ARE GOOD FOR FALL PLANTING 



Star Roses can be planted in fall in almost all parts 

 of the country with assured success. This is because 

 the plants have not been forced into fast, soft growth, 



but are grown with care to make them sturdy, hardy, and 

 full of stored-up vitality — for extra vigor and long life 

 when transplanted into your garden. 



A New Kind of Kose 



"Grandiflora" Type 



This is a new classification, for Roses now being 

 developed that are in between the Hybrid Teas 

 and Floribundas in character: in size and quantity 

 of bloom and cluster-habit. Their vigor and great 

 mass of good-sized bloom make them especially 

 showy and useful. These are sure to be popular.

1955 All- America Winner 



• QUEEN ELIZABETH. Grandiflora. (Lammerts.) 

 /jSSs Plant Pat. 1259. This is the Rose that brought to a 

 h»|Q head the need for a new Rose classification. In the 

 ^^ All-America trials, it obviously deserved an award, 

 yet it was impossible to class it properly as either a Hybrid 

 Tea or a Floribunda. The plants are tall (3 to 4 feet,) up- 

 right, vastly vigorous and covered with quantities of hand- 

 some pink blooms that are larger than individual Floribunda 

 flowers and with a different type of cluster. Sometimes there 

 is only one flower to a main stem. More often there are 

 several, but each of these with its own stem, 6 to 8 inches 

 long, is better for cutting as an individual than as a cluster. 

 The blooms are long lasting and more like an H.T. than a 

 typical Floribunda in form, with 15 to 20 petals. 



This blending of good qualities, combining size, beauty 

 and quantity of bloom, supported by an excellent plant, 

 makes Queen Elizabeth a showy, fascinating Rose, in- 

 finitely useful and desirable. $3 ea.; 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 



FRONT -COVER ROSE 



• PRESIDENT EISENHOWER. H.T. (Hill.) Plant Pat. 

 121 /. This is a great red Rose. Its large buds open slowly 

 to 4 to 5-inch blooms with 35 to 40 beautifully curved petals. 

 These are a rich, unfading, uniform rose-red of lasting 

 brilliance. Blooms come singly on strong stems. It is ad- 

 mirably free and continuous in bloom, on upright, bushy 

 plants with heavy canes, 2^ to 3 feet high, w T ith few thorns, 

 and leathery, dark green, disease-resistant foliage. The 

 flowers last well, with strong, very sweet, old-Rose fragrance. 

 This Rose happily combines brilliance, charm and dependa- 

 bility in outstanding amounts. $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $2.20 ea.
