R. M. S. Queen Mary 



{Verschuren, 1937.) Plant Patent No. 249 



R. M. S. Queen Mary will be the center of attraction in your 

 Rose-garden this year and for many years to come. Rose lovers 

 have clamored for its introduction ever since it was first exhibited 

 in many of the foremost shows throughout the world. Leading 

 rosarians have given it unstinted praise, acclaiming it the most 

 outstanding of the new Roses. It certainly is beautiful be3'ond 

 description— distinct from anything yet seen in Roses. Its color 

 is a glorious combination of vivid shades, blending rich glowing 

 salmon with an exquisite pure pink, and an orange base. The 

 buds are long and pointed and the flowers large and of beautiful 

 form. They are full enough for all purposes, freely produced on 

 strong, vigorous plants, and delicately perfumed.
