STAR ROSE GROWERS . . West Grove, Pa. 



* 



• NUNTIUS PACELLI. H.T. White. Cream-colored 

 buds open to deliciously fragrant flowers of creamy 

 white which soon turn pure white. It is fully double, 

 but opens well at all times. The plants are of medium 

 height and are unusually free in bloom. 60 petals. 

 75 cts. each.* 



•OSWALD SIEPER. H.T. (M. Krause, 1933.) 

 White. One of the finest white Hybrid Tea Roses to 

 date. It has nicely formed buds of pale cream which 

 open to big, loose, double flowers of creamy 

 white. Rich Tea fragrance. We watched this 

 Rose closely for two years and it produced more 

 flowers than we have ever had from a white Rose 

 of its size and they were all of fine form. On 

 account of its large size and faultless form we 

 consider it the finest white garden Rose for M 

 exhibition as well as for cut-flowers for the house. 

 $1 each.* 



• PINK PEARL. H.T. Pink. The finest 

 garden Rose of the Columbia type. Fully 

 double, medium-sized flowers of interesting pink, with 

 wonderfully sweet fragrance, are freely produced all 

 season. The tall plants are bushy and carry good foli- 

 age. One of the best light pink garden Roses grown. 

 70 petals. $1 each.* 



•PORTADOWN FRAGRANCE. H.T. Peach-pink. 

 The 3-inch peach-pink flowers are heavily flushed with 

 orange at base of petals — an exquisite shade. It has a 

 delicious perfume different from any other Rose we can 

 think of — a fragrance one will never forget. Our only 

 criticism is of the plant; it is low and sprawly, rarely 

 over 12 inches high, but is quite free. One of these 

 perfumed flowers a season would pay for the plant, but 

 it produces an average quantity. $1 each.* 



•PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER. H.T. See 



page 14. 



• RADIANCE. H.T. Rose-pink. The most universally 

 popular Rose in America. Radiance has become the 

 standard by which new Roses are measured. Two- 

 toned pink, cupped flowers are produced in endless 

 succession on foolproof plants. Delicious fragrance. 

 25 petals. 75 cts. each.*

•PRESIDENT PLUMECOCQ. H.T. See illustration. 

 Coppery buff. Coppery yellow, ovoid buds open to 

 large, cupped blooms of coppery buff with an over- 

 glow of deep salmon. An upright grower, producing 

 quantities of long-lasting, fragrant flowers, with 30 

 petals or more, throughout the entire season. The 

 flowers are carried on strong stems and the color meets 

 the requirements of those who like Roses of soft tones. 

 The coppery buff of this lovely variety will never clash 

 with any other color. Plant is strong and upright in 

 growth. Introduced only four years ago, it has already 

 attained great popularity. Certificate of 

 Merit, International Rose Test-Garden, 

 Portland, Ore., 1934. $1 each.* 



•RAPTURE. H.T. Pink and 

 yellow. A perfect cut-flower, 

 coming on stems that are al- 

 most thornless. Fragrant. 25 

 petals. Plants make average 

 growth. 75 cts. each.* 



•RED RADIANCE. H.T. 

 Cerise-red. A sport of Radi- 

 ance, it has the same form, 

 habit of growth, fragrance, and 

 healthy foliage. The difference 

 is in the cerise-red color. 25 to 

 30 petals. 75 cts. each.* 



•Souv. de Mme. C. Chambard. $1.25 each

•SOUV. DE MME. C. 

 CHAMBARD. H.T. (C. 



Chambard, 1931.) See illustra- 

 tion. Coral-pink. Chosen as 

 the most beautiful Rose of 

 France for 1932. The buds are 

 large, long-pointed, coral in 

 color, and slowly unfold to a 

 coral-pink flower developing a 

 satiny peach tint and sheen 

 about the loveliest finish we have 

 ever seen on a Rose petal. Its fragrance is 

 simply delicious so that we have not only 

 one of the most beautiful Roses but one of 

 the sweetest. The plant is free in bloom. Its 

 long stems and perfect form make it a splen- 

 did cut-flower. 35 to 40 petals. Mrs. John Laing is the 

 mother of this Rose, so, being half Hybrid Perpetual, 

 it is hardier than most Hybrid Teas. Certificate of 

 Merit, Bagatelle, 1931; Gold Medal, Lyon, 1932; 

 Bronze Medal, Portland, Ore., 1932. $1.25 each.*
