“Sonia has to be not only one of the most “Sonia, boy that is something else. All the 
beautiful new roses but without a doubt one rose tours we had come through stopped at 
of the most prolific bloom producers ever.” Sonia... the blooms are outstanding, hold 
J. O., Minneapolis for a long time. They drop clean... it is 
tremendously rich in color.”

THE ROSE OF THE ’70’s 
Grandiflora. (The House of Meil- 
land.) A new and delicate color that 
defies the camera. Sonia, a rare soft 
luminous coral lightly brushed with 
all the pastels of a rainbow. It’s im- 
possible to capture the airy lightness 
of this rose—soft yet lively, rich yet 
luminous. It shines with life and radi- 
ant beauty. The sophisticated rose of 
rare beauty with a “young” feeling. 
The blooms are up to 4 inches 
across, on good strong stems. Petals 
are of such heavy substance that they 
have a longer life than usual. They 
roll back gently and ever so slowly, 
so that an open bloom is a long time 
showing its high-centered, perfect 
form. 
The long buds of classic beauty are 
what we expect only from the florist. 
Exceptionally lasting on the plant 
and as cut flowers. We have had 
them last over eight days in the 
home. 
The plant is vigorous, quite tall 
and very freely branched, with a 
broad but upright habit of growth. 
Foliage is larger than average, fresh 
light green in color. The bush is prac- 
tically always in bloom. So eager to 
grow—the more blooms you cut, the 
faster it grows and the more flowers 
you get. Plant Sonia and you'll have 
one of the best. 
Sonia comes to us from the cele- 
brated House of Meilland in France 
and is named for the 
young daughter of Alain 
Meilland and_= grand- 
> daughter of Francis 
we Meilland, the renowned 
Y originator of the Peace 
rose. Plant Pat. 3095.
