ELEGANCE (Brownell, 1937) 
Plant Patent applied for 
While the color is spectrum-yellow, 
similar to Golden Glow, the flowers are 
larger, often measuring 6 inches across, 
with eight to ten rows of recurved petals. 
In cool weather, it takes over a week for 
the flowers to open after showing a color 
mass of yellow. Established plants are 
therefore in bloom longer than any June- 
flowering climber we have ever seen. Many 
of the blooms produced individually on 
long, stiff stems are of the finest exhibi¬ 
tion quality. Plants are every bit as 
hardy and vigorous as the well-known 
climber, Mary Wallace. Elegance is truly 
a Rose whose yellow sparkle of fresh bril¬ 
liance in the sunshine is a rare sight, never 
to be forgotten. The Brownells of Little 
Compton, R. I., may well be proud of 
originating two such valuable climbers as 
Elegance and Golden Glow after a series 
of experiments and Rose research cover¬ 
ing a period of over thirty years. No. 1 
Grade, $1.50; Extra Grade, $1.75.

yellow. Not hardy in northern climates. 
Midseason; vigorous climber. No. 1 Grade, 
85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00. 
GARDENIA. The small, pointed yellow buds 
open creamy white. Very early; very vig¬ 
orous climber. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra

GOLDEN GLOW. (Brownell, 1937.) Plant 
Patent applied for. A very hardy and vig¬ 
orous climber in a new spectrum-yellow, 
fade-resistant color. Blooms on stiff stems 
are as fine as many Hybrid Teas and are 
borne over a period of about a month in J une. 
Having good China Tea fragrance, Golden 
Glow and Elegance fill the long-felt need for 
good, hardy yellow climbing Roses for the 
North. We have an excellent supply of the 
finest plants growing this year in our nursery 
for the first time. No. 1 Grade, $1.50; Extra 
Grade, $1.75.
