Tropicana 4 \\ 
2») Hybrid Tea. (Tantau.) Born and bred in Ger- 
: many, Tropicana has made itself right at home in 
America. In fact, this is a rose for all countries, for it 
wins praise and prizes wherever it grows. The name 
“Super Star” was first used for it, and the word 
“fluorescent” was widely accepted as the best way to 
describe the glowing, translucent color. 
Tropicana ts a bright true orange, intense and stun- 
ning. Long graceful buds and blooms of medium size 
but handsome high-pointed shape make a terrific im- 
pact, especially when used in an arrangement. Their 
fragrance is very pleasant. 
Quite tall and bushy, blooming well all season. A 
true classic. Plant Pat. 1969. 
$4.50 ea.—3 or more, $4.20 ea.

PORTRAIT 
TROPICANA Portrait | 
» Hybrid Tea. (Meyer.) Wholeheartedly recommended as a splendid | 
* light bright pink rose for any garden. It’s a love of a rose if you 
like a sweet pink—and who doesn’t? Cheerful in color... deliciously 
scented... tall, strong, free blooming. Who could ask for anything 
more? 
The flowers are a good size, with plenty of petals that curl back in 
charming fashion. They have the high-centered silhouette so much ad- 
mired. The pink is washed with light gold tones and petals are edged 
with a satiny blush, making a bloom as appealing as spring itself. 
This tall, bushy plant grows very easily and blooms freely and stead- 
ily. You will find it a most satisfying rose by the bedful or as a 
single plant. 
~Portrait, the 1972 AARS winner, was the winner in our garden 
too,” says one grower. It is a triumph for Carl Meyer, an amateur 
whose avocation of rose growing led him to try hybridizing. His rose, 
Portrait is the first one produced by a non-professional to win the All- 
America Award. Plant Pat. 3097. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.65 ea. 
“T was extremely pleased with the roses I bought last year. Even if 
they fail to survive our severe Wisconsin winter, I feel I received full 
value for my money. I’ve had roses for a number of years but never as 
beautiful or prolific.”
