“WHAT KIND IS THAT?” 
Its fun to have roses that people ask about. 
Those shown on these two pages are quite distinc- 
tive, and if you want something a bit unusual we 
suggest that you consider these. The colors are ex- 
citing and novel, and the plants are not prima- 
donnas. Put some extra spice into your rose 
growing by trying something different. Then have 
Open House in your garden, so all can enjoy. 
They're great for arrangements, too. 

ARGEEBECE 
Angel Face 
Floribunda. (Swim & Weeks.) Completely dif- 
ferent in color and shape, and a rose that has 
aroused delighted admiration even from those who 
normally “can’t stand” the idea of a lavender rose. 
This one is a warm rosy lavender washed with ruby in 
the bud. It opens to a dainty bloom 3! inches wide, 
borne singly or in small clusters. Notice the perfect 
form of the flower with its wavy, scalloped petals. 
There’s a rich fragrance, and the flowers last and last 
in the garden or when cut. 
A low, shapely plant, bushy and continuous 
blooming. The winner of the John Cook Medal, given 
a seedling rose of American origin every three years.

CANDY STRIPE 
Lady Elgin 
Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) This unique cutting rose has 
been called “a truly beautiful one and I feel the outstanding rose in my 
garden” by a gardener here in Pennsylvania. Its delightful color is its 
strong point... soft orange on the outside of the bud and a lovely blend 
of butterscotch and apricot in the open flower. Blooms are large, with 
35 to 45 broad petals, and with a subtle fragrance that is the final per- 
fect touch. If you enjoy arranging roses, by all means plant Lady Elgin. 
It will give you a delightful color to work with. 
A strong and upright grower with sea-green foliage that highlights the 
rich blooms. Plant Pat. 1469.
