They’re Talking About Arizona 
and Here’s What They’re Saying: 
A consulting rosarian in Minnesota: “I’m 
sure this rose will please and excite many 
rose growers... the color of the bloom 
with the reddish tint to the edges of the 
petals gives rise to many oh’s and ah’s...a 
most delightful fragrance seems to give this 
beauty a combination that every rose 
grower Is looking for.” 
A horticulturist in Kansas: “Excellent rose, 
outstanding color.” 
Dear Friends, 
The past two years, it has given me 
rare pleasure to bring you the AIll- 
America award winners Gypsy and 
Perfume Delight from O.L. Weeks, 
rose nurseryman and hybridizer, of On- 
tario, California. Now it is a privilege 
to present a 1975 All-America award 
winner from Ollie—ARIZONA, a dis- 
tinctive color on a sturdy bush, most 
appropriately named, reflecting the 
gold and copper for which the state is 
famous. 
In addition, | am pleased to bring 
you RED FOUNTAIN, a_ rugged 
crimson-red climber shown on our back 
cover. Another distinctive new rose is 
SONIA, from The House of Meilland, 
the first rose in a generation to “make 
it” as a greenhouse rose and as a hardy 
garden rose. 
OREGOLD and ROSE PARADE 
are also All-America award winners for 
1975. Each will give you great pleasure. 
Sincerely, 
LICH Aan, L

Arizona (illustrated on front cover) 
») Grandiflora. (Weeks.) This flashy golden copper flower is as colorful as the state it’s 
* named for, suggesting the thrilling shades of the Painted Desert. Buds of coppery 
orange swirl open to double, good-sized flowers of golden copper tinted scarlet. More than 
26 satiny petals roll outward and hold their color for days on the bush or in the home. 
Vigorous, tall, well-branched canes produce a profusion of decorative blooms 
throughout the season. They come on straight, sturdy stems for cutting. Disease-resistant 
and winter-hardy, Arizona is excellent for mass planting, for hedges and background. 
Again we congratulate Ollie Weeks, the hybridizer of Perfume Delight and Gypsy, for 
Arizona and his success in capturing All-America Awards. Plant Pat. App. For.
