Scappoose Oregon P&D Oregon Roses 1940s Advertising Blotter Flower - 8 x 3.5

This 1940s advertising blotter promotes P and D Oregon Roses of Scappoose, Oregon, featuring a vivid pink rose alongside printed text emphasizing hardy varieties grown for broad climates.

Mid-twentieth-century agricultural and nursery advertising often used blotters as practical promotional items, distributed through offices and businesses where they remained in daily use. Rose cultivation in Oregon, particularly in the Willamette Valley and surrounding regions, became well known for quality stock and adaptability, with growers marketing both beauty and resilience to a national audience.

The design combines a detailed color image of a single rose bloom with clean typographic branding, including references to multiflora japonica rootstock and the company’s wholesale growing operation. The horizontal format and absorbent paper stock reflect the utilitarian function of blotters while preserving strong visual appeal for display and branding.
