STAR ROSES . . . 



{lejt) Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) 

 Plant Pat. 2687. This is another of 

 %, those soft, changeable color combinations almost impossible 

 "*' to pin down on a printed page. At various times and 

 in different kinds of weather the colors can vary considerably. 

 But always they are dainty and appealing. As it opens, the bud 

 is urn shaped with sulphur-yellow at the base of the petals that 

 gently becomes camellia-rose at the petal edges. The fully open 

 bloom is cream to light canary-yellow, and as it ages, the rose 

 color at the petal margin becomes more pronounced. This 

 succession of changing colors makes American Heritage a 

 fascinating rose to watch . . . symbolic perhaps of the many 

 strains that have been coinbined to give us our Ainerican 

 heritage. The blooms are composed of about 50 to 60 petals 

 and reach a diameter of 4} 2 to 5 inches. The tall plant has 

 heavy canes that grow upward rather than outward, to give it 

 a compact habit similar to that of the Queen Elizabeth rose.

{lejt) Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Plant Pat. 

 2755. A clear phlox-pink Hybrid Tea rose, 

 (M^ elegant and bright. Its flowers attain a diameter of 5 

 "^ inches and the color is remarkably stable. The graceful, 

 urn-shaped buds, especially attractive in the quarter-open stage, 

 unfold gradually to 35 to 40-petaled blooms of regular imbri- 

 cated form. The large flowers are produced freely on long, 

 sturdy stems and will enchant you with their penetrating fra- 

 grance ... an hypnotic fragrance comparable to that of Dam- 

 ask perfume. Bewitched is excellent for cutting, with its beau- 

 tiful clear bloom, its spicy fragrance and long stems. Bouquets 

 of this rose have been known to outlast most other varieties by 

 several days. The plant has the typical Hybrid Tea branching 

 habit, with heavy foliage that is glossy and quite resistant to 

 mildew. It blooms freely and repeatedly all season. This new 

 rose promises to earn and deserve a prominent place in gardens, 

 for its good lasting color is appreciated both indoors and out.

(right) Grandiflora. (Swim & 

 Weeks.) PlatU Pat. 2132. Here is a 

 big, strong, wonderful white rose . . . the first white 

 Grandiflora. Enormous, long-pointed, gleaming white 

 buds stand tall on their very long, strong stems. The 

 huge, high-centered, fragrant flowers are equally dra- 

 matic with their snow-white petals curling outward in 

 majestic fashion. Along with the large blooms, this rose 

 has unusually good substance, form and holding quali- 

 ties. The upright bloom and exceptionally long stems 

 offer fine roses for cutting. Mount Shasta will not give 

 you an over-abundance of flowers at any one time, but 

 blooin is continuous all season long and the quality is 

 extraordinary. The plant is very tall and strong.
