Hybrid Tea. (Lindquist.) Plant Pat. App. 

 /^^ For. The only Hybrid Tea to win the 

 ^9£- s All-America Award for 1971 has a beau- 

 tifully formed bud that develops into a flower 

 of medium size and high color . . . warm 

 orange-red, unfading and unchanging all 

 season. This rose has Tropicana as one of its 

 parents, as is evidenced by the wonderful color. 

 Blooms are high centered at first, gradually 

 unrolling their petals to form a star-shaped 

 silhouette. Fragrance is light to moderate, 

 appealing and sweet. 



This tall, very strong and upright plant is 

 covered with dark leathery leaves and con- 

 tinues to bloom freely from early summer to 

 frost. For cutting, the regal buds and flowers 

 are spectacular, with their sturdy stems and 

 brilliant shading. Petals of unusually heavy 

 texture make the blooms last exceptionally well. 



With the All-America stamp of commenda- 

 tion and the strong appeal of its exquisite 

 blooms, this fine new Hybrid Tea will be wel- 

 comed by both new and veteran rose growers. 



$4 ea. — 3 or more, $3.55 ea.
