73 Standard Varieties 



Everblooming Star Roses 



On pages 7 to 17 we offer the Roses which have 

 stood the test of time, have proved worthy under 

 many different conditions, from Maine to California, 

 and are safe for the veriest novice to try; they are 

 the backbone of every Rose-garden. 



The list comprises the best of the better-known 

 monthly-blooming Hybrid Teas, all the self colors 

 and the entire scope of color combinations. In form 

 they range from those with single blooms of five 

 petals, like Dainty Bess, to those so double they 

 never show their centers. 



The descriptions, except for a few varieties, are 

 our own, written from the Roses as they grow and 

 bloom here at West Grove, in southeastern Pennsyl- 

 vania. 



These selected field-grown Star Roses can be 

 successfully grown by anyone who will follow the 

 clear, concise planting and cultural directions which 

 accompany every Star Rose order. Every plant is 

 guaranteed to bloom, so you can confidently order 

 what you want without fear of failure. 



*ABOL. H.T. White. Good white Roses are scarce; 

 a half-opened bloom of Abol, with its trace of pink in 

 the center, is therefore something to remember, espe- 

 cially as it is one of the most deliciously fragrant of 

 all Roses. When fully open the flowers are pure white 

 without a trace of pink. 35 petals. One of the most 

 beautiful whites. 75 cts. each.t 



*AMULETT. H.T. Velvety crimson. Early flowers 

 are deep red, then during the hot weather they may be 

 almost light red, but in the fall they come into their 

 own, with fully double blooms of deep velvety crimson, 

 almost maroon. Old-time Rose fragrance. A choice 

 Rose for cutting. 50 petals. Awarded First Prize at 

 the German Rose Society show, 1931, and received 

 the First-Class Premium, the highest distinction, at 

 Sangerhausen, Germany, 1931. $1 each.f 



•ANGELE FERNET. H.T. Orange. Beautiful, fra- 

 grant Angele Pernet is a connoisseur's Rose. There are 

 not many of the enchanting, brownish orange blooms 

 but each one is a gem laden with perfume. The plant 

 has shiny, holly-like foliage, another virtue. Like all 

 high-colored Roses, it will do much better if partly 

 shaded. 18 petals. 75 cts. each.f 



•BARBARA ROBINSON. H.T. White. Lovely 

 buds opening to 3-inch flowers of creamy white. It has 

 40 to 50 petals and is fragrant. Very free blooming. 

 Low growing but extra good. _ 



$1 each.t 



•Autumn. 90 cts. each 



•Ami Quinard. One of the darkest of the reds. $1 ea. 



•AMI QUINARD. H.T. Black-lustered red. See 

 illustration. Blackish buds open to semi-double flowers 

 of velvety crimson-maroon with a soft black luster; 

 instead of fading, the petals get darker as the bloom 

 ages. It has splendid old-time Rose fragrance. Strong, 

 upright plant, matching the Radiances for vigor. This 

 variety is improving, for it has several more petals 

 than when first introduced and we now consider it one 

 of our finest Roses. First-Class Certificate, Bagatelle, 

 1930; Certificate of Merit, Barcelona, 1930. $1 each.f 



•BLOOMFIELD FLAME. H.T. Flame-color. Strik- 

 ing flame-colored flowers of 20 to 25 petals are freely 

 produced on an extra-tall plant. Its burning buds are 

 very eff^ective, showing above their lower growing 

 neighbors. 75 cts. each.t 



•CECILE WALTER. H.T. Coppery orange. Very 

 long buds open to semi-double blooms of coppery 

 orange, flushed with yellow and pink, somewhat like 

 Los Angeles. Winner of the Gold Medal at Saverne, 

 1928; Certificate of Merit, Portland, 1932. $1 each.t 



•COUNTESS VANDAL. H.T. Plant Patent No. 38. 

 An upright-growing, vigorous Rose with rich-colored, 

 attractive, disease-resistant foliage. The perfumed, 

 perfectly formed blooms, which come from long, taper- 

 ing buds, are a blending of copper, salmon, and gold 

 in color, and they are produced almost continuously 

 on long, erect, rigid stems. $1 each; 6 for $5.

 of vermilion-scarlet suffused with orange. Strong, 

 bushy plants. Cuba's flowers are something to 

 remember. 15 petals. 75 cts. each.t 



•DAINTY BESS. H.T. Rose-pink. Large, single, 

 5-petaIed blooms, 3 to 4 inches across, come in 

 clusters. The edges of the petals are ruflled. Their 

 soft rose-pink color is enhanced by the cluster 

 of stamens on wine-red filaments. Vigorous, 

 upright plants always in bloom. 75 cts. each.t 



•AUTUMN. H.T. Multicolored. See illustration. 

 A rainbow of autumn's glorious colors is what this 

 splendid Rose produces during the growing season.

 3-inch flowers of the same burnt-orange, stained 

 and splashed with red, orange, and various shades 

 of pink. It never loses that "richness," even when 

 the petals are ready to fall. It has 25 to 30 petals 

 and is deliciously fragrant. 90 cts. each.t
