ALL -AMERICA AWARD WINNER FOR 1969 



i^K>, Floribunda. As you can see from the front cover picture, 

 ^^* Angel Face is something entirely new in roses. The color is the 

 first "different" point that you notice — and what a beautiful color 

 it is! The warm lavender has a soft ruby-red tint in the buds and 

 on the petal edges. This is a lovely color that does not fade. The 

 shape of the fiower is diflferent from most roses too. Buds are very 

 trim, and when they open to full size they show a delightful ruffling 

 on the petals. Blooms are about 33^ inches across, or perhaps 

 smaller in midsummer, but always neat, precisely ruffled and never 

 heavy. They come one to a good strong stem, or in smallish clusters, 

 all summer. Growth is sturdy but quite low. Angel Face even has 

 a nice new-fashioned perfume to go with its new-fashioned lavender 

 color. (Swim & Weeks.) Planl Pat. 2792.

GrandiHora. This is a luscious big fiower with 

 satiny petals and the high pointed center that 

 is so much admired. E.xtra warm pink color and a strong, tall plant 

 make it an outstanding Grandiflora. In the bud stage the color is 

 deep pink to light red, and when fully open the flower is a slightly 

 deeper shade of pink on the outside of the petals than on the face. 

 Always fresh and inviting, even on the hottest days of midsummer. 

 Petals are broad and firm and the blooms large and solid, with light 

 tea perfume. Sometimes they are carried one on a stem, and at 

 other times in candelabras of several. The foliage of this beautiful 

 Grandiflora is especially good. In its early stages it is bronzy red 

 but as it grows it covers the tall bush with a lush deep glossy green 

 mantle. Vigorous and well branched, Garden State is best planted 

 where its plentiful, shining foliage will act as a fine backdrop.
