GRANDIFLORA ROSE 



Camelot 



GR. (Swim & Weeks) Plant Pat. 2371. We are pleased to 

 offer you Camelot, our other 1965 All-America Rose, along 

 with Mister Lincoln, tiiereby providing you with "double" 

 beauty, prestige and enjoyment (or your garden. Camelot is 

 a luminous coral-pink rose with a lovely shimmering iri- 

 descence reminding one of legends of lovely ladies and gallant 

 knights. This courtly rose was named Camelot after the 

 ancient storied city of King Arthur and his court. It is a 

 queenly rose, regal and classic and well named. It grows and 

 glows with rare beauty in the garden. The large buds, high 

 centered at first, then somewhat cupped, open to blooms 5 

 inches across, each having good, spicy fragrance. These 

 richly petaled, double blooms of firm substance come some- 

 times one and often two or three or more to the stem, as a 

 grandiflora should. You will like the way the long, sturdy 

 canes hold them upright, ready for cutting or admiring. 

 And you will enjoy the 

 abundance of blooms all 

 summer long. 



The plant is tall and vi- 

 gorous, the foliage is al- 

 most as gorgeous as the 

 rose itself — large, lustrous, 

 deep green. \'ou will find 

 this an easy -to -care- for 

 rose, and the lively coral- 

 pink will remain rich and 

 radiant all season long. 

 Camelot will give you com- 

 plete satisfaction if you are 

 the rose-grower looking not 

 only for beauty but also for 

 good fragrance, outstand- 

 ing foliage and a hardy, 

 disease-resistant plant as 

 well. Camelot is a royal 

 rose, beautiful and aristo- 

 cratic enough to be the 

 "favorite" of Kings and 

 Queens — and Gardeners.
