Your Kose Garden 
THE 1962 ALL-AMERICA CHAMPION 
CHRISTIAN DIOR 
H.T. (Meilland) Plant Pat. 1943. In the short span of years since it won the 
All-America award, this splendid red rose has gained enormous stature among 
roses of this color. The picture gives you a hint of the reasons why. Gorgeous 
color—superb form! The brilliant crimson of Christian Dior is made richer by scarlet 
overtones. When seen in the large 50 to 60-petaled blooms, this color is eye-filling. 
As for form . . . the flowers are beautifully high-centered; the petals, gracefully 
outcurling. Blooms come individually on long stems and are exceptionally fine for 
cutting. They last a long, long time in the vase or on the bush, and unlike many 
other reds, do not fade or lose their bright beauty. Actually, under electric light in 
the house, they seem to be even brighter. Christian Dior blooms abundantly and 
continuously; and the plant, which is vigorous, grows tall in upright style. Its good, 
glossy foliage provides the right background for the magnificent red of the flowers. 
Now add a nice touch of tea fragrance, and you have a red rose—the red rose—which 
has been called “‘the finest in the world today.” $3 ea.; 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

THE ROSE ON 
THE COVER 
Finest Descendant 
of The Great 
PEACE ROSE 
Plant Pat. 2037. American garden- 
ers have now had a chance to see 
this magnificent rose in their own 
gardens, and no longer need to ac- 
cept on faith the almost extravagant 
claims we made for it in last spring’s 
catalog. We knew we were right! 
Now the people who own Chicago 
Peace know it, too! They write us 
about it in glowing terms. The one 
sad note in the short, sweet history 
of Chicago Peace is that its dis- 
coverer, Mr. Stanley Johnston, 
who found this sport of Peace grow- 
ing in a garden near Chicago, lived 
only a week after he, himself, intro- 
duced the rose at our annual Red 
Rose Rent Day celebration on 
September 8, 1962, here at West 
Grove. He never knew how en- 
thusiastically his one-in-a-million- 
find has been accepted; nor will 
know the pleasure it: will give to 
millions in the years to come. 
Chicago Peace is a true color sport 
of Peace ... a carbon copy in 
every respect, but with two ex- 
citing and interesting differences. 
It has a different color, and it is 
fragrant in the old-fashioned way. 
The rich, shimmering pink with 
canary yellow and_ occasionally 
copper tones at the petal bases is 
pure delight. Enormous, full, high- 
centered blooms in the grand Peace 
manner emerge from big, solid buds. 
Strong, medium-long stems hold 
them easily. The plant is Peace all 
over again, too—vigorous, strong 
growing and substantial with heavy 
canes and large, leathery, glossy 
leaves. Of the several sports of 
Peace which have been introduced 
lately, Chicago Peace is, I believe, 
most likely to replace Peace in the 
affections of America’s gardeners. 
It is far and away the best! $3 ea.; 
3 or more, $2.65 ea.
