The unique testing program was introduced 10 years ago to assist tile public in selecting roses of the highest quality for their gardens. Since there ate several thousand varieties available to the average gardener, he needs some sort of a guide to help in the selection of plants that will do well in his particular section of the country. V To this end, the system of "pretesting" requires that new varieties undergo a two-year period of trial in gardens located throughout the country before they are put on the market. During the trial period, they are thoroughly studied under widely varied soil and climatic conditions. Test gardens are located at lead; lijg universities, nurseries and municipal gardens where impartial experts study the plants under actual growing conditions. Each plant is carefully checked for such characteristics as hardiness, frsgranee, length of flowering period and all other important qualities of a top flight rose. Plants are identified only by a code number and scored on the basis of a uniform point system. Only those meeting rigid standards over the two-year trial period may be awarded the coveted designation of "All-America Rose Selection."
