A Remarkable New Everblooming Rose 
SIGNORA (Pronounced “Seen-yora.”) It is new in all particulars—bloom, 
(.Plant Patent plant, and foliage. There is nothing like it. It was originated on 
No. 201) the Italian Riviera, land of perpetual sunshine, olives, and Chianti 
wine. Signora was raised by one of the world’s largest growers of cut Roses, who has 
a million plants in full cultivation, and all outdoors. It is, without a doubt, one of 
the grandest Roses that have come to American gardens in many years. 
The long bud is of a warm brownish orange, opening to a lighter tint toward a 
combination of mandarin and salmon. The bloom is double, but not crowded, and 
very fragrant. Close study reveals so many hues and such an ever-changing iridescence 
as to deserve the description of the most polychrome of all Roses. The plant is vigor¬ 
ous and branching, fairly tall growing. A prolific bloomer—as many as thirty-one 
blooms have been seen on one plant at the same time, every one with a long stem for 
cutting. The foliage is unusually beautiful and immune to disease. Signora was the 
first winner of the Colie Oppio Gold Medal in Rome (Italy). Retails at $2.00 each.
