New Roses Brimming with Charm 



/j}//rj) ^^^- Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 l/Wfl/u' Pat. App. For. Here is one of our own introductions for 

 this season ... a rose with a "lady-like" air, softly appealing at 

 all stages. The color is fresh clear salmon-pink, gentler on the 

 outside of the petals and warmer inside. And this good color lasts 

 until the petals drop. Buds are ovoid in shape, with 30 to 35 e.xtra 

 broad petals, arranged to make a nicely double bloom of pleasingly 

 rounded form. Blooms as much as 5 inches across are borne one 

 to a stem, and sometimes several appear on a strong cane. Foliage 

 is reddish green at first, becoming medium green and covering 

 the plant well. This is a tall plant to put in the back row. Growth 

 starts with great vigor early in the growing season, followed soon 

 by a profusion of buds. By the end of the summer the plant has 

 reached a height of 3}/2 fcet and has provided dozens of lovely, 

 softly tinted clear pink blooms. Picture them as beautiful flowers 

 in a bouquet and bringing a delicate feminine touch to your gar- 

 den as well. 



We have a very personal interest in this rose because the name 

 Laura was chosen by the hybridizer Alain Meilland as a compli- 

 ment to Mrs. S. B. Hutton, Sr. Extra good size, clean sweet color 

 and characteristic Meilland vigor will make Laura a contender 

 for a favored spot in your garden.

 LAURA 



ir/ji/,//,/ r/////'^ Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 U(/1(/U( / /(/(OV Plant Pat. App. For. An exciting yellow rose, 

 crisp and sparkling — a fine addition to the yellows, which are never 

 too plentiful. Buds are long and shapely, becoming 5-inch flowers 

 of inviting, full-hearted form with light scent. In the opening 

 stage they are tinged with rich glowing orange at the edge of the 

 petals but when fully open are deep bright gold. Each flower is 

 like a big full cup spilling its rich color and opening wide enough 

 to show a beautiful large mass of orange-gold stamens in the 

 center. The shape of the flower provides an interesting contrast 

 with high-centered varieties. Usually flowers are carried one to a 

 stem, and always in good quantity all during the blooming season. 

 The bush grows to moderate height, well branched and with 

 strong canes. Foliage is large, thick and plentiful, of waxy deep 

 glossy green that fairly shines. It is truly beautiful in itself, form- 

 ing a dark frame for the deep gold blooms. Golden Prince is 

 exactly the right name for this rose, for it has all the qualities 

 necessary to make it a royal introduction, sure of a royal reception. 

 The tingling golden yellow flowers against the unusually glossy 

 leaves call for attention in any planting.
