BICENTENNIAL 

NEW FOR 1976 
a . 4 
Striking, bold, delicious and fiery. Bicenten- 
nial is as American as our flag, as colorful and 
explosive as a skyrocket on the 4th of July, 
and as noble as our forefathers. From the lux- 
urious warmth of the glowing deep red velvet 
painted freely across the petal margins to the 
lively brighter, almost strawberry, red shades 
at the center, Bicentennial is as exciting as our 
past. Brilliant red buds have excellent distinc- 
tive form and roll slowly open to showy, at- 
tractive, double blooms 3! inches across with 
a tiny, distinctive point at the tip of each petal 
adding charm and grace. A lively, lovely rose 
with a light tea fragrance. 
Bicentennial is alive with sparkling color 
and tremendous energy. Bushy, well 
branched, very vigorous plants produce 
mounds of sparkling, attention getting flowers 
all summer long. Blooms never hide in the 
rich, glossy, dark green foliage. 
Bicentennial is truly American—created by 
our pipefitter friend, Carl Meyer, who gave us 
Portrait. 
The Chairman of a Bicentennial Garden 
Committee in New York wrote: ““This Bicen- 
tennial rose is a fantastic rose. It has been in 
constant and bountiful bloom since the first 
week of June. It seems to have an unending 
supply of strength and the blooms last a goodly 
length of time. The bushes have remained to- 
tally free of blackspot. They spread out beauti- 
fully.”’ We know of no better way to describe 
Bicentennial. (Meyer.) Plant Pat. App. For.
