He then removed the petals (Picture No\ 2)
the stamen and the stigtfias of the pistil (atigi
pistil are in the center, stamens are the outer tenticles).
Next he removed the stamens with tweezers, leaving
the pistil with its receptive stigmas. (Picture No. 3)
He then removed the pistil and stigmas from a cut
bloom of Pink Peace (Picture No. 4, bloom of single
flowered rose used to better’, illustrate technique) and
pressed the pollen-bearing stamen® onto the stigmas of the
Pink Parfait bloom (Picture No. 5) to effect the cross-
pollination. Often this operation is carried out by dipping
the stigmas of the female patent into a bottle containing
Viable pollen, or by dusting the pollen onto the stigmas
with a soft brush. •
About four months after he made the cross, seeds had
developed in the rose seed capsule (rose hip) and were
ready for harvesting. Mr. Meyer planted these seeds along
with many others in his little greenhouse .(Picture No. fl),
and the following spring when the seedlings were large
enough, he transplanted them out of doors.
As these hybrid seedlings bloomed, Mr. Meyer studied
them, rejecting all but the best, among which was Portrait.
This was the year 1961. *
By 1964, Mr. Meyer had determined that the hybrid
was exceptional and had developed enough plants to send
it to a professional nurseryman for intensive production
and entry into the All-America Rose Selections trials. This
was done in 1968 and the announcement of the honor
Portrait had received was made by AARS in New York in
June 1971, eleven years after the cross was first made.
Portrait, and many other new rose varieties, including
Apollo, the other All-America award winner for 1972, will

cialists mail order catalogs this fall and next spring.
