TROPICANA 



All-America for 1963 



.St. H.T. 



(Tantau) Plant Pat. 1969. This 

 I rose is known throughout Europe as 

 -^ TANTAU'S SUPER STAR, and as 

 such it has won high awards in 9 countries. 

 Here in America, its honors include the City 

 of Portland Gold Certificate as well £is the 

 AARS award. Tropicana's color is bright, 

 intense, eye-filling — an orange-red with enor- 

 mous appeal. Every cane bears one or more A^Yo 

 to 5-inch flowers — fragrant flowers — which 

 last long and hold their color. Notable, too, is 

 the bush which has masses of good, exception- 

 ally disease-resistant foliage. It is heavily 

 branched, vigorous and tall growing (3 feet 

 in temperate areas — up to 5 and 6 feet in 

 warmer parts). I think that in Tropicana, 

 Mr. Tantau, who developed this rose in Ger- 

 many, has produced his greatest in a long line 

 of fine roses. Its fame in Europe has preceded 

 it here and many g£u:deners have waited for it 

 patiently. They won't be disappointed, for 

 Tropicana has all the qualities necessary for 

 both instant success and long-time popularity.

GR. (Swim & Weeks) Plant Pat. 

 2132. Here is the only really tall- 

 growing white rose — also the only 

 white Grandiflora. Buds emd blooms 

 are dramatically large and im- 

 pressive. Flowers are high-centered, 

 the petals broad and substantial. 

 Long stems hold two or three fra- 

 grant blooms — sometimes there is 

 only one. The upright, vigorous 

 plant is distinguished, too, by most 

 interesting gray-green foliage which 

 is beautifully leathery in substance 

 and appearance. Mt. Shasta blooms 

 continuously and freely, afl'ording 

 you the delight of picking the en- 

 trancing flowers .regularly. It must 

 be said of this new white rose that 

 its broad, gracefully formed sur- 

 faces resemble in miniature the 

 beauty of cascading slopes of snow 

 . . . and it is possible (almost) in 

 the mind's eye to see the skiers 

 swish-h-h-ing down them. Fanci- 

 ful? Perhaps! But this is a rose to 

 stir one's fancy! Try Mount Sheista 

 and see for yourself. S3 ea.; 3 

 or more, $2.65 ea.
