STAR ROSE GROWERS . . . West Grove, Pa. 



•GOLDEN DAWN. H.T. Pale yellow. 

 This lovely Australian is one of the fin- 

 est garden Roses in existence. Large, 

 globular buds, straw-yellow with old- 

 rose markings, open to high-centered 

 blooms of soft lemon-yellow with 50 to 

 60 petals. There is some variation in the 

 color and at times we would call it 

 moonlight-yellow. Occasional flowers 

 will be much deeper, really quite golden, and late 

 bloom in cool weather often carries a pink tint; how- 

 ever, they are all distinctly beautiful. The flowers 

 are long lasting and are fragrant with the real Tea 

 scent. The plants are of only medium height but are 

 very bushy, having more spread than 

 height, and are clothed to the ground with 

 beautiful bronzy foliage which is almost 

 immune to disease, being, we believe, the 

 healthiest of all the Hybrid Teas. It is a 

 continuous bloomer, producing quantities j 

 of exhibition flowers all season. $1 each.* 



• GRENOBLE. H.T. Glowing scarlet- 

 crimson. The citizens of Grenoble, France, 

 thought enough of this red Rose to ask the origina- 

 tor, Charles Mallerin, to name it for their city. The 

 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 and of large size. Easily 

 one of the best reds. Gold Medal, Sav- 

 erne, 1930; Certificate of Merit, Na- 

 tional Horticultural Societv of France, 

 1931; Bronze Medal, Portland, 1932. 

 SI each.* 



• MRS. AARON WARD. H.T. Yel- 

 low. An old Rose which is always in de- 

 mand. Buff buds open to fully double 

 flowers of yellow and pink. The plants 

 are dwarf and are very free with their 

 lovely blooms. Fine to cut and an ideal 

 boutonniere Rose. 75 Cts. each.* 



Order No. 20/91-35. November 7, 1935. 



You may be interested to know that this 

 Spring I won the challenge cup put up by 

 The Syracuse Rose Society and with your 

 Roses. I now have only about 12 bushes in 

 the garden that are not Conard-Pyle bushes.

• EDITH NELLIE PERKINS. H.T. 



Salmon-pink. See illustration. This is 

 one of the finest Roses of this color we 

 have ever grown. It is one of the first to 

 bloom, the flowers are perfect in form, 

 enchantingly beautiful in coloring, and 

 they are generously produced on strong, 

 healthy plants. Long-pointed buds of 

 cream, orange, and rosy carmine open to 

 high-centered, pale salmon flowers, 

 heavily overspread with gold on the 

 inside of the petals, while the reverse is 

 rosy carmine with the gold extending 

 half-way up on the carmine. For both 

 beauty and abundance of bloom, some 

 prefer Edith Nellie Perkins above the 

 highly prized and higher priced Countess 

 Vandal. It is so beautiful that we al- 

 most forgot to say that it is also fragrant. 

 75 cts. each.* 



•Editor McFarland. $1 each*

• GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. H.Ben. Deep crimson. 

 Noted for its pervasive fragrance that is especially 

 delightful. The flowers come in clusters, each one 

 perfect, but on slender stems. Rich crimson, chang- 

 ing to bright scarlet, shading to velvety fiery red. Use 

 this Rose for a truly hardy continuous-flowering, 

 fragrant, 4 to 5-foot hedge. 75 cts. each.* 



• EDITOR McFARLAND. H.T. See illustration. 

 Another year of critical observation of this Rose, 

 added to the favorable comments of visitors to our 

 gardens and Rose-fields, convinces us that this is the 

 finest deep pink garden Rose in the world today. 

 The firm-textured, perfectly formed flowers are pro- 

 duced through all the growing season and are of a 

 clear, brilliant pink. They come on nice long cutting 

 stems, are fragrant, and as cut-flowers retain tr-eir 

 form and last longer than any Rose we know. The 

 plants are vigorous and have healthy, normal green 

 foliage. We believe that Editor McFarland will soon 

 be the standard by which new pink Roses will be 

 judged. Plant a bed of this superb pink Rose and 

 you will have prize-winning blooms to exhibit at 

 your local flower show and have flowers for cutting 

 all season until hard frost. First-Class Certificate 

 of Merit, Lyonnaise Horticultural Society, 1929; 

 Gold Medal, Contest for the Most Beautiful Rose 

 of France, Lyon, 1932; Certificate of Merit, Port- 

 land, 1932. SI each.*
