shey Rose Garden, which has grown
from its original four-and.a-half
acres to seven acres of beauty upon
which to feast the eye especially
when the roses hit their blooming
peak.
The roses are arranged in colors
by beds to make a stunning ex-
panse of color and fragrance and to
create sheer opulence of bloom.
There are beds whose blooms are
red, copper red, scarlet, pink, or-
ange pink, copper pink, orange,
yellow, apricot, white, cream, bi-
color and multicolor.
Between the plots are grass
walks so that one can get a close-
up of any particular flower that
captivates one's fancy. An ‘incon-
spicuous lead plate gives the name
of the rose.
To flower lovers there is news in
the rose garden, for there is the
display of the newer varieties, par-
ticularly those that have won the
All-America rose awards and other
roses seeking a place among Am-
erica’'s favorites. Among the 1950
All-American Rose Selections are
Sutters’ Gold, Mission Bells, Capis-
trano and Fashion, all of which will
be on view.
Recently the American Rose So-
ciety issued a folder in which every
rose was given a national rating
as a result of reports from all over
the country. Roses were scored at
10 for a perfect rose and those of
the finer varieties got a rating of
from 9 to 10. Ratings from 8 to
8 9 indicated excellent roses and
from 7 to 7.9 very good. Ninety-five
perecent of these roses given rat-
ings from 7.9 upward are in the
Hershey Rose Garden. No rose
achieved a perfect score of 10.
Every ten years the American
Rose Magazine votes on the best
ten roses grown throughout the
United States and these ten out-
standing roses are given national
recognition. All of these roses
over the years are to be found in
the Hershey Rose Garden to which
are added annually the All-America
Rose Selections.

mile is planted with various’ creep-
ing roses.
The main entrance to the garden
is through a series of Blaze roses—
climbers of crimson red—and here
and there in the garden at appro-
priate places are such attractive
climbing roses as the Laure Soup-
ert, Mary Wallace, Doubloons of
ivory yellow gold, New Dawn,
Paul’s Scarlet, Summer Snow and
the Scorcher that is true to its
name.
In the garden is a pool of water
that comes from subterranean
springs used as a reflecting pool,
and on Summer days when the air
is still the colors of the roses plant-
ed on the edges are reflected in
the water. They include the or-
ange-red Gloria Mundi, the Mer-
maid with its single, pale yellow
bloom, the Jacotte with its orange
flowers, the Eblouissant, darkest of
all the red Polyantha roses, and the
Max Graf, a pink rose.
Many rose lovers throughout the
Nation regard the hillside garden
at Hershey as America’s most spec-
tacular rose garden.
