Wedding Rose by Watson

Of the many "Rose" patterns, here is Wedding Rose, a pattern introduced by Watson in 1900. It was designed by Joseph E. Straker, Jr. The terminal is tipped with rose blossoms and there is one at the end of the stem just at the top of the shoulder - simple but well balanced.

Countess by Frank Smith

Frank Smith introduced the pattern Countess in 1928. It is a stately and elegant pattern with just enough flourish to make it stand out from the Chantillys of the world, but still reserve enough not to be called excessive.
