President Herbert Hoover. A glorious Rose, wonderful¬ 
ly free in the easy manner in which it grows and 
charming in its color arrangement which is a splendid 
combination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet and yellow. 
This combination of colors gives the most dazzling 
color effect imaginable. The buds are beautifully 
pointed, the flowers large, composed of broad, thick, 
heavy petals with moderate fragrance. 
Radiance. (J. Cook, 1908). Brilliant rose-pink buds, 
opening to well formed shining flowers with lighter 
tints on the reverse of the petals; globular in shape 
and very fragrant. The plant makes splendid growth; 
has wonderful blooming qualities. 
Rapture. Pink and coral. An improved Mme. Butterfly, 
with better color and longer lasting qualities. In au¬ 
tumn the tints of pink, yellow and gold on a cream 
background are glorious. Long, strong stems for 
cutting. 
Red Radiance. (Gude Bros., 1916). Big, globular flow¬ 
ers of deep rose-red on strong, individual canes which 
are freely produced all summer until frost. Foliage 
excellent. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. The long, pointed buds are 
coppery red stained on the outside. They open to 
good, full double, fragrant flowers of golden yellow 
particularly high colored in late summer and fall. 
The plant is of vigorous branching habit with beau¬ 
tiful foliage. 
Roselandia. (W. Stevens, Ltd., 1924). Typical Ophelia 
buds and blooms of rich golden yellow, fragrant and 
free flowering. Excellent foliage. A fine yellow Rose 
and a vast improvement on the original yellow 
Ophelia, larger in flower and deeper in color. This 
seems to be the best of a long series of more or less 
yellow descendants of the famous Ophelia.

Roslyn. (Edward Towill, 1929). Beautifully tapering 
buds and large, double flowers of golden yellow with 
orange shading on reverse of petals. Vigorous, com¬ 
pact habit; floriferous. One of the finest yellow Roses. 
Sensation. Splendid large crimson-scarlet, perfect in its 
long, pointed bud as well as in the fully developed, 
sweetly scented, double flower. A strong, vigorous 
grower. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. Most striking Sunflower- 
yellow. Long, pointed buds of exquisite shape and 
very large, double, full, fragrant flowers. Vigorous 
and free growing, and a continuous bloomer. 
Sunburst. Very beautiful, fine yellow flowers, strongly 
suffused with orange at the center; fragrant and well 
shaped. 
Sunkist. Very large, long, pointed buds opening to a 
rich orange-copper flower. 
Swansdown. Large, full, well formed white flowers 
with huge petals sometimes yellow at base. Vigor¬ 
ous growth. 
Syracuse. Tight crimson buds with large, firm center 
cone and wavy petals. The open bloom is very dou¬ 
ble and the outer petals recurve. Blooms last unusual¬ 
ly long, and the brilliant color lasts equally well. Fine 
for cutting. In growth it is upright, tall, and vigorous. 
The abundant, healthy foliage is dark green, leathery, 
and disease-resistant. Rose connoisseurs praise Syra¬ 
cuse highly. It has a mild fragrance. 
Thomas A. Edison. (The Conard-Pyle Co., fall 1931). 
Two-tone pink. It has the sturdy growth and healthy 
foliage that has endeared Radiance to the American 
public. Large, pointed buds are produced in great 
quantities. The color of the open flower is soft flesh- 
pink inside with light lilac-pink on the reverse of 
the petals toning to deep yellow at the base. Blooms 
will last five or six days, if cut in the early bud stage. 
As the flower opens, the petal tips curl outward em¬ 
phasizing distinctly the two tones of pink. 
Talisman. One of the most popular Roses either as a 
cut flower or for the garden. A remarkable color 
combination. The long pointed buds are bright 
yellow. As the petals unfold they develop into fair¬ 
sized, double, fragrant, high-centered flowers that 
combine bright apricot, gold, and deep rose-pink 
into a glittering mass of color. Perpetual and free 
flowering. 
Ville de Paris. A very distinct, rich buttercup-yellow 
without a trace of any other color, retaining its 
richness under all weather conditions. In formation 
it is somewhat similar to Radiance, fairly double, and 
splendid for cutting. A tall, upright grower and a 
profuse bloomer. 
Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in color¬ 
ing—a rich nasturtium-red with coppery suffusion 
overlying a golden salmon ground, varying in in¬ 
tensity under different weather conditions but always 
beautiful and particularly high colored early in the 
season and in the autumn. The buds are long and 
pointed, opening to double, high-centered, very fra¬ 
grant flowers.
