GYPSY 



GYPSY 



,jB\ Hybrid Tea. (Weeks.) Plant Pat. App. For. As flamboyant as a gypsy, with exciting 

 \g&. s color that lasts even through intense summer heat. Large, satiny, high-pointed 

 blooms of deep orange-red, often touched dusky scarlet on the underside. The urn- 

 shaped buds are almost black-red. These are double, 5-inch flowers with 35 to 40 petals, 

 opening to loosely cupped form. Firm petals and long stems plus its unusual lasting 

 power make Gypsy a gem for cutting. Light spicy perfume. Foliage is glossy rich green 

 and disease resistance above average. 



"An outstanding rose. It grew very well, reached over 5 feet, taller than most in our 

 garden. Foliage was bright and plentiful, stems straight and strong, almost no black- 

 spot" was a report we received from one gardener to whom we sent plants to test. 



Husky and hardy, Gypsy is a rose for every garden . . . rugged and at the same time 



distinctly beautiful. You will delight in the dozens of dazzling blooms Gypsy will provide. 



$4.90 ea.— 3 or more, $4.55 ea.

Dear Customers, 



We proudly introduce to you O. L. 

 W T eeks' new rose GYPSY, an All-America 

 Award Winner for 1973. 



I first met Ollie in 1946 and was struck 

 with his total dedication to roses. As a boy 

 he worked in a rose nursery and at 21 super- 

 vised a large citrus juice processing firm. 

 In 1937 he budded his first 200 roses and 

 eight years later started growing roses full 

 time. Today, his firm — Weeks Wholesale 

 Rose Grower — is known everywhere for its 

 quality plants. 



The year 1954 saw Ollie doing his first 

 hybridizing with a partner, and from this 

 venture came such great roses as Royal 

 Highness, Camelot, Mister Lincoln, Okla- 

 homa, and Angel Face. Now Ollie does 

 hybridizing on his own, and GYPSY is his 

 first All-America Award Winner. 



One of Ollie's secret weapons is his at- 

 tractive, intelligent, devoted wife Verona. 

 She says "Ollie gets fun out of a full hard 

 day of 14 or 16 hours when progress is good, 

 but gets positively sick when he finds 3 plants 

 out of place amongst a million." 



Here then is GYPSY, from O. L. Weeks. 

 Sincerely,
