 blooms edged a deep yet delicate satiny blush.

 glowing warmth while the solid pink reverse adds 

 depth and sparkle. Fully double, high centered, 4- 

 inch blooms have a delicious tea rose fragrance.

Tropicana 



(^^ Known and loved for 

 ^^ its bright, intense, 

 "fluorescent" orange-red 

 color and for its exceptional 



qualities as a cut rose. "Super Star" in Europe, 

 TROPICANA is a bright, intense orange-red, not 

 deep but with a luminous quality to the petals that 

 makes it come alive. This superb color holds 

 exceptionally well, even in the hottest sun and when 

 cut and brought indoors. Buds are exquisite and 

 prized by flower arrangers. Blooms are double, 

 medium large — 4'/2 to 5 inches — elegantly formed 

 and with good, strong fragrance. Truly a classic. 



Tall and bushy, well shaped plants are covered 

 with shiny green disease resistant foliage. Easy to 

 grow. (Tantau.)
