Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Plant 

 Pat. 1167. A famous rose known and 

 loved for its wonderful deep red color and richly satisfying 

 fragrance. The glowing crimson-red color with even darker 

 overtones and the intoxicating perfume provide a com- 

 bination that most people simply cannot resist. It goes 

 on and on indefinitely as a best-selling favorite because 

 it has so many superior qualities. Chrysler Imperial's 

 excellent form begins with the full, solid buds and carries 

 through to the large blooms with their 40 to 50 huge 

 petals. Blooms are just about perfect . . . high centered, 

 with an interesting curl to the outer petals . . . and 

 usually they are borne one to a stem. An outstanding 

 rose for cutting, with many years of proven ability to 

 please, this is a perennial winner at rose shows every- 

 where. And as a standard red for any garden it is hard 

 to beat, or even equal. It is not an "addition" to a rose 

 planting; it is one of the dozen or so Hybrid Teas that 

 are essential for any garden of roses. The bush is strong, 

 handsomely shaped and of medium height. Plenty of 

 vigorous, dark green foliage provides a most effective setting for 

 a most glamorous rose. Chrysler Imperial won its All-America 

 Award in 1953 but shows no signs of losing its appeal. No matter 

 how many new red roses come on the market, this one stays. In 

 1965 Dr. Walter E. Lammerts, its hybridizer, was awarded the 

 Gamble Fragrance Medal of the American Rose Foundation in 

 recognition of Chrysler's marvelous perfume.

CHRYSLER IMPERIAL 



"Last spring I ordered three roses — hybrid teas — from your 

 Company. In the same bed I had several roses from another 

 Company. All were planted the same day, received the same 

 care, were fed, pruned and everything equally done. Perhaps 

 you would be interested to know the Star Roses are not only 

 larger, healthier looking, but are far more prolific bloomers alsol 

 I am very pleased with your roses and enclose my order for 

 more." Mrs. Z. J., Ohio 



^/j/J^A^fJO Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 1969. The 

 "yvUU//(ii/ word "fluorescent" has been applied to the color 



of this rose in an attempt to pinpoint its very special quality. 



Its bright orange-red is intense but not too deep and is full 

 of a luminosity that makes it come alive. This rich color holds 

 exceedingly well, too, even in the hottest sun. The medium 

 large, 4j^ to 5-inch, double blooms have good strong fragrance, 

 and the long, elegantly shaped buds are always attention getters. 

 The excellent cutting stems add to its usefulness. "Too good 

 to be real" is a common reaction to this rose. The tall, bushy, 

 well-shaped plant is covered with substantial shiny green foliage 

 — decorative in its own right. It is healthy, hardy, easy to grow 

 and a continual producer all season long. 



This is an exhibition rose of top rank, because of its perfect 

 form and also because its color is even better indoors than out, 

 if that is possible. The Gold Certificate — the highest honor given 

 a rose by the American Rose Society — is the latest award earned 

 by this marvelous Hybrid Tea. It was first introduced in Europe 

 a few years ago, and already it has become a classic. There it is 

 also known as Super Star, and we certainly agree that it is super. 

 Every major rose-growing country has showered gold medals on 

 this rose and the fanfare keeps right on. The sparkling orange- 

 red color is unforgettable.
