{right) Grandiflora. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 7383. This 

 fine rose typifies the true Grandiflora with its won- 

 derful Hybrid Tea-like blooms and its plentiful supply of flowers. 

 Montezuma is a brilliant rosy-salmon color that holds well. The bud 

 is rather short, but shapely . . . very attractive in itself. Blooms are 

 high-centered, composed of 40 petals, and are borne on medium long, 

 strong stems. This is a tall rose growing up to 5 feet; it is bushy, al- 

 most as wide as tall and well-branched. The medium sized foliage is 

 a very appealing semi-glossy, light green.

What Do We Mean By . . . 



FORM — this refers to the shape of the rose bloom. 

 When we say that a rose has good form it simply means 

 that this rose has a shape that is pleasing to the eye and 

 is able to maintain this fresh pleasing look until the 

 bloom is ready to fall. 



SUBSTANCE — is the ability of a rose bloom to retain 

 its color and form for a relatively long period of time — live or cut. 



VIGOR — is the ability of a rose to grow continuously and thus produce 

 constant bloom. Bloom is produced on new growth only and the more 

 new growth a rose plant can produce in a season, the more bloom you 

 will get.

 Pat. 885. This fine All-America 

 1^^ Award Winner is a delightful gold touched with 

 '^^ flushes of pink and vermilion and a dash of copper. 

 Sutter's Gold is a very lively rose that seems to actually 

 gleam as the sun highlights the copper and gold. You'll 

 find that this rose lives up to its reputation as an All- 

 America . . . the medium long bud is slender and well 

 pointed; a classic in itself. As it slowly unfurls the dark, 

 rich copper tones are prominently displayed against 

 shining gold — a rich, deep, luxurious combination. The 

 blooms are medium large, 4 to 5 inches across, with 

 fine texture. It's a solid bloom that holds well and is 

 held firmly upright on good stems. With its rich, in- 

 tense fragrance, bushy but upright plant, large waxy 

 green foliage, and good disease resistance, Sutter's Gold 

 is an iminensely rewarding rose. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea.
