TROPICANA 



Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) 

 Plant Pat. 2078. Here's a 

 deep yellow rose that fairly gleams with its own sun- 

 light . . . and is especially cheering on a dull day. 

 Urn-shaped buds open to a sunburst of bloom. Flow- 

 ers are of medium size, cup shaped, with about 25 

 satiny smooth petals. They open easily, regardless of 

 the weather. Coming usually singly but sometiines 

 two or three to a long stem, these roses are fine for 

 cutting. Both the form and the color hold up well 

 and add brilliance to any arrangement. The vigor- 

 ous, semi-upright plant is moderately tall, well 

 branched and attractive, with grey-green leaves and 

 reddish thorns. It's an especially fine "front-row" 

 rose that will give you consistently large quantities 

 of good bloom.

Hybrid Tea. (Lindquist.) Plant Pat. 

 1304. Tiffany is every bit as elegant as its 

 name suggests, with long buds and double flow- 

 ers up to 5 inches in diameter. It is a dramatic 

 blending of light pink and pale gold with exquisitely 

 formed buds, very high-pointed blooms and 25 to 30 

 flared petals of heavy substance. Flowers are almost 

 always borne singly on the long stiff stems and are not 

 affected by either hot or wet weather. A cutting rose 

 par excellence, it always claims full attention, for 

 besides its attractive color it has tea rose perfume that 

 literally fills a room. Its ability to hold its shape and 

 delicate color is appreciated both in the garden and 

 when it is used in arrangements. The plant is me- 

 dium tall and very free blooming, with plentiful light 

 green foliage. Its high rating everywhere is proof of 

 Tiffany's performance in home gardens.

^^o Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 1969. The word 

 /fu' "fluorescent" has been applied to the color of this 

 ^^1 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 ex- 

 ceedingly well, too. The medium large, 4}^ to 5-inch, double 

 blooms have good strong fragrance. The tall, bushy, well-shaped 

 plant is covered with substantial shiny green foliage — decorative 

 in its own right. 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.

How to Make Cut Roses Last Longer 



In order to make roses last as long as possible in- 

 doors, follow these easy steps: 



Cut them either late in the afternoon or early in 

 the morning; 



As you cut the stems, plunge them at once into a 

 pailful of warm (100 degrees) water; 



Let the pail of roses stand in a cool place at least 

 an hour; 



Before arranging the flowers, add a flower pre- 

 servative to the water in the bowl to be used.
