The Brownell Roses 
W’e have gathered together on this page the introductions of the lirownells of Little Compton, R. 1., 
who have gained prominence in recent years in the breeding of Roses, and who are now among America’s 
foremost breeders. 
Working along new lines, and with some novel ideas in mind, they have produced some startling results. 
Looking for hardiness, vigor and color in Climbers, they [produced the magnificent Golden Climber, and this 
year have reached the supreme in yellow Climbers in Elegance. From this race of Climbers they have evolved 
a new race of creeping or trailing Roses, with flowers of a new strain of colors and forms, having disease- 
resistant foliage that requires no attention. Their most recent work has been in breeding an improved type 
of Hybrid Tea Roses, or, as they have named it, Sub-Zero Hybrid Teas, having remarkable hardiness and 
vigor. We have seen and look forward to introducing some of their future spectacular efforts. 
Break o’Day. 
Sub-Zero HT. (Brownell, 1937.) Plant Patent applied Jar. A robust 
plant with large, double flowers of orange-apricot, shaded with lighter 
flesh tints; fragrant. Good foliage. 50 petals. Apparently this is the forerunner of a new race 
of exceptionally hardy Roses which, as reported by the introducer, while killing back to ground- 
Icvel at 10" below zero, can survive at 25" below zero and colder with the assurance of vigorous 
growth and intensity of bloom the following year. With us it is remarkable for its strong 
growth, its fragrance, and for its huge clusters of flowers. A bedding Rose of exceptional 
merit. 1 llustrated on back cover. SI.50 each. 
Creeping or Trailing 
A new departure in Ro.ses for banks, walls, fences, 
roadside decoration, etc. With beautiful, shiny, 
di.sease-resistant foliage and an abundance of flowers 
of Hybrid Tea form, they will beautify many otlier- 
wisc uninteresting spots. They may also be trained 
as Climbers. 
CORAL CREEPER. (Brownell, 1937.) Plant Pat nt 
applied jar. A lovely shade of apricot-orange, fading 
to light pink, contrasting pleasantly with the deep 
red buds of opening flowers. Its stiff, upright stems 
carry large, semi-double flowers. SI each. 
FREDERICK S. PECK. (Brownell, 1937.) Plant 
Patent applied Jar. Semi-double, deep grcnadine-|jink 
blooms, with yellow tints in center, carried singlv and 
in clusters on slightly arched stems well above the 
attractive foliage. The delicate color is unique in 
creepers. SI each. 
LITTLE COMPTON CREEPER. tBrownell, .1937.) 
Plant Patent applied Jor. Single, deep rose-pink, in 
large, open clusters literally covering the dark shiny 
foliage. A lovely color and when in full flower is 
unsurpassed by any other creeper. $l each. 
Climbing 
GOLDEN CLIMBER (Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James). 
l.C. (Brownell, 1933.) Plant Pat-nt No. 28. Large, 
handsome, clear sunflower-yellow blooms on long 
cutting stems, Itorne on a vigorous, glo,ss.v-leaved 
climber. In spite of its reluctance to flower, we have 
always believed in this plant, and this year it has 
come into its own. It flowers only on old canes, but 
its beauty is worth waiting for. Being a very vigorous 
grower, it may need pruning to keep it within Ixiunds, 
but [iruning should be confined to young canes. 
Train it horizontally if possible. Illustrated on oj)- 
|x>silc (tage. $1 each. 
APRICOT GLOW. LC. (Brownell, 1936.) Plant 
Patent No. 2(X). A truly magnificent Climber with 
medium-sized flowers, light aijricot in color, shaded 
.yellow at base, produced in large clusters. I he flowers 
are double, nicely formed, and have a pleasing fruity 
fragrance. May afso be grown as a creeper. SI.50 
each. 
ELEGANCE. LC. (Brownell, 1937.) Plant Patent 
applied Jor. The flowers are spectrum-yellow in cen¬ 
ter, shading to very pale yellow on the outer petals, 
deepening in color as they 0 |>cn. Carried on stiff 
stems 1 to 3 feet long, the huge exhibition flowers of 
Hybrid Tea form open slowly, making this one of the 
longest flowering Climbers of which we know. The 
plant is very vigorous and hardy, with excellent foli¬ 
age. Supreme in yellow climbing Roses, having the 
unbelievable combination of an abundance of long¬ 
stemmed flowers that are perfect Hybrid Teas. Illus¬ 
trated on front cover. SL50 each. 
GOLDEN GLOW. LC. (Brownell, 1936.) Plant Pat¬ 
ent applied Jor. The pure spectrum-yellow Hybrid- 
Tea-like flowers arc 3)^ to 5 inches in diameter and 
have Tea fragrance, varying in number up to as many 
as 1 5 on a stem. Perfectly hardy and vigorous up to 
15 feet or more, with attractive healthy foliage, it is 
an ideal Climber for mass color effect. SI.50 each. 
GOLDEN ORANGE CLIMBER. LC. (Brownell, 1937.) 
Plant Patent No. 96. Large, semi-double flowers in 
delicate shades of yellow and orange, informally
