{right) Grandiflora. (Swim & 

 ry(w Weeks.) Plant Pal. 2132. Here is 

 a big, strong, wonderful white rose. The first white 

 Grandiflora. Enormous, long pointed, gleaming white 

 buds stand tall on their very long, strong stems. The 

 huge, high-centered flowers are equally dramatic with 

 their big, snow-white petals curling outward in a majes- 

 tic fashion. Along with the large blooms, this rose has 

 unusually good substance, form and holding qualities. 

 The upright bloom and exceptionally long stems offer 

 fine roses for cutting. Mount Shasta will not give you 

 an over abundance of bloom at any one time, but bloom 

 is continuous all season long and the quality is extraor- 

 dinary. Mount Shasta is a very tall rose with good 

 vigor. Solid, heavy canes hold the big blooms upright 

 under all conditions. Foliage is large, in keeping with 

 the big plant and blooms, and has a most appealing 

 green-grey color. With fine tea fragrance, this lovely 

 white Grandiflora is an outstanding rose in every 

 respect.

{lower right) Grandiflora. (Swim & 

 Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2017. A red-hot, 

 flaming rose ... a brilliant, fiery orange mixed with 

 vivid scarlet. This is an exceptionally 

 vivid color and sometimes, particularly 

 in cool weather, the petal edges are tinged 

 with black to produce a unique and most 

 beautiful effect. The tight, solid, oval 

 buds are an unusual rich, dark red, al- 

 most black, and open into a flaming, very 

 double, high-centered flower. Blooms 

 come one or several to the stem. The 35 

 to 40 petals form a rose of excellent sub- 

 stance and with enough delicate curl 

 to the petal edges to add that special 

 touch of interest. The plant is very stocky; 

 large canes of medium height grow rather 

 spreading — almost as broad as high, so 

 plant this rose in the front row and give 

 it a little extra room to spread out. In 

 fact, with its vivid color and low, compact habit, this is 

 one of the finest "front-row" roses we know of. The 

 foliage is exceptionally fine; its deep copper-green forms 

 a solid mass over the entire plant. War Dance is a 

 rugged, dependable performer that creates a hot spot 

 of color with just one plant . . . spectacular when in 

 groups of two, three or more.

Roses Like to 

 be Fed . . . 



Periodic fertilizing is 

 needed to keep them 

 growing and produc- 

 ing big, beautiful 

 blooms. The newly 

 planted rose should be fed only once the 

 first growing season, in addition to feed- 

 ing at planting time, by giving each rose 

 34 cup of balanced fertilizer in mid-sum- 

 mer. Established roses should be fed 3 

 times a season — 1st feeding, J^ cup of 

 fertilizer per plant just before winter 

 (that is late October in Pennsylvania); 

 the second after spring growth is well 

 started, J-icup, and the third in mid-sum-
