The most gorgeous assemblage of colors in one flower, ever 
presented by a rose. The bud is long and shapely, develop¬ 
ing into medium sized compactly double flowers; a free- 
bloomer. Here are the strong colors exhibited, mostly in well 
defined angular blocks: gold, apricot yellow, bloodorange, 
deep pink and old rose.
