Newest Excitement for Your Garden 
Plant Pat. 1193 
There ts nothing delicate about this newest Floribunda 
from Francis Meilland of France. It’s a gay and 
sassy color that will make you think of the wild pop- 
pies of Flanders fields. You may call it scarlet, or 
orange-red, or spectrum-red, but you'll never call it 
dull! The good-sized, 214 to 3-inch flowers are semi- 
double, with 5 to 9 broad petals that are the most 
velvety of any Floribunda. 
Blooms come continuously in open, well-formed 
clusters on strong stems. The bushy, upright plants 
are of medium height with good, leathery, disease- 
resistant foliage. 
Cocorico is a seedling of Alain and Orange Triumph, 
and we consider it by far the best Floribunda yet in 
this flashing orange-scarlet color. The color fades 
19 
less than most orange-toned varieties and it resists 
burning remarkably well. It makes 4 joyous cut 
flower and a constant bright spot in the garden. 
Cocorico has already received a Gold Medal from 
the National Rose Society of England and awards at 
Geneva, Lyon, Bagatelle, Rome and from the Royal 
Rose Society of the Netherlands. $2 ea.; 3 or more, 
$1.75 ea.; 25 or more, $1.60 ea.
