About this postcard

A spray of pink roses — one large open bloom with several buds and green leaves — fills the card, with a birthday greeting printed in blue script above. Floral greeting cards of this kind were a staple of the early 1900s postcard boom, when publishers issued hundreds of rose and flower designs for birthdays and general good wishes. The number 95 at the lower left is a publisher's design number.
