(below) Hybrid Tea. (Swim.) Plant Pal. 1776. Here is a rose 

 famous for its exciting coppery red brilliance of bud and 

 (Mh bloom. Mojave is the rose needed to give a "lift" to an otherwise 

 ■**■ drab spot in your garden. The graceful flaming buds are quite long, 

 more urn-shaped than pointed — an exceptionally fine classic bud. The 

 high-centered, richly scented blooms are of good substance, measuring 

 4 to 43^ inches across. They usually come singly on the medium-long, 

 strong stems, making them excellent for cutting as well as admiring in 

 your garden. The plant is tall, vigor- 

 ous, upright and very free-blooming. 

 Foliage is attractive and large; forest- 

 green in color. This is truly a beauti- 

 ful rose.

Why We Can Make 



Our "Star Rose 



Guarantee" 



If you've read our Star Rose 

 "unconditional guarantee" 

 (found on pages 1 1 , 22 and 27) 

 you know that it is an excep- 

 tional one. We can make this 

 guarantee only because of the 

 quality of our roses. Quality control is the most 

 important factor in our rose growing operation. 

 It begins with the soil preparation and modern 

 contour farming and continues through select 

 understock, expert budding, continuous culti- 

 vation and spray programs, rigid grading, and 

 the finest packaging and shipping methods 

 possible. Without a top quality plant to back- 

 up our guarantee, we could not remain in 

 business and we've been selling roses by mail 

 since 1897.

(below) Hybrid Tea. (Kordes.) Plant 



Pat. 1604. The excellent blend of rose-red 



and cream, the large, well-formed blooms and long 



lasting quality will make Perfecta one of your very 



favorite roses. The large, urn-shaped buds open well, 



in most any kind of weather conditions, to a large A}/2 to 5-inch 



bloom of good high-centered form. The thick, satiny texture of its 



65 to 70 petals gives Perfecta a different quality unmatched by 



any other rose. Blooms come usually singly on medium-long, 



strong stems; are very long lasting, exceptionally so as a cut flower, 



and carry a very good, old-fashioned Tea fragrance. Foliage is 



large and a very leathery deep cress-green.
