ALL-AMERICA AWARD WINNER FOR 1971 



(^^ Hybrid Tea. (Lindquist.) Plant Pat. App. For. Here's a splendid new rose that performs with a flourish. Perhaps its two most out- 

 ^^ standing aspects are its clear bright orange color and its star-shape when fully open. It's the only Hybrid Tea to win the All-America 

 Award for 1971. Tropicana is one of the parents of Command Performance, as shown by the wonderful color. 



Flowers are of medium size, developing from a long bud. There are about 50 petals, forming a substantial flower with a high furled 

 center. As the bud opens, the petals keep rolling back until each one forms a point, resulting in a star-shaped open flower. The color is 

 a vivid warm orange — on the reddish side — with a lighter reverse. Unfading and unchanging all season. Fragrance is light to moderate, 

 appealing and sweet. 



The tall, very strong and upright plant is covered with dark leathery leaves and continues to bloom freely from early summer to frost. 

 For cutting, the regal buds and flowers are spectacular, with their sturdy stems and brilliant shading. Petals of unusually heavy texture 

 make the blooms last exceptionally well. 

 $4 ea. — 3 or more, $3.55 ea. 



The All-Americas of the year always stir up excitement and anticipation, and we believe this 

 season's winners are a fine trio . . . each one a distinct contribution to our gardens. (See also

ALL-AMERICA AWARD 

 WINNER FOR 1971 



tji Grandiflora. (Armstrong.) Plant 

 ' Pat. App. For. A new Grandiflora 

 that produces quantities of bloom both 

 singly and on big branching canes. You 

 can judge its color from the illustration — 

 deep pink at the petal edge, blending down 

 to carmine at the base. The outside of the 

 petals is this same bright reddish pink . . . 

 new for Grandifloras. The 30 to 35 petals 

 form blooms of medium size (perhaps 3J^ 

 to A]/2 inches) and so well shaped they are 

 excellent for cutting. Mild perfume. This 

 is a tall, sturdy bush with heavy, semi- 

 glossy foliage. Plant it with other tall 

 growers like Queen Elizabeth, where it 

 will not overtop its neighbors. 



The overall impression of Aquarius is 

 of a somewhat formal flower, not heavy 

 but well proportioned and long lasting. 

 As the only Grandiflora to win the All- 

 America Award for 1971, it comes highly 

 recommended.
