ROYAL HIGHNESS 



/^ H.T. (Swim & Weeks) Plant Pat. 2032. This is a rose you'll take to 

 ^^^ your heart. It's as royal in stature as it is in name. The rose is mag- 

 niliccnt! It ofTers you almost everything you are looking for . . . perfect 

 rose form, wonderfully appealing color, outstanding plant habit — all this, 

 and delicious fragrance, too. The color is something to behold — a soft, 

 pastel, almost frosty pink. A dclighttul and delicate tint. The slim, grace- 

 ful bud opens into a high-centered, outdowing bloom. Row after row of 

 symmetrically arranged petals add to this form. Each single bloom to the 

 stem is held proudly aloft on a tall, strong stem. The plant grows to middle 

 height and is shapely and well proportioned. It is gaily decked out in rich, 

 dark green, glossy foliage. But take one more look at the color ... it is 

 not the ordinary pink; not bright, but subdued; a totally lovely, subtle tint. 

 And the crowning glory is a fragrance that is sweet and enticing. Royal 

 Highness will bring you a rich reward for many, many, years. $3 ea; 3 

 or more, $2.65 ea.

ROYAL HIGHNESS 



"I have said it before and I'll say it agaiyi, that 

 Star Roses have the best root system among all the 

 leading national nurseries I've dealt with. The ^be- 

 ginner' rose grower and experienced rosarian had 

 best get plants where the root systems have been 

 preserved as much as possible, such as yours, or 

 he stands a good chance o/ failure."

TKOPICANA 



/^^ H.T. (Tantau) Plant Pat. 1969. If you haven't as yet 

 A^^ grown or seen this rose, no doubt you have read or 

 heard about it. Tropicana is one of the most popular All- 

 Americas of recent years . . . another in the long line of 

 fine roses developed by Mathias Tantau, one of the 

 great hybridizers of Germany. In addition to win- 

 ning the All-America award, Tropicana has won 13 

 other awards both here and abroad. You seldom 

 see such an outstanding color. It is bright, intense, 

 eye-filling — an orange-red, not deep but full of a 

 luminous intensity. Every cane bears one or more, 

 medium large, 45^ to 5-inch flowers that are quite 

 fragrant; they also last long, holding their color 

 well. An excellent rose for cutting. Notable too is 

 the bush, which has masses of good, exceptionally 

 disease-resistant foliage. It is heavily branched, 

 vigorous and tall growing. Tropicana grows 3 feet 

 in temperate areas and up to 5 feet in warmer sec- 

 tions. This handsome, dependable, distinctive rose 

 belongs in your garden if you pride yourself in 

 growing the finest. $3.50 ea. ; 3 or more, $3.10 ea.
