f/fl//f////a Meilland.) Plant Pat. 2862. Here 

 is a vivid new rose that seems to delight in its 

 bright colors. Buds are decidedly two-tone. At 

 first they are soft yellow flushed salmon-pink . . . 

 as they begin to open they show the carmine-red 

 on the inner side of the petals. A bright splash of 

 yellow spreads over the red at the center of the 

 flower. Well-pointed buds become 4 to 5-inch 

 flowers that arc the very spirit of summertime, full 

 of zest and life. They have 40 to 50 petals, rather 

 cupped and carrying a light sweet fragrance. A 

 wonderful, free-blooming, very vigorous rose all 

 season. Medium to tall in growth, with parsley- 

 green foliage. Anyone who likes a rose with a 

 Spanish or Mexican air will love Colorama. 

 There's nothing sedate about its singing colors, 

 and it flourishes without any pampering. Another 

 splendid Hvbrid Tea from the House of Meilland.

 (////('/ //('//( Plant Pat. 2S55. An excellent new 

 (^^ .\ll-.\merica rose with a great deal to offer. 

 *~^^ Even one bush in bloom is a striking spec- 

 lacle. for the color is a truly smashing, fiery red. 

 It may suggest a campfire or a splash of war paint, 

 or perhaps you will simply call it compelling and 

 unforgettable. The pointed buds are dull red but 

 as they unfurl they seem to catch on fire. The face 

 of the open flower is orange-red and the reverse a 

 more rosy red. Blooms are 3}^ to 4 inches across — 

 not enormous, but striking nevertheless — with 

 about 50 petals. Well shaped and carried proudly 

 upright, they take possession of the landscape. 

 .Strong stems hold the blooms, sometimes singly 

 and often 3 or 4 to a stem. Foliage is exceptionally 

 dark and thick, a beautiful reddish bronze in the 

 young stage. The plant is tall (to 5 feet), bushy 

 and vigorous, and it blooms steadily all season. 

 Bold and sassy Comanche is an exciting rose ready 

 to grow anywhere.
