Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) 

 fW/f/f'// ff//f Plant Pat. 1912. A fine yellow rose that 

 blooms and blooms. It has a warm, friendly look and we consider 

 it to be one of the very best of the pure yellows. The buds may 

 well be compared with those of Eclipse, which have been admired 

 for so long for their elegant slim form, accentuated by long grace- 

 ful sepals. They open into magnificent double flowers with 40 to 

 45 petals that are produced repeatedly and in great quantity from 

 early summer to fr9st. The deep gold color looks as if it had been 

 poured down into the center of the bloom, to spill out over the 

 soft ivory outer petals. Blooms have moderate tea fragrance; some 

 are carried one to a stem and others in candelabra-like clusters. 

 In either case stems are of suitable length for cutting, and blooms 

 come so plentifully that flowers for the house are always available. 

 The plant is upright, shapely, well branched and 

 vigorous, with soft-textured, clean light green leaves. 

 An excellent yellow rose producing a tremendous 

 amount of bloom.

///////, Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 

 2574. This rose of German origin has 

 been grown in this country long enough to prove itself very well 

 adapted to our climate. Its unusually heavy perfume is respon- 

 sible for the name — a feature that all growers will welcome. No 

 matter what the weather or time of day. Fragrant Cloud sends 

 out a true rose essence. And its color is equally lovely — bright 

 coral-red that deepens to a more orange-red as the flower opens 

 to its full width of 5 inches. In the cool of fall the orange tones 

 are likely to be emphasized. The buds are rich dark red, becom- 

 ing high-pointed, double blooms of perfect form. Those who 

 enjoy entering roses in shows should consider the exhibition qual- 

 ities of Fragrant Cloud. Its well-formed blooms are a stand-out 

 on a show table. When intended for exhibition they need to be 

 disbudded (the side branches cut off), since flowers are generally 

 carried in clusters of up to 8 on a stem. 



Its fragrance alone would be enough to recommend this rose, 

 but with this wonderful color and shape as well it is truly out- 

 standing. The glossy dark foliage forms a good background to 

 show off the flowers. The plant grows quite tall and very strong, 

 with good big basal shoots. It can take part shade. An excellent 

 rose to cut and bring into the house, where it will perfume a room 

 until the petals fall. And for making a sachet, you will find 

 Fragrant Cloud is tops.
