The early American Rose Annuals are available for free download, but is not straight forward so I am posting the instructions for them separate.

Go to:
http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/34009#/summary

on the right side below "volumes"
will be 1916, click on the negative sign to the left of the 1916.

Then you will see the following:
1916,1917,1918,1919,1920,1921,1922,1923, and 1916-41.

The 1916-41 is just an index. The others are links to the yearly issues.

Here is a link that might be useful: link for above

Go get these! The very early ones are interesting, but contain a bit less research. The 1920s through mid to late 1950s are fascinating! They contain such a wealth of knowledge and personalities. Rose research supported by the ARS in the 1970s yielded some rather interesting items. It's wonderful getting to read Wilhelm Kordes, Tantau, Boerner, Meilland, Le Grice, etc. writing about their passions. There are very telling reports from Europe during WWII written by rose lovers and producers. Now these rather rare and harder to find things are available electronically and free, there is no excuse! You are guaranteed to find many things there to interest and delight you. Thanks, Henry! Kim
