A Magnificent New Yellow Rose of Unusual Promise 



ALICE HARDING *£*!££, 



The masterpiece of the great French Hybridizer Malerin and incontestably the 

 best exhibition yellow rose produced. Yet, it combines garden qualities rarely 

 found in an exhibition rose — great floribundity and a handsome plant which can 

 be relied on for continuous color. The bud is large, golden yellow flaked with 

 carmine, and the open bloom is of classic form, pure gold, borne singly on long 

 stems, long lasting, and fading hardly any at all. Sweet honey fragrance. Gold 

 medal of American Rose Society, 1936.
