THE ROSE OF THE ’70’s 
A total beauty, we have often heard Sonia 
described as *‘the most beautiful rose in the 
world’’, in.fact an actress on a talk show 
recently described Sonia as just that. 
A new delicate luminous coral that is 
impossible to capture with the camera— 
she is so beautiful you have to see her to 
appreciate her, and once you have seen 
Sonia you will know why we think she is 
the most beautiful in all the world. 
A fascinating and unusual combination 
in all stages beginning an eye-catching new 
pink suffused with coral and yellow lightly 
brushed across each petal. Long buds of 
classic beauty we expect only from the 
florist majestically open to beautiful high- 
centered blooms; outer petals rolling back 
slowly in an attractive star form. Four inch 
open blooms hold their exquisite form until 
fully open. Petals are satiny with unusual 
firmness, substance and lasting quality that 
gives the flowers exceptional life on the 
plant and when cut. Color holds exception- 
ally well and Sonia is so eager to bloom that 
the more you cut the faster it grows and the 
more blooms you get. 
A fabulous florist rose in Europe and 
America, Sonia is proving to be outstand- 
ing in the outdoor garden, in the home 
greenhouse, anywhere.
