The ONE and Ouly 



ALL-AMERICA 

 AWARD WINNER for 1970 



Hybrid Tea. Who can resist the only 

 rose to win the All-America Award 

 /^^ for this year? You will see it in all the garden pages 

 ^«^' and flower magazines, and it is sure to be a best- 

 seller. First Prize is a "natural" as a name for this hand- 

 some big Hybrid Tea. The color is a splendid rich deep 

 pink in two shades. On the outside the petals are almost 

 a light red, but the inner side is lighter and toward the 

 center of the flower there is a soft blending of old ivory. 

 The petals have a satiny sheen to them. Large, mag- 

 nificent buds, perfectly formed, and beautifully shaped 

 blooms with a graceful spiral center. There are about 

 25 of the wide petals, rolled back as they open. The 

 flowers are a good 5 inches across, and are grand for 

 cutting. The strong plant grows medium tall and is well 

 covered with healthy, dark green leaves. It flowers well 

 and gives a good account of itself all during the summer.

Roses win make 

 the outside of your home as 

 attractive as the inside. Just 

 think of their advantages — a 

 rose bush lives many years, 

 even where the thermometer 

 goes down below zero in win- 

 ter. Most roses bloom time 

 after time from spring to frost 

 (and you can't say that about 

 many plants). From the tiny 

 Miniature roses to the tall 

 Climbers, they come in a 

 wealth of beautiful colors. 

 And what is more exciting for 

 a bouquet than lovely roses 

 that you have grown yourself? 

 The suggestions in this Guide 

 can help you enjoy them in 

 your own yard and on any 

 budget. See "How to Use 

 Roses" on page 16.
