» Hybrid Tea. (Lindquist.) Plant Pat. 
& 3063. Loud and clear, this bright orange 
sounds a happy note. The flowers are medium 
size, with 50 petals that curl back intriguingly 
at the edge. Buds are long pointed, usually 
carried only one on a stem. The color is a 
vivid warm orange, on the reddish side, with 
a lighter reverse. Light to moderate fragrance. 
The plant is tall, very strong and erect, with 
dark leathery leaves. Big branching canes 
produce plenty of bloom. This All-America 
Award Winner of 1971 owes its wonderful 
color to Tropicana, one of its parents.

Mister Lincoln 
Hybrid Tea. (Swim & Weeks.) Plant 
Pat. 2370. This rose is blessed with an 
honored name, and we feel rightly so. The 
flower is a rich and lively red, the plant tall 
and stately, the fragrance true and strong. 
These blooms are exactly what you wish for 
in a true red—very full and double, as much as 
6 inches across, coming from firm pointed buds. 
Wide petals curl back from a high center. In 
color it’s a vigorous red in the flower and rich 
dark maroon in the bud. 
The fragrance is really something special, 
even on murky days. The tall bush is covered 
with glossy leaves that are reddish at first and 
then a good dark green. Flowers are long 
lasting, and of course wonderful for cutting. 
We consider Mister Lincoln the greatest red rose.
