More New Roses for 1936 
McGredy's Triumph (McGredy, 1935). 
The immense ovoid bud of deep orange- 
pink opens slowly into a magnificent 
great cup-shaped open flower of great 
beauty. We are greatly impressed with 
the size and lovely form and long keep¬ 
ing qualities of this flower, while the 
bush is a great strong grower, almost 
as vigorous as President Hoover. Plant 
Patent applied for. $1.50 each. 
McGredy's Yellow (McGredy, 1935). 
The buds are medium size but beauti¬ 
fully formed, with plenty of petals, and 
are a lovely uniform shade of light but¬ 
tercup-yellow. One of the finest things 
about the variety is the fine bush, which 
is full of vigor and is continually send- 
ding up good stout, straight stems, each 
one surmounted by one of the beautiful 
buds. Stands heat well. $1.00 each. 
Pink Dawn (Howard & Smith, 1935). 
A long, well shaped bud of bright rose- 
pink, with heavy textured petals, open¬ 
ing to a flower of semi-peony type with 
many small petals in the center. A slight 
Tea fragrance. The plant is an exceed¬ 
ingly strong grower, with stout heavy 
stems and big foliage. A splendid flower 
for cutting. $1.25 each. 
Rheingold (Leenders, 1934). The buds 
and flowers are well shaped, with a 
number of very large petals on the out¬ 
side of the bloom and many small ones 
inside, in a very pleasing shade of pale 
gold. One of the most extraordinary fea¬ 
tures of the variety is the extraordinarily 
fine foliage. The large, glossy, bright 
reen leaves, which shine as though they 
ad been polished, make the plant one of 
the most luxuriant and handsome in 
Roses. U. S. Plant Patent No. 138. $1.50 ea. 
Mme. Cochet-Cochet (Mallerin, 1934). 
This Rose has often been compared with 
the older Rose Los Angeles because the 
salmon-pink flowers, shaded apricot, are 
sometimes like Los Angeles in color but 
usually possess a little lighter shade, 
while the buds are more slender, with 
fewer petals. It is said to do better than 
Los Angeles in certain locations. Plant 
tall and slender with long stems. A 
honey fragrance. Plant Patent No. 129. 
$1.25 each. 
The Perfect Rose 
Mme. Joseph Perraud (Gaujard, 1934). 
In 1934 it won the coveted Bagatelle 
Award in Paris for the finest new Rose 
of the year, and in the same year it 
won the famous contest at Lyons, France, 
and was proclaimed "The most beauti¬ 
ful Rose of France", scoring 99 points 
out of a possible 100. After one glimpse 
of its enormous big-petalled, perfectly 
formed buds in an enchanting shade of 
nasturtium-buff, lightening to a luminous 
pink at the edges of the petals, with a 
glowing orange heart that lightens up 
the entire flower, you will agree with 
us that it would take just about any 
prize for which it is entered. Growth, 
stem, foliage and blooming qualities are 
all on a par with those perfect buds. 
$1.50 each. 
Mme. Jules Guerin (Gaujard, 1931). 
Great glorious buds which open to enor¬ 
mous flowers, 4 to 5 inches across, big- 
petalled and long-lasting, with a lovely 
shade of soft fawn or shell-pink, which 
in sunny weather turns to old ivory, 
leaving a gold tinge in the center. A 
strong growing, wide-spreading bush, 
with the flowers borne on heavy stiff 
stems. A rich Tea fragrance. $1.00 each. 
The New San Diego 
San Diego (Forrest Hieatt, 1936). Won 
the first award as the finest new seed¬ 
ling at the National Rose Show in San 
Diego in 1935. We like it very much for 
its substantial well shaped buds of deep 
apricot-gold which open to a full flower 
of pleasing buff-yellow. It blooms freely, 
the growth is of medium height, and it is 
particularly attractive for its bright, 
clean, glossy foliage. Only a slight frag¬ 
rance. A California Rose that is sure to 
make good. Pat. applied for. $1.00 each. 
Southport (McGredy, 1933). The out¬ 
standing characteristic of this Rose is its 
exceedingly brilliant scarlet color. The 
bud is of lovely form but does not have 
many petals and opens rather quickly 
into a good sized, loose, open, perfumed 
flower which holds its brilliant color 
well. The plants are strong growing, tall 
and slender, with the blooms borne on 
long stems. $1.00 each. 
Victoria Harrington (Thomas, 1926). A 
magnificent bud and flower of a uniform 
shade of velvety dark red, with a pe¬ 
culiar brick-red undertone. The color does 
not fade in the hottest sun and remains 
the same until the petals drop. The petals 
are beautifully reflexed, the stems are 
long and stiff, and the foliage is splendid 
on the tall willowy plant. The fragrance 
while not intense is pleasant. $1.00 each. 
Will Rogers (Howard & Smith, 1936). 
At its best this is a wonderful Rose, with 
full-petalled, short, stout buds, of beau¬ 
tiful form in the half open flower, while 
the color is a rich deep crimson with 
black shadings. Unfortunately, the flower 
seems to become small and loses its form 
in hot weather. Possesses an exquisite 
fragrance. Pat. applied for. $1.00 each. 
Sweet Scented , Ivory Tinted 
Sir Henry Segrave (A. Dickson, 1932). This splendid Rose can hardly 
be classed as a yellow, and yet neither is it a pure white. Possibly 
ivory-tinted lemon would be a fair description of the color, but in the 
light shades of Roses it certainly ranks among the best. Its long, tight 
buds are always perfect, and in this characteristic it excels any other 
white or light yellow Rose. Both buds and open flowers have superb 
substance, and there is never a misshapen bloom at any time regard¬ 
less of weather or planting location. It is extremely fragrant—in fact it 
would take more than a few adjectives to do justice to its delicious 
spicy scent. It is an excellent grower of better than average height, 
with the buds standing up straight on stout stems, and splendid for 
cutting. See illustration in color on back cover. 75c each. 
Hoover in a Neiv Shade 
Texas Centennial (Dixie Rose Co., 1935). President Herbert Hoover 
has been an extremely successful and popular Rose, and we fail to see 
how Texas Centennial can fail to please also, because it is a sport of 
Hoover and very similar to it in most characteristics, with the exception 
of color. It has the same strong, tall, vigorous 3 to 4 foot plant, with 
heavy strong stems and magnificent large full buds and blooms—but 
the color is a bright glowing carmine-red which in cool weather be¬ 
comes deeper blood-red. It is going to be wanted in every good Rose 
garden. Plant Patent applied for. $1.00 each.
