Hybrid Tea. (R. Jelley.) Plant 

 Pat. 2746. This Hybrid Tea has 

 the unusual distinction of having two different colors so 

 harmoniously blended it is difficult to tell where one begins 

 and the other leaves off. Summer Rainbow is refreshingly 

 beautiful with petals of rich-textured pink underlaid with 

 a mist of fine chrome-yellow. It is the kind of rose that 

 always seems to sparkle even in the hot mid-day sun. The 

 bud is solid but sculptured, much like the famous Peace 

 rose, and opens into a fully double bloom of 50 to 60 petals 

 with good substance. The plant is of medium height with 

 straight sturdy stems and very full foliage. Blooms come 

 usually one or two to a stem. It's an excellent cutting rose 

 too . . . you'll like Summer Rainbow for its tremendous 

 ability to please.

Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 Plant Pat. 2693. From the first time we saw 

 this rose in our test block, it has been known as Big Red 

 because it is just that ... a big, vibrant, red-red, beautiful 

 rose. The dramatic, dusky, velvet-red blooms are oversize 

 not only in diameter, but in depth as well. In fact, it's the 

 largest red rose we know. At its very best, one bloom alone 

 seems almost like a bouquet. The buds are robust, full and 

 well-pointed, opening into fully double, high-centered 

 blooms. Petals are unusually large, curling slightly in 

 classic rose form to produce an exceptionally firm bloom for 

 so large a rose. The plant is tall and upright, but somewhat 

 spreading, to take care of the many blooms it habitually 

 carries. Excellent large, grey-green foliage covers the 

 plant well.

Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) Plant Pat. 2755. 

 WWOU/ Here is a clear phlox-pink Hybrid Tea 

 $&& r ose as elegant and bright as it is brand new. Bewitched 

 *"■ is a very large-flowered rose, some 5 inches in diam- 

 eter. The beautiful, long, graceful pointed buds, es- 

 pecially attractive at the one-fourth open stage, open 

 slowly to high-centered, perfectly formed blooms of 35 to 

 40 petals. The large flowers are produced freely on long, 

 sturdy stems and will enchant you with their penetrating 

 fragrance ... an hypnotic fragrance comparable to that 

 of Damask perfume. The plant is remarkably vigorous; of 

 tall, compact habit and is covered with a most attractive, 

 medium green, holly-like foliage.

NEW FOR 1968. Hybrid Tea. (Croix.) 

 Plant Pat. 2500. You'll especially like the 

 gorgeous orange-red color of this rose; a warm, rich, orange- 

 red on the outside of the petals with just an added touch of 

 vermilion on the inside of the petals. The medium long, 

 pointed buds have excellent shape and show a bright, eye- 

 catching signal red as they first open. Buds open slowly to 

 a beautiful, large, 43-2 to 5-inch, very solid bloom having 

 45 to 50 petals. Bloom is high-centered at first, becoming 

 cup-shaped with good form, substance and holding quali- 

 ties. This is a strong-growing orange-red rose, too . Upright 

 but well-branched, it grows medium tall with good strong 

 canes. Foliage is moderately large, very full and an at- 

 tractive parsley-green. There's a light, enticing fragrance.
