Boerner was director of the rose breeding program for the firm and created the Diamond Jubilee rose to celebrate the company's 75th anniversary. The cultivar's stock parents are the Noisette, 'Marechal Niel' and Hybrid tea rose, Feu Pernet-Ducher. This rose won the All-America Rose Selections award in 1948. The other new rose, also bred by Boerner in 1947, is the "New Yorker" rose, a medium red fragrant Hybrid Tea rose.
The Diamond Jubilee rose is depicted and described on page 2 of the catalog and the New Yorker rose on page 3.
