Hybrid Tea. (Weeks.) Here's a splendid new 

 rose in dazzling orange-red, with the mystery and 

 excitement suggested by its "Gypsy" name. Buds 

 are so dark they're almost black, but the long- 

 stemmed flower is a warm dusky orange-red, with 

 a touch of scarlet on the underside. The color is 

 bright and beckoning but not glaring. It becomes 

 even more luminous in hot weather. Blooms are of 

 good size — up to A]/2 or 5 inches — with 35 to 40 

 large satiny petals of excellent substance and a light 

 spicy scent. They have a high pointed center, 

 gradually opening to a wide cupped form. The 

 shape and color of the flower last extremely well, 

 even in hot summer weather. Blooms are borne 

 singly on long strong stems ideal for cutting. 



The Gypsy plant is a tall grower, husky and 

 hardy, with glossy, rich green leaves. Its resist- 

 ance to fungus disease is above average. This is a 

 splendid garden plant that will find a welcome 

 wherever grown. We had the pleasure of having 

 Mrs. Verona Weeks, the wife of Gypsy's hybridizer 

 Ollie Weeks, introduce this fine new All-America 

 rose to our visitors on Red Rose Rent Day, Sep- 

 tember 9, 1972. Plant Pat. 3163.
