I sold these goblets (below) quite awhile ago and haven’t really thought about buying any other pieces with the Rose etch. However, I came across this piece – the jam/jelly – in Florida and thought that the etch was nicely showcased.
I believe that the line is Waverly.

Isn’t this a thing of beauty? This is Heisey’s Rose. Of particular interest is the stem with it’s rose knob thing. I am sure there is an official technical term for it. This is a very sturdy stem. Striking. 
I bought four online recently. I like them, but don’t know if I would buy any other pieces. Here’s what replacements.com has to say about the etch……
“One of the most popular patterns Heisey Glass Co. ever produced, Heisey Rose was manufactured between 1949 and 1957, when the company closed. This was a time of great transition in the tableware industry in the United States, when more and more Americans were turning toward a more casual lifestyle, and posed sometimes insurmountable challenges to American glass makers, especially in the face of stiff competition from manufacturers overseas.
In 1842 A. H. Heisey and his parents emigrated to the United States from Germany, settling in Merrittown, PA, near Pittsburgh, a glass-making center during this period. As an adult, Heisey worked as a glass blower for the Cascade Glass Co. in Pittsburgh, but left his job to serve with the 155th Infantry Division of Pennsylvania during the Civil War. Soon after the close of the war, Heisey returned to Pennsylvania to find work in the glass industry. Hired by the firm Ripley and Co. as a salesman, it was there that Heisey met his future wife, Susan.
Susan Duncan was the daughter of the controlling partner of Ripley and Co. Her father would later buy the company outright, renaming it Duncan and Sons. Over the next few years, Heisey worked closely with his father-in-law running the firm. Duncan and Sons joined the U.S. Glass Company in 1893, a combine of glass-producing factories throughout the Ohio River Valley. Named to the board of directors of Duncan and Sons, Heisey served as the company’s managing director in charge of sales. It was during this time that Heisey decided to open his own factory.
