 1^^ Here is a new rose distinguished by a continuous suc- 

 "^ cession of changing color — shades of cream with light 

 canary-yellow in the opening flower, contrasting with 

 scarlet and \ermilion at the half-open stage plus a flvish of 

 crimson on the petal edges of the mature bloom. In the 

 bud, American Heritage is perfection itself — very long, 

 tapering and urn-shaped. The mature flowers, containing 

 SO to 60 petals, are quite large — 5 inches across and more — 

 full-bodied and high-centered. It is a tall vigorous plant 

 with large, leathery, semi-glossy leaves ha\ing a striking red 

 coloration l)lended with dark olive-green. A light tea 

 fragrance adds the final touch of distinction to this worth- 

 wliile "new addition" to America's gardens.

HYBRID TEA ROSES 



These are the roses one normally thinks of 

 when the word "rose^^ is mentioned. 

 Hybrid Tea roses, sometimes called 

 "monthly,'''' usually have large pointed 

 buds and normally come singly to a stem 

 although sometimes three. 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, although many are 

 lower growing, with medium to long cut- 

 ting stems. Colors and fragrance come in 

 a wide range, depending upon the kind. 



Grandiflora Roses can best be de- 

 scribed as having the blooming habit of the 

 Floribunda but with the height and grow- 

 ing habit of the Hybrid Tea.
