NEW BEAUTIFUL 
TRIO 
ARIZONA 
OREGOLD 
SONIA 
Oregold 
> Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) All the blazing 
* brilliance of gold ore has been cap- 
tured in this sparkling new rose. It’s one 
of the most vigorous and_ floriferous 
yellow Hybrid Teas we have seen in many 
years... the winner of an All-America 
Award for 1975. 
Buds are long and pointed, with the 
beautiful rich golden yellow color that is 
so elusive. Large, fully double, high-cen- 
tered blooms of medium yellow are up to 
5 inches across. They have an average of 
40 petals and are moderately fragrant. 
The rich yellow softens as the blooms ma- 
ture but holds a lively yellow for a long 
time. The flowers are very showy, carried 
singly on stems up to 12 inches long. Ex- 
cellent lasting quality, vibrant color and 
delicate perfume make Oregold the ar- 
rangement rose supreme. 
Very vigorous and free blooming, this 
healthy plant grows 3 to 4 feet tall. 
Oregold lives up to the highest standards 
of exhibition Hybrid Teas. A distinctive 
new addition to yellow garden roses. 
Great as a gift, to yourself or a friend, 
beginner or expert. Plant Pat. 3415. 
$5.90 ea.—3 or more, $5.50 ea. 



SONIA 
onia 
(The House of Meilland.) A sophisticated rose of rare beauty and “young” color— 
pink suffused coral and yellow, as though all the pastels of the rainbow were lightly 
brushed across each petal. Fascinating and unusual combination of beauty beyond 
compare at all stages and all seasons... rich coral in cool weather, soft delicate 
coral in the heat of summer. The long buds of classic beauty are what we expect 
only from a florist. Unusually firm, satiny petals unfold slowly to high-centered. 
strong-stemmed beauties. 
Always in bloom. Vigorous, tall, very freely branched, with foliage larger than 
average. So eager to bloom—the more you cut, the faster it grows and the more 
blooms you get. The first rose since Talisman to be equally suited to both garden 
and greenhouse. Named for the young daughter (ar left) of Alain Meilland and 
granddaughter of Francis Meilland, renowned originator of Peace. Plant Pat. 3095. 
$4.50 ea.—3 or more, $4.20 ea.
