2349. ‘This rose has an inviting, deep cool-pink color which 
keeps its crisp freshness even on the hottest days. ‘The beauty of deep pink or 
light red buds opening to an appealing, delightful cool-pink is further enhanced 
because Garden State is so conveniently tall to show them off. Buds are ex- 
ceptionally beautiful—urn shaped, unfurling slowly into a large, lovely, solid 
bloom with 35 to 45 big satiny petals of firm texture. The color, form and 
strong stems make this rose ideal for cutting to use in arrangements for exhibit- 
ing. Very strong, thick canes carry the blooms usually one to the long stem, but 
sometimes in candelabras of several. Foliage is a deep, glossy green, very thick 
and luxuriant. Fragrance is a light tea but very pleasing. Garden State should 
be planted in the “back row,” however, where its impressive stature will not 
be lost.
