ohuyge ° (below) Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant 
Mvistit Wi Pat. 1943. Magnificent crimson-red overlaid with an 
& iridescent scarlet combine with exquisite form to make Christian Dior an 
488° outstanding red rose. This is a rich, exciting rose whose vivid, velvety red 
coloring remains beautifully steadfast throughout its life regardless of time of 
season or weather. It does not ‘“‘blue” as it ages—making it an exceptionally 
fine rose for cutting. In fact, the color actually grows brighter with artificial 
lighting. 
The Christian Dior flower is solidly substantial, its 50 to 60 petals forming a big 
bloom which is high-centered and very double, with an excellent exhibition 
quality. ‘The bud is medium large and pointed, opens slowly, adding to the 
long lasting quality of the flower. The bush is tall, vigorous and upright, best 
planted in the back row. Rich green foliage and a light tea fragrance accent 
the superb quality and beauty of this extraordinary red rose.

Wy Vy ofa (right) Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant Pat. 2732. Here 
i, Y, L Masha is a big, strong, wonderful white rose. The first white grandi- 
flora. 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 soft, billowy manner. Despite 
the large blooms and billowy effect, this rose has unusually good substance, form 
and holding qualities. The upright bloom and exceptionally long stems offer 
fine roses for cutting and arranging. Mt. Shasta will not give you an over abun- 
dance of bloom at any one time, but bloom is continuous all season long and the 
quality is extraordinary. Mt. Shasta is a very tall rose with excellent 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 its fine tea fragrance, this lovely white grandiflora is an 
outstanding rose from every aspect.
