Website/Catalog (1933) Page(s) 7. 'Garden Gem'. This great new bush rose introduced and for sale only by us is a remarkable rose—it has no disease of any kind. Absolutely free from Black Spot and kindred diseases that are so annoying and which are found so abundantly in nearly all the roses of recent origin. Its parentage is the finest of any rose in cultivation—a hybridization of 'Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury' — a great American rose and 'America', another great American (Hill) production. It is a marvelously strong, healthy grower under the most adverse conditions, thriving even in extreme heat—just a grand grower. As already stated there is no rose we know of to compare with it in the absolute healthy growth that characterizes it at all times. Of course it is but natural that it should be a magnificent bloomer, continuously bearing its beautiful, satiny pink flowers of lovely form on strong erect stems, making it one of the greatest of all roses new or old, for garden cultivation and for cutting.
