 Plant Pat. 1814. This splendid rose has Peace 

 tffc. and Charlotte Armstrong as its parents ... so no wonder 

 / Qal s it's good! Although classed as a "white" rose, Garden Party 

 is actually a soft, delicate combination of rich ivory and creamy 

 tones blended with a flush of appleblossom-pink that steals over 

 the flower. A bold, dramatic flower with 25 to 30 large flaring 

 petals. 



Bloom is plentiful and continues all season long. Stiff stems 

 and long lasting ability make this a perfect cutting rose. The plant 

 is tall, very strong and well branched. Distinctive foliage, reddish 

 underneath and with red veins, provides a perfect background.

 W//&(//U ofMeilland.) Plant Pat. 2444. This handsome 

 two-toned deep pink rose is a delight. It has the longest, largest 

 bud of any rose we grow, and enormous staying power. The flower 

 opens crisp and clean, showing two tones of smooth, deep clear 

 rose-red. Each bloom measures up to 5 inches across, with a 

 peaked center that never opens out flat. Long sturdy stems and a 

 light touch of perfume. A fine cutting rose lasting for days. A 

 tall, upright grower, bushy and well proportioned. Large, 

 leathery, ivy-green leaves cover the long canes completely. 



This is a very fast grower that will start showing its buds early 

 in the season and remain a favorite until frost.
