PART Pat. 632. The first-place winner in the 2-year 
X, All-America Rose Competition for 1945. The 
illustration shows the superb form and glamorous

to be a most popular crimson Hybrid Tea Rose for 
years to come. 
_ Mirandy has a splendid plant habit, the bush grow- 
BF ing erect and symmetrical. It is clothed to the base 
with broad, olive-green, heavy-textured foliage. 
The huge, 50-petaled, deep crimson flowers open 
slowly from exquisitely modeled, ovoid buds, often 
Iong-pointed, and filled with rich, penetrating Dam- 
ask fragrance. In hot, moist atmospheric conditions 
the aging flowers turn to a pleasing, popular Dubonnet 
wine color. 
In our Rose-fields this marvelous Rose blooms con- 
tinuously from early in June throughout the hot sum- 
mer months and was blooming last year when stopped 
by hard frost. $2 ea.; 3 for $5,
