 '/'((//j//c/ii and our own enthusiasm has been more than matched by appreciative 

 gardeners. Otto Linne grows to about 3 to 4 feet, its strong canes carrying enormous trusses 

 of deep rose-pink flowers. Foliage is a light, clear green, glossy and very full. Exceptionally 

 vigorous, growing upward, then outward, in vase shape. One truss of flowers makes a 

 whole bouquet. .\ carefree, disease-resistant rose.

OTTO LINNE 



fm/hifimrM/ 



{not illustrated) (Lambert.) This rose is a real old-timer. 



It has been famous and in demand since the turn of the 

 century because of its huge, double white flowers which open from classic buds tinged 

 delicately \\ith carmine-pink. The bush is tall and extremely vigorous. Foliage is an eye- 

 catching, very dark green. Most people use this durable but beautiful rose as a specimen 

 or accent plant, although it can be spaced out in a row to form an aisle of beauty.

"1 just want to take this opportunity to tell you 

 what a pleasure it is to deal with you. Your rose 

 stock has been the finest, and in the cases where 

 I have had to have replacements you have always 

 done so unhesitatingly and quickly. I can really 

 point with pride to my Star roses for they out- 

 shine and outbloom the others. (I have 72 plants 

 in my rose garden.)"
