STAR GUIDE TO GOOD ROSES 



Everblooming Star Roses, continued 



• IMPERIAL POTENTATE. H.T. Deep pink. 

 An American-born Rose of Ophelia parentage, 

 especially bred for gardens in which quality super- 

 sedes quantity. Rich, sparkling pink buds unfold 

 to large, double, well-shaped ilowers, pretty at 

 all stages, with true Rose fragrance. Bushes are 

 sturdily hardy, with handsome olive-green foliage 

 that is notably disease-resistant. After several 

 years testing in our Rose-garden we find this one of 

 the most dependable pink Hybrid Teas. $1 each. 



• INDEPENDENCE DAY. Pernet. Apricot- 

 yellow. Semi-double flowers, generally in clusters 

 on small, stubby stems, are apricot, suffused with 

 golden yellow, and are somewhat fragrant. 

 Like most yellow Roses, the sun will fade the 

 color, wherefore it is at its best in the early 

 morning. Useful for bedding, as it blooms 

 almost continuously. $1 each. 



•IRISH CHARM. H.T. Golden pink. 

 Flowers medium size, double, fragrant, and 

 long lasting when cut. Color is golden 

 pink which passes to blush-pink as the 

 flower ages. $1.25 each. 



•IRISH COURAGE. H.T. Shrimp-pink. 

 A vigorous grower with abundant, leath- 

 ery foliage. The flowers are long-pointed, 

 double, and lasting. Color is shrimp-pink, 

 merging to salmon when fully open. 

 $1.25 each. 



•ISOBEL. H.T. The only single Rose we 

 know that has enough "pep" to do well almost 

 anywhere. Light pink with salmon-orange 

 tinge. $1 each. 



• JOANNA HILL. H.T. New. Yellow. See 

 description on page 29. 



• JOYOUS CAVALIER. H.T. Brilliant red. See 

 description on page 26, and color illustration on 

 page 27. 



• JULEEN POTIN. Pernet. New. Yellow. See 

 description on page 29. 



•KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. H.T. 



White. A large, full, white Rose, following a 

 short, ovoid bud, it has petals of unusual sub- 

 stance and unequaled color. The very double 

 flowers are white, tinted with lemon at the base, 

 and are long lasting. It is not a vigorous grower 

 or free in bloom but it is yet the most popular 

 white Hybrid Tea. Illustrated on page 12. $1 ea. 



Kardinal Piffl. Orange-pink color and blooms continuously 



• J.C.N.FORESTIER. Pernet. Carmine. Long, 

 reddish carmine buds and carmine-lake flowers, 

 slightly tinted with orange and suffused with 

 golden yellow at the base. A very large, full, 

 artistically disarranged, sweet-scented Rose of a 

 unique coloring, hardly changing from bud to 

 finish. The plant is vigorous, tall-growing, and a 

 persistent bloomer. Named for J. C. N. Forestier, 

 who organized the world-famous annual Inter- 

 national Contest of New Roses at Bagatelle, 

 Paris, France. This Rose was winner of the 

 coveted Bagatelle Gold Medal in 1919. In our 

 Rose-fields it distinguishes itself by its erect 

 growth and continuity of bloom. $1 each. 



•KARDINAL PIFFL. (Named for the Primate 

 of Germany.) Pernet. Orange-pink. A very 

 active bloomer, generally in clusters, but when 

 disbudded to one bloom to the stem produces 

 mammoth flowers. The bud is ovoid, orange- 

 pink, with gold at the base, opening to well- 

 arranged, double flowers holding their color well 

 to the end; fruity fragrance. This Rose keeps up a 

 continuous succession of bloom. Although intro- 

 duced only five years ago, it has already estab- 

 lished itself as a leader for quantity and quality 

 of blooms. Bagatelle Gold Medal, 1926. See 

 illustration. $1.50 each.
