NEW FOR 1967 



Hybrid Tea. (E. G. Hill.) Plant Pat. App. For. 

 Summer Rainbow is a refreshingly beautiful rose 

 that is strikingly different. With large petals of 

 rich textured pink underlaid with a mist of fine 

 chrome-yellow, it is the kind of rose that always 

 seems to sparkle even in the hot mid-day sun. In 

 bud and bloom, this rose has superb form. The 

 bud is solid but sculptured, much like the famous 

 Peace rose, and opens into a fully double bloom of 

 50 to 60 petals with good substance. The plant is 

 of medium height, extremely sturdy with very full, 

 inediiuu green foliage. It is an excellent cutting 

 rose, too, and will provide you with tremendous 

 flushes of bloom throughout the season. 



$3.50 ea.- -3 or more, S3. 10 ea.

Dear Gardening Friends: 



I or voars now, I have hcartilv irc oniincndrd th<' fall plantine; of roses. In fact, we were 

 the first rose growers to rccoe;ni7(' the iik rils of fnll plantinu; and the first to make mature, fall- 

 harvested roses available. 



.\nd I continue to rceoniincnd fall plantintj of loscs lioni late Octol:)er until the tjround 

 h i'</(\s. In fact, we prefer to plant ro.ses in om i;ai liciis liere in the fall for three basic reasons: 



1. Roses planted in the fall become .settled and established. Growth breaks faster and 

 stronner when spring comes, giving a better plant and earlier bloom the first season. 



2. The weather is likely to be mori- pleasant than in \iv\ <arly spring and the .soil dryer and 

 more suitable to work. 



3. Spring is a busy time ffii e\erv gardener. Fall planting gives \n\\ lli.U mucli more hee time to enjoy the beauties 

 of spring. 



Our roses are shipped to nou fiesh-dug from our fields, in prime condition lor (all planting. .'Knd of course, every 

 .Star Rose is guaranteed to grow and blooin. Fall planting does make good sense and I sincerely hope that you will take 

 advantage of the benefits it has to offer. One word of caiuion, however. I o those of you living in areas where winter 

 temperatures arc apt to fall to 10° below zero or more, I would not ri< Dnnncnd fall |)lanting. Benefits here are border- 

 line and I would suggest that you plant your roses in the spring.
