 its early stages. Buds are medium long and pointed, becoming 

 5-inch fiowers of inviting, full-hearted form with light scent. 

 Each bloom opens wide, to show the beautiful large cluster of 

 orange-gold stamens in the center. 



The vigorous bush grows to moderate height, well branched 

 and with strong canes. Foliage is large, thick and plentiful, of 

 waxy deep glossy green that fairly shines.

Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Plant Pat. 1969. This 

 glowing rose was launched with a tremendous 

 splash a few years ago, when the word "fluorescent" was 

 '^^^ used in an attempt to describe its color. The bright, intense

 color holds well, even in the hottest sun.

 elegantly formed and very fragrant. Their 30 petals are arranged 

 with the high pointed center that spells perfection to rose lovers. 

 Their color and beautiful shape make them very popular for 

 cutting, and they are often among the winners at flower shows. 

 Tropicana is easy to grow, for it is thrifty, hardy and free bloom- 

 ing all season. Quite tall and bushy. A true classic.
