rnm/fopo (/p//) Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 7969. One 

 (/l/i/v'U//iu/ yf jj-jg j-i^ost outslanding roses introduced over the 



^ past 10 years. Tropicana has everythincf — vigor, excellent foli- 

 *^^ age, good fragrance and especially fine color — in fact, you will 

 seldom sec a color as outstancUng as tfiis for it is truly a classic. The 

 color is an orange-red, bright, intense; not too deep, but full of a 

 luminous quality that seems to make it come alive. This rich, dif- 

 ferent color holds well, too, making it a fine cutting rose. Every cane 

 bears one or more medium large, 43/2 lo 5 inch double blooms, 

 each with a good, strong fragrance. Notable, too, is tlic well- 

 branched, well shaped bush covered with substantial shiny green 

 foliage; decorative in its own right. This rose is a tall, but bushy 

 grower with good disease resistance. Tropicana is bound to please 

 you beyond expectations — if you have one you will want more. 

 Rarely docs a rose come along that pleases so many people. And 

 this Tropicana has done ever since it was introduced in the fall of 

 1962.

{right) Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 

 Pat. 1912. An exceptionally fine yellow rose that pro- 

 duces a tremendous amount of excellent bloom all season long. In fact, 

 we believe Golden Girl produces more bloom than any other yellow rose. 

 Clear, solid yellow, sculptured buds open into magnificent, perfectly formed, 

 fully double flowers 4 to 5 inches across. The over-all appearance of this 

 rose is unusually good . . . buds, bloom, foliage and plant have a wonder- 

 ful cool, clean, crisp look on a plant of excellent balance and uniform 

 growth. The plant is very upright, shapely, well-branched and vigorous. 

 Beautiful, solid, dark-green foliage covers the plant fully providing a perfect 

 background for the multitude of golden blooms. A "just right" touch of 

 perfume adds to the perfection of Golden Girl. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.

Hybrid Tea 

 Roses 



These are the roses one nor- 

 mally thinks of when the 

 word "rose" is mentioned. 

 Hybrid Tea roses usually 

 have large, pointed buds and 

 normally come singly to a stem though 

 sometimes two or three. Bloom is in the 

 classic style, being usually high-centered, 

 with good form and substance and with 

 their strong stems are ideal for cutting. 

 Colors and fragrance come in a wide range, 

 depending upon the kind. They normally 

 range from 2y> to 5 feet in height. Grandi- 

 flora Roses are a cross between the Hybrid 

 Tea and Floribunda and flower in clusters 

 but have the classic form and are suitable 

 for cutting like Hybrid Teas. They usually 

 grow taller than most Floribundas.
