GOOD ROSES 

 Fall 1939 



STAR ROSES 



• CATALONIA. H.T. Orange-scarlet. The buds 

 are deep rich carmine stained with orange and open 

 to a 50-petaIed flower of glowing orange-scarlet. Richly 

 fragrant. No other Rose matches it in color and it 

 simply glows like a beacon in our gardens. 



$1 each.* 



• CATHRINE KORDES. H.T. Carmine- 

 scarlet. This magnificent, full-petaled Rose, 

 with rich bronzy foliage, has large, well-formed 

 flowers of glowing carmine-scarlet that come 

 singly on erect, strong stems. You can judge 

 its quality from the fact that Wilhelm Kordes, 

 one of the most famous originators of Roses, 

 named it in honor of his daughter. It has grown 

 in favor with us year after year and we heartily 

 recommend it. $1 each.* 



• CHARLES K. DOUGLAS. H.T. Scarlet- 

 crimson. Lustrous scarlet-crimson flowers, 

 4 inches in diameter, gracefully loose in form, are 

 freely produced on big, bushy plants which are 

 easy to grow. 75 CtS. each.*

• CHRISTOPHER STONE. H.T. Page 13. @ 

 Scarlet-crimson. A thrilling Rose in every way from 

 the bud stage until the petals drop. It is unsurpassed 

 for intense damask fragrance and seldom shows a trace 

 of blue in the color. This is one of the newer Roses that 

 has come to stay for it is "tops" in the reds for quantity 

 of bloom and vivid color. In the fall it is especially 

 lovely when it takes on more petals and blackish 

 shadings appear to soften and enrich the scarlet-crimson 

 of June. 1934, Gold Medal, N. R. S.; First-class Certifi- 

 cate, N. R. S. Trial-Grounds. 1935, Award oj Merit, 

 R. H. S.; Clay Cup {Value SIOOO), jor ''The Best New 

 Rose with True Old Rose Scent." 1937, Gold Medal,

• CONDESA DE SASTAGO. H.T. Page 12. ® 

 Red and yellow. The buds are chrome-yellow and seem 

 to promise a yellow flower. This yellow is hidden, but 

 not lost, when the bloom opens, for it glows through 

 the raspberry-red on the inside of the petals, making 

 a color that is "alive." The lovely, fragrant blooms 

 come continuously on vigorous-growing, upright plants 

 and keep well when cut. This lovely coloring, combined 

 with an adaptability to do well in any climate, makes 

 this a Rose for everybody. Winner of medals in the 

 test-gardens of Europe and U. S. A. $1 each.* (See 

 Star Dozen, pages 12 and 13.)
