TAMANGO 
Tamango 
Floribunda. Three big pluses make Tamango an unusually good rose and a 
well above average Floribunda: flower size and quality, vigor and hardiness, 
and a spectacular profusion of bloom. Oval buds are deep red, almost black, 
and open to 4-inch luminous, velvety red flowers with 40 or more petals. Buds 
are in massive clusters of blazing color and blooms are large and double and 
the deep true red lasts for days. Blooms come continuously giving the plants 
the appearance of one massive flower. Above average disease resistance. A 
rose for all uses—cut flowers, colorful garden display, as a tall screen or 
hedge, anything. Smart and lively. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2857. 
$3.90 ea. —3 or more, $3.65 ea.

SPECI 
Our usual advice is to spray or dust roses regularly. 
That is not the case with these roses we call ‘‘care- 
free.’’ They are special in that you can plant them and 
forget about spraying and fertilizing, but you won't 
forget them completely. They will put on such a beau- 
tiful show for you all summer they will constantly 
draw your attention. 
These are the landscaping roses. Use them any- 
where, instead of privet hedge, where you would put a 
forsythia or lilac, as a windbreak. Be creative and 
combine them with other shrubs. Don’t think of them 
as rose bushes, these are hardy, free-blooming shrubs 
for everyday use. If you would like lots of color all 
summer without any effort but setting out the plants, 
these are the roses for you. They can take care of 
themselves, and they will reward you with years of 
beautiful, eye-catching color. 
Yes, they can be cut and brought indoors, and they 
are lovely. 
The Fairy 
Ideal for any use. Beautiful 2 to 3 foot shrub with 
hundreds of seashell-pink flowers coming in large 
clusters all season. A dense, hardy, thrifty bush, ex- 
ceptionally resistant to disease and insects. Lacy 
foliage is small, shiny and beautifully green. A mul- 
titude of lovely pink blooms from early summer until 
frost. An excellent lawn specimen, a colorful hedge, 
background planting—a flourish of color even in par- 
tial shade. A foolproof rose that has almost every good 
quality possible. And, don’t overlook The Fairy as a 
tree rose on Page 36. It’s spectacular. (Bentall.) 
$3.60 ea.—3 or more, $3.40 ea.
