NEWER ROSES 
iY yy orp Grandiflora. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 
ve MIST 2974. An introduction of Star Roses that we especially 
wish to point out as a very pleasing Grandiflora. Of medium height, it 
fits easily into any planting scheme. 
Buds are yellow at the base, blending into soft orange-yellow at the 
edge. On the inner surface the color is bright orange-red with pale yel- 
low at the base. Buds are of short pointed form, nicely furled when open- 
ing. Flowers of medium size and maximum brightness are generally in 
clusters of three. Particularly lovely at the half-open stage when the 
orange-carmine color shows on the inside of the petals. Fragrance is 
light and pleasing. The foliage of Starburst is unusually dark, glossy 
and healthy, and it covers the plant right down to the ground. 
$3.50 ea.—3 or more, $3.10 ea.

other All-America Award Winner for 1971, producing 
@ quantities of bloom both singly and on big branching canes. You 
A8B* can judge its color from the illustration—deep pink at the petal 
edge, blending down to carmine at the base. The outside of the petals 
is this same bright reddish pink . . . new for Grandifloras. The 30 to 
35 petals form blooms of medium size (perhaps 314 to 41% inches) and 
so well shaped they will be excellent for cutting. Mild perfume. The 
overall impression of Aquarius is of a somewhat formal flower, not heavy 
but well proportioned and long lasting. 
This is a tall, sturdy bush with heavy, semi-glossy foliage. Plant it 
with other tall growers like Queen Elizabeth, where it will not overtop 
its neighbors. As the only Grandiflora to win the All-America Award 
for 1971, it comes highly recommended.

AQUARIUS 
STARBURST 
“T did not realize there was such a drastic difference 
in good roses and inexpensive ones until we put in 
Star Roses this Spring and have had such wonder- 
ful results. We feel fortunate in getting our roses 
from you and look forward to the new ones ordered. 
I know we have a real job getting all these in, but 
when warm weather comes again and they begin 
to bloom, we will be repaid a hundred fold.”
