(above) Grandiflora. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 



1383. This fine rose typifies the true 

 Grandiflora with its wonderful Hybrid Tea-like blooms and 

 its plentiful supply of colorful blooms. Montezuma is a 

 rose that produces well . . . providing many, many blooms 

 for admiring in the garden or for making beautiful arrange- 

 ments. The color is a brilliant rosy salmon, very 

 distinctive and holding its vivid lustre well. The bud is 

 rather short, but shapely . . . very attractive in itself. 

 Blooms are high-centered, composed of 30 to 40 petals and 

 are borne on medium long, strong stems. This is a tall rose, 

 growing up to 5 feet; it is bushy, almost as wide as tall and 

 well branched so give it room to grow in your garden. The 

 medium sized foliage is an appealing, semi-glossy light green.

Grandiflora. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant 

 ff/UO Pat. 2017 . A red-hot, flaming rose of a 

 brilliant fiery orange mixed with vivid scarlet. Sometimes, 

 particularly in cool weather, the petal edges are tinged with 

 black to produce a unique and most beautiful effect. Quite 

 dark in the tight oval bud, War Dance opens into a flaming, 

 very double, high centered flower. The plant is very stocky; 

 large canes of medium height grow rather spreading — 

 almost as broad as high. The foliage is exceptionally fine; 

 its deep copper-green forms a solid mass over the entire 

 plant. War Dance creates a hot spot of color with just one 

 plant . . . -spectacular when in groups of two, three or 

 more.

 resistance, Sutter's Gold will more than satisfy.
