"FUN" ROSES 



The five roses shown on these two pages may not suit everyone. 

 But for a bit of novelty they are perfect. It's always an exciting day 

 when a new rose opens in your yard, especially something a little 

 unusual. And who doesn't enjoy making the neighbors sit up and 

 take notice? 



Lady X 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Not to everyone's taste, but 

 those who like Lady X LOVE her! These exquisite, well-modeled 

 blooms often win blue ribbons at shows. The soft lilac-lavender color 

 is very delicate — called "the best mauve yet" by many growers. 



Urn-shaped buds open to 60-petaled blooms with a high center that 

 lasts until the petals drop. Every satiny flower is of perfect form and 

 substance, showing off beautifully when cut. Lightly perfumed. The 

 very long stems are straight, sturdy and almost thornless. 



Exceptionally vigorous and upright in growth, with outsize, leathery, 

 healthy foliage. Blooms freely and resists winter well. Plant Pat. 2691. 

 $3.75 ea — 3 or more, $3.45 ea.

Colorama 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Big ruffly blooms, 

 very full and loosely cupped, with light tea perfume. This 

 is a striking two-tone rose — a hot watermelon-pink with 

 warm yellow at the base and on the reverse. Flowers are 

 5 inches in diameter, with 40 to 50 wide petals. Especially 

 bright and clear when the sun shines through them. 



Wonderful stems and bright green, waxy foliage on a 

 medium to tall plant. Primarily a decorative type for the 

 garden. Plant Pat. 2862. 



$3.75 ea.— 3 or more, $3.45 ea. 



Laura 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) "My wife fell in 

 love with this rose" was the comment of a visitor to our 

 garden. And we can understand how this fragrant, lumi- 

 nous salmon-pink flower would appeal especially to women. 

 Extra long buds and nicely double flowers, about 5 inches 

 wide, slightly lighter on the outside of the petals. And this 

 good color lasts until the petals fall. The total effect is light 

 and airy. 



A very strong grower starting early in the spring and 

 reaching a height of 3>2 to 4 feet. An altogether lovely, 

 softly tinted salmon-pink. Plant Pat. 2986. 

 $3.90 ea.— 3 or more, $3.60 ea.
