All-America for 1963 



^. H.T. (Tantau) Plant Pat. 1969. This 

 !«|k| rose is known throughout Europe as 

 ^^.TANTAU'S SUPER STAR, and as 

 such it has won high awards in 9 countries. 

 Here in America, its honors include the City 

 of Portland Gold Certificate as well as the 

 AARS award. Tropicama's color is bright, 

 intense, eye-filling — an orange-red with enor- 

 mous appeal. Every cane bears one or more 4J/^ 

 to 5-inch flowers — fragrant flowers — which 

 last long Eind hold their color. Notable, too, is 

 the bush which has masses of good, exception- 

 ally disease-resistEint foliage. It is heavily 

 branched, vigorous and tall growing (3 feet 

 in temperate areas — up to 5 and 6 feet in 

 warmer parts"). I think that in Tropicana, 

 Mr. Tantau, who developed this rose in Ger- 

 many, has produced his greatest in a long line 

 of fine roses. Its fame in Europe has preceded 

 it here and many gardeners have waited for it 

 patiently. They won't be disappointed, for 

 Tropicana has all the qualities necessary for 

 both instant success and long-time popularity.

GR. (Swim & Weeks) Plant Pat. 

 2132. Here is the only really tall- 

 growing white rose — also the only 

 white Gremdiflora. Ruds and blooms 

 £u-e dramatically large and im- 

 pressive. Flowers are high-centered, 

 the petals broad and substantial. 

 Long stems hold two or three fra- 

 grant blooms — sometimes there is 

 only one. The upright, vigorous 

 plsmt is distinguished, too, by most 

 interesting gray-green foliage which 

 is beautifully leathery in substance 

 and appearsmce. Mt. Shasta blooms 

 continuously and freely, affording 

 you the delight of picking the en- 

 trancing flowers regularly. It must 

 be SEiid of this new white rose that 

 its broad, gracefully formed sur- 

 faces resemble in miniature the 

 beauty of cascading slopes of snow 

 . . . and it is possible (almost) in 

 the mind's eye to see the skiers 

 swish-h-h-ing down them. Fanci- 

 ful? Perhaps! Rut this is a rose to 

 stir one's fancy! Try Mount Shasta 

 and see for yourself. §3 ea.; 3 

 or more, 82.65 ea.
