• GOLDEN DAWN. H.T. Pale 

 yellow. One of the finest garden 

 Roses ever produced. Although as 

 hardy as any of the Hybrid Teas, 

 it has every appearance of being 

 pretty much pure Tea. The lovely 

 bronzy foliage, almost immune to 

 disease, the bushy plants of medium 

 height, and the wonderful Tea fra- 

 grance, all denote its Tea ancestry. 

 Large, globular buds, pale yellow 

 with old-rose markings, open to 

 fully double blooms of soft lemon- 

 yellow which are beautiful until 

 they fall apart. One of the best 

 blooming Roses we have ever 

 grown. 50 to 60 petals. $1 each.f 



•MRS. G.^ A. VAN ROSSEM. H.T. Red-orange. 

 See illustration. A spectacular Rose which shows best 

 in the half-open bud stage when it is of the deepest 

 red-orange, almost brownish, with deeply impressed 

 maroon veins. Toward the end the color tones to old- 

 rose. The rich coloring with the unusually heavy 

 veining makes this one of the most interesting Roses 

 we grow. Deliciously perfumed. 40 petals. 75cts. each.f 



• GRENOBLE. H.T. (C. Mallerin, 1931.) 

 Scarlet-crimson. The citizens of Grenoble, 

 France, thought enough of this red Rose to 

 ask the originator, Charles Alallerin, to name 

 it for their city. Plant is very vigorous and the 

 blooms come on unusually long stems, making 

 it one of the best garden Roses for cutting. 

 The buds are crimson, but the open flower is 

 brilliant red, almost scarlet, and a bed of 

 Grenoble stands out like a fire. It is fully 

 double (45 petals), of large size, and slightly 

 fragrant. Easily one of the best reds. Gold 

 Medal, Saverne, 1930; Certificate of Merit, 

 National Horticultural Society of France, 

 1931; Bronze Medal, Portland, 1932. $1 each.f 



• DIRECTOR RUBIO. H.T. Cochincal- 

 pink. See illustration. One of the m.ost 

 striking Roses we have ever grown, and has 

 the largest blooms we have ever seen. One 

 flower we grew measured lYi inches in 

 diameter. The color is cochineal-pink accord- 

 ing to Ridgway's Color Chart, but that does 

 not describe the brilliance and beauty of 

 the flower at all stages from the mammoth, 

 long-pointed bud to the loose, ruffled, open 

 flower, and it doesn't fade. The plant is 

 hardly of average height but is extra sturdy, and the 

 flowers are held rigidly erect on stout stems. Mild 

 fragrance. 35 petals. Gold Medal, Saverne, 1928. $l.t 



n r > •DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. 



H.T. Yellow. See illustration. 

 Extra long-pointed buds of golden 

 orange open to large, loose flowers 

 of saffron with the delicious fra- 

 grance of the old Tea Roses. It has 

 17 petals. Big, bushy plant with 

 healthy foliage. One of the most 

 popular of all yellow Roses, and 

 deservedly so, for its faults are few.

1000 STAR ROSES-A MASS OF BLOOM 



September 11, 1934 

 I have under my care over one thousand 

 "Star Roses" and they are a mass of bloom 

 right now, and have been all summer. 

 They don't have any rest periods; all they 

 know is bloom and bloom. I shall always 

 call your firm a "Grade A Rose House." — 

 Chas. E. W., Maysville, Kentucky.
