MPS WMSUM Here is a vibrant, big rose which produces splen- 
& did gleaming golden yellow blooms. From the tightly-curled, 
medium-long buds, King’s Ransom’s big 5 to 6 inch fully double, 
golden flowers show excellent form with delightful, high centers. The 
large, shapely petals flare gracefully outward as the flower opens creating 
an interesting contrast of gleaming highlights and subdued golden 
shadows. The bloom comes singly on long stems; excellent for cutting 
and arranging. The plant is medium tall, and grows fairly upright, with 
good strong, heavy canes. The foliage is a good shiny green on the upper 
sides and a satiny, darker green on the undersides. King’s Ransom has a 
nice lingering fragrance to add to its many other good qualities.

HYBRID TEA ROSES 
These are the roses one normally thinks of 
when the word “‘rose’ is mentioned. 
Hybrid Tea Roses usually have large 
pointed buds and normally come singly to 
the stem; sometimes three to the stem. 
Bloom is in the more classic style, being 
usually high-centered, with good form and 
substance. 
Hybrid Tea Roses many times grow to a 
height of 6 feet or more, with medium to 
long cutting stems. Foliage is somewhat 
larger and more open in contrast to the 
thick foliage of the grandiflora. Colors and 
fragrance come in a wide range depending 
upon the variety. 
Grandiflora Roses can probably best be 
described as having the blooming habit of 
the floribunda but with the height and 
growing habit of the Hybrid Tea.

Ye . . a smoky orange-scarlet, flame-

Flame is a strong, upright grower with many branches and good, medium-heavy canes. Large, glossy 
foliage of rich green adds appeal and good balance to the orange-scarlet blooms. This strikingly dif- 
ferent kind of rose with its strong, pleasing fragrance is good to set a change of pace in your garden.
