In larger individual blooms than most Floribundas, 
and a form more like that of Hybrid Teas. It 
is also more fragrant than most, with a clean, spicy 
scent. Its color is a charming 
blend of pimk tints. The 
daintily formed buds are a 
soft, yet rich pink, flushed 
with yellow at the base. 
They open exquisitely, with 
25 or more petals of shell- 
pink and delicate coral tones. 
We believe this Rose is 
even better than we thought 
at first. Our field-grown 
plants have shown more 
vigor and the bloom size 
and color has been much 
better than those of the 
original test plants. Our 
budded plants grew about 
3 feet high, good and bushy, 
with abundant, highly dis- 
ease-resistant foliage, sturdy 
stems and lots of bloom. 
Many of the blooms last year were almost as big as 
Hybrid Teas, beautiful in arrangements and corsages.

This new garnet-red Rose has already 
won much acclaim in the far west and 
south, and from what we have seen of 
it, we think the rest of the country 
should have a chance to try it also. 
It is a type of Rose for which we really 
need a new class name, as It 1s between 
a Floribunda and a Hybrid Tea in 
character. Buds and blooms have 
H.T. form, frequently come singly on 
long stems, and are large for a Flort- 
bunda. In fact, some growers prefer 
to disbud it and treat it as an H.T., 
others just rejoice in an extra- large- 
flowered Floribunda. Either way, it is 
a fine, attractive, unfading, dark red 
on a vigorous, upright plant. $2 ea.;
