Pedralbes —(C. Camprubi Nadal, 1934)—Very long cream buds. Flowers semi-double pure 
white. Flowers do not ball or discolor like most other white roses. The bush is very 
vigorous and free blooming. 
Percy Izzard—(H. Robinson, 1936)—Long buds of deep cream deepening to yellow at the 
base of petals. Large cream flowers. Vigorous upright growing plant. 
Phyllis Gold—(H. Robinson, 1935)—Golden yellow, paling toward edges. Blooms are well 
formed, with high pointed centre and strong stiff petals. Growth very vigorous and 
upright. Glossy green foliage. One of our best yellow roses.

President Herbert Hoover —A very popular variety with large buds of orange splashed 
with red on outside. Opening to flowers of orange and pink on long stems. Good for 
cutting. Very vigorous growing bush. 
President Plumecocq —Coppery yellow buds opening to flowers of salmon yellow on long 
stems. One of the finest roses of this color. 
Princess Marina —(H. Robinson, 1936)—Delicate apricot shaded and heavily veined salmon, 
the coppery outer petals stained crimson in the bud. Long perfect shaped buds and 
flowers on long stems. This new rose is an improvement over Mrs. Sam McGredy as it 
has a more beautiful color, and the bush is a stronger grower. We believe this is one 
of the finest new roses. 
Raffel’s Pride—(Frank C. Raffel, 1937)—Small beautifully shaped buds of red and gold 
opening to flowers of oriental red on the inside of the petals and gold splashed with red 
on the outside, the red lightening to pink and the gold to yellow with age. This new rose 
is a seedling of Talisman but has much darker colorings. Not much more than two- 
thirds the size but has more petals and produces twice as many flowers. Seldom has 
more than one flower to each stem. Buds open slower than Talisman, and is best in 
warm weather when Talisman is very poor. We have our best buds and flowers of this 
variety in June, July, August, and September here at Stockton. It has done very well 
in other localities where tested. It is very good for cutting, making the most beautiful 
small bouquets and corsages. In these times when most new roses are large, most of 
us welcome a small rose like this one. Every one seeing it, falls in love with it.
