*RED EMPRESS 
the Great New Everblooming Climber 
Plant Pat. App. for. This is another great Rose from the famed French hybrid- 
izer, Charles Mallerin. It may well be the crowning triumph of his career. Red 
Empress is a hardy, continuous-blooming Climber with Hybrid Tea-like blossoms 
of a most unusual and striking red. The blooms are large—extra big for a Climb- 
ing Rose, in fact. The color is a distinctive, iridescent red which clears to fine 
cardinal color in cooler weather. If you can imagine this color in blooms with 
excellent form and strong Rose fragrance showing on a lusty plant all season long, 
you will have some idea of the beauty Red Empress possesses and can give to 
the spot you select for it. Growth habit of this fine new Rose is outstanding, too, 
and its attractive foliage which is abundant gives to the brilliant red flowers 
exactly the right kind of background. 
Good as Red Empress is, it becomes even more amazing and satisfying in 
another of its notable qualities. This Everblooming Star Climbing Rose will bloom 
the very first year! This is an extremely worthwhile characteristic, giving you 
immediate pleasure and satisfaction and making Red Empress eminently desirable.
