^National 

 Flower Guild 



(Ch. Mallerin, fall 1930) 

 Introduced in the United States by The Conard-Pyle Co. 



In the fcamous Rose-gardens of Dr. J. Horace McFarland at "Breeze Hill," Harrisburg, Pa., this Rose 

 performed so well over a period of two years that Dr. McFarland tnthusiasticall\- wrote "It is not the most 

 beautiful red Rose that ever liappened, but it is 

 certainlv among the most vigorous of its type, with 

 a fine habit of constant and well-handled 

 bloom." 



This noveltN', another masterpiece of 

 Charles Mallerin, was named for the 

 National Flower Guild because it has a 

 number of excellent characteristics that 

 make a Rose valuable to every 

 gardener. This splendid Rose is 

 well adapted to carry the name 

 of this benevolent Guild far and 

 wide. The plant has Radiance 

 vigor, hardiness, and freedom 

 of bloom, making an upright, \ 

 branching growth, and carries 

 more large, healthy foliage than 

 any other everblooming Rose we 

 can think of. Great, cupped 

 blooms are borne singly on un- 

 usually long stems. From point- 

 ed bud to heavy, full-expanded 

 bloom, the color, which is at < 

 first brilliant scarlet-crimson but 

 later Tyrian rose, never blues. - 

 The fragrance is delightfully 



different from other Roses. Absolutely a worth- ^^ 

 while Rose for bedding or cutting. Rose connois- 

 seurs who have seen this splendid novelty in our 

 extensive Trial-Garden have been particularly im- 

 pressed with it. Certificate of Merit of the First 

 Class from Lyonnaise Society of Horticulture in 

 1929. A choice, continuous-blooming, hardy, strong- 

 growing Rose to use as an attractive hedge plant 

 between properties. $1 each, 25 for $20. See 

 illustration. 



• PRESIDENT PLUMECOCK. H.T. (J. Gau- 

 jard, 1931.) Coppery buff. Mons. Jules Gaujard, 

 successor to the late Pernet-Ducher, is the producer 

 of this magnificent Rose. It resembles the famous 

 Rev. F. Page-Roberts in form and general coloring. 

 The ovoid bud is coppery yellow and opens to a 

 cupped bloom with every broad, firm petal slightly 

 reflexed. The inside of the flower glows like fiery 

 apricot, and the color ensem.ble of the open bloom is 

 coppery buff" with an overglow of deep salmon. It is 

 an upright grower, and the majority of the blooms 

 are produced singly on strong, erect stems. Has a 

 rich, fruity fragrance and is very lasting. $3 each.

 Pyle Co., 1932.) Pearl-pink. See description, page 5. 



• SCEUR THERESE (Sister Ther^se). Pernet. 

 (h. Gillot, 1930.) Chrome-yellow and carmine. The 

 ideally shaped, long-pointed buds are unmatched in 

 color by any other Rose we know. The base of the 

 petals is rich daffodil-yellow which becomes heavily 

 flushed with carmine-red, ending at the tips like a 

 reddish sunset glow. The petals have great substance 

 and in opening they curve back at the tips, making a 

 goblet-shaped flower with the center petals a glowing 

 chrome-yellow. Sweetbriar fragrance. $2.50 each.

 Chambard, 1931.) Coral-rose. This Rose has a

 ing of the buds, on long stems, until deflorescence, and 

 is charmingly attractive in every stage. The long, 

 tapering buds have a rich chrome-yellow base and 

 the opening petals recurve in delightful fashion. In

 stamens are merely seen glinting through the peta- 

 loids. The flowers generally come singly. $3 each.
