I ^SUSPENSE. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1944. 

 Want a garden thrill you've never experienced before? 

 Want a rose so magnificent, so beautiful that it holds you 

 spellbound as you see its great blooms unfold their rich 

 red and yellow glory? Then — be sure to own Suspense! 

 This is your first opportunity to enjoy a new rose which 

 we feel certain will be one of the very great roses of t he 

 1960's . . . which we know already to be a worthy member 

 of the select group that bears the proud Star Rose name. 

 Suspense is truly terrific! Let's take a close look at it. 

 It's a big rose— a bi-color with petals of rich red plush 

 whose undersides seem to be covered artfully with cham- 

 ois-skin. The combination is most unusual. Imagine the 

 effect as the huge yellow bud opens to exhibit the high 

 quality of the 55 to 60 unfolding red, velvety petals. 



Each flower seems to glow with luminescent beauty. 

 First you have yellow — then yellow and red are seen 

 together in the half-open stage — then another magical 

 change to wonderful, strong red beauty in the fully open 

 bloom. And it's a big bloom! As much as 6 inches across! 

 A bloom gorgeous and magnificent enough to make you 

 think of Hose Shows and winning prizes. The plant, like 

 the flowers, is something special . . . tall growing, strong, 

 good looking. Its thick canes hold the proud flowers 

 high; its branches hold a wealth of good, dark green foli- 

 age; and overall there is given to you the general im- 

 pression of beauty and quality. Suspense is without 

 question a winner ... of prizes— ol admiration — of 

 hearts, too. We're happy to offer it to America's gar- 

 deners. $3 ea.; 3 or more, §2.65 ea.
