Here is an unusually beautiful two-toned deep 
pink rose that has excellent high-centered form. 
From the ground up, Swarthmore is an exhibi- 
tor’s delight. It has the longest, largest bud of any 
rose we grow, and as the buds open the petals 
pull away from the center, outward and down- 
ward, in an unusual and attractive fashion ac- 
centuating the size and beauty of the flower. The 
bloom opens crisp and clean displaying its two- 
tones of deep and clear rose-red in a most effective 
manner. Each bloom, with 45 to 55 exquisitely 
formed petals measures up to 5 inches across and 
is produced on tremendously long sturdy stems 
which hold the bloom very high. A fine cutting 
rose, it bears its bloom freely and continuously all 
season long. The plant is tall, but well branched. 
Large leathery, ivy-green foliage covers the long 
canes adding a lush, fresh richness to the overall 
effect of the rose. A light touch of exotic fragrance 
adds a special charm.

MY] Pat. 2278. Candy Stripe is a deep, dusky pink 
with stripes and streaks at random in off-white and light pink 
running through the insides of the petals just as shown in the illus- 
tration . . . a most unusual new rose that is as beautiful as it is 
different. A sport of Pink Peace, this rose produces great quantities 
of big colorful blooms. The big solid but well pointed buds open 
to 6-inch blooms containing 60 to 65 gayly striped petals. The 
plant itself is quite tall, standing strongly upright and has fine 
growing ability. The foliage is very striking, medium green with 
lighter green ribbing and covering the sturdy canes right up to the 
base of the flower. Candy Stripe is more than a good rose. . . 
its beauty is uniquely different.
