Peace also requires a cool climate for development of its best color. On the other
hand, a variety such as Mirandy or
Chrysler does best with heat and no fog.
Mirandy is therefore well adapted to inland and desert areas, but is practically
worthless near the coast.
Some rose specialists have suggested
defining six climatic areas and listing
popular varieties adapted to each area.

* In 1940, the All America Rose Selections began to accept rose entries for All America trial gardens scattered throughout the United States. Sixteen judges now score entries for a two-year period on a uniform point
basis. The scores are averaged, and the top rose or roses are honored by an All America Award. Such awards
are as nearly impartial as possible, and normally indicate roses of the highest merit. Local rose organizations
can indicate which winners may not do well locally and which should be included among the best of the new
introductions.
