Wlew ROSES FOR 1977 
DOUBLE DELIGHT. All-America Award Winner for 
1977. One of the most distinctive Hybrid Teas ever. A 
flashy combination of creamy white liberally painted with 
deep scarlet around the petal margins. Eye-catching 51% 
inch blooms have a very strong, pleasing fragrance. Upright, 
spreading and bushy, plants are well covered by dark, 
glossy green foliage. The perfect background for the strik- 
ing blooms. A multipurpose rose well suited to container 
growing. Another great rose from H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. 
App. For. 
FIRST EDITION. (Arnaud Delbard in Europe) All- 
America Award Winner for 1977. This Award Winning 
Floribunda is constantly aglow with luminous coral flowers. 
An eye-catching Floribunda for any use but especially 
lovely for mass plantings outdoors. 2/4 inch open blooms 
are a blending of subtle shades of yellow, orange and red 
which combine to make a distinctive coral with a fluorescent 
quality that lights up the landscape. One spray of FIRST 
EDITION will make a beautiful bouquet and one plant 
will make a magnificent display with its first flush of bloom 
in June and will continue throughout the season. Broad, 
mounded and bushy, FIRST EDITION is a front-row 
rose to give a mass of color. Arnaud Delbard in Europe, 
FIRST EDITION is named for the delightful grandson of 
the renowned French breeder and hybridizer of FIRST 
EDITION, Georges Delbard. Georges Delbard is known 
throughout the world for his breeding and production of 
excellent fruit trees in addition to roses. And, he is the 
author of the magnificent and informative book, The 
Beauliful Fruits of France. Plant Pat. 3647. 
PROMINENT. All-America Award Winner for 1977. A 
luminous bright orange Grandiflora. Blooms profusely and 
continuously all season. Bud and flower form is almost 
perfection and comes on a nice stem scaled to the modest 
flower size. The brilliant color stands out and lasts unusually 
well on the plant or as fresh flowers. The dark green leaves 
make a dense curtain and perfect background for the 
glowing orange flowers. Neat, orderly habit makes it ideal 
as a living fence. Another origination from Kordes_ of 
Germany. Plant Pat. 3380.
