CLOVERSET HYBRID TEA ROSES 
RECENT INTRODUCTIONS AND RARE VARIETIES 
The following small but choice list includes new varieties and some older 
sorts whose worth has been just recently recognized. 
Most of these new sorts are in the new copper and orange shades, while 
some are reds and pinks. All have been tried here and, given the proper 
attention, will grow and bloom equally as well as the more common 
varieties. 
AMI QUINARD. Black-lustered red. Blackish buds open to semi-double 
flowers of velvety crimson-maroon with a soft black luster; instead of fading, 
the petals get darker as the bloom ages. It has splendid old-time Rose 
fragrance. Strong, upright plant. We consider it one of our finest Roses. It 
is our dependable Black Rose. First-class Certificate, Bagatelle, 1930; Cer¬ 
tificate of Merit, Barcelona, 1930.Price $1.00. 
CATALONIA. Vermilion. This child of two of the loveliest Roses ever grown 
(Shot Silk and Mari Dot) has brought a new color to Roses. Catalonia's color¬ 
ing is so vivid, so different, that we are at a loss for words to describe it 
properly. The buds are deep, rich carmine stained with orange, and open 
to a 50-petaled flower of velvety orange-scarlet, vermilion, to cochineal-red, 
most vivid. Flowers have a rich, fruity fragrance. The plants are of only 
medium height but bushy. Gold Medal, Barcelona, 1931; First Class Certifi¬ 
cate (highest award), National Rose Society Trial Grounds, 1931 .Price $1.50. 
CONDESA DE SASTAGO. Copper and yellow. This Spanish novelty is the 
first double (50 petals) Rose to carry the vivid colors of the brilliant species 
Rose, Austrian Copper. The bud is like a ball of gold with brilliant red 
stripes. When fully open the alternating colors are evenly divided. Here is 
a highly colored Rose with an alluring spicy scent. The plant is unusually 
strong and upright in growth, with foliage well up on the flower-stem. First 
Certificate, Bagatelle, 1932.Price $1.50. 
DIRECTOR RUBIO. One of the most striking Roses we have ever known, 
and the largest Rose blooms we have ever seen. One flower we saw meas¬ 
ured IV .2 inches in diameter; you can imagine the size of the buds. The color 
is cochineal-pink, but that does not describe the brilliance and beauty of the 
flower at all stages from the mammoth, long-pointed bud to the loose, ruffled, 
open flower, and it doesn't fade. The plant is hardly of average height but is 
extra sturdy, and the flowers are held rigidly erect on stout stems. Mild 
fragrance. Gold Medal, Saverne, 1928.Price $1.50.
