RED FOUNTAIN 
Red Fountain new for 1975 
(Williams.) This fine new everblooming Climber or hardy pillar rose is a real find. We are 
proud to be its introducer. Red Fountain is unusually hardy in all climates and is almost 
always in bloom. Splendid for massing and hedges, for screens, barriers and bird shelters. 
A fountain of gracefully arching canes gives Red Fountain its name. The plump, medium- 
sized buds are almost black-red. They open to dark red blooms, at times overlaid with a luxu- 
rious blackish velvet touch. The 3-inch flowers occur in large trusses of as many as 40. And 
there’s an elusive hint of spicy fragrance. 
As a climber, a pillar or shrub, Red Fountain is great. The plant deserves double credit— 
as a Climber and also for mass planting for commercial, industrial and highway landscapes. 
It's wonderful for blotting out undesirable sights, muffling noise, and acting as a barrier. 
Winter-hardy and disease resistant. For public areas where a tough, hardy plant is needed, 
Red Fountain will be hard to equal. Rugged hardiness lowers maintenance costs and adds 
prestige and appeal. 
Also as a free-standing shrub on the lawn, this excellent new rose will create a spectacle 
not to be forgotten. Plant Pat. App. For. 
$4.50 ea.—3 or more, $4.20 ea.

Dear Customer: 
In looking back over some of my 
86 years I realize this is the 48th 
letter | have written to you, our cus- 
tomers and friends. 
What a pleasure it has been to 
bring you exciting new kinds of 
roses. Also the pleasure of Knowing 
the people behind these new roses is 
a rare treat. Only three years ago we 
introduced O. L. Weeks, discoverer 
of Gypsy, followed by his Perfume 
Delight. And now he is established 
among the great rose breeders with 
our cover rose, ARIZONA. Three 
All-America Winners in as many 
years! 
From the House of Meilland we 
bring you SONIA, already the most 
popular rose in Europe. 
My good friend Mathias Tantau 
of Germany has created the near 
perfect, new yellow OREGOLD. 
Once again | present a newcomer 
to the ranks’ of professional 
hybridizers—my longtime friend, J. 
Benjamin Williams. He brings us the 
1975 All-America Award Winning 
Floribunda, ROSE PARADE, and a 
ruggedly “carefree” Climber, RED 
FOUNTAIN. With these Ben has 
reached a long-time goal of giving 
you more beauty and pleasure with 
roses. Ben is a marathon talker 
about roses, or most anything, and 
his enthusiastic effervescence makes 
him a delight to know. 
All five of these are fine additions 
to our list of Star Roses. Enjoy them 
for yourself this spring and for years 
to come. 
Sincerely, 
DLIGW Ages 
S. B. Hutton, Sr. 
Chairman of the Board
