CALIFORNIA ROSES, 
INC. 
CALIFORNIA BEAUTY. (4) Patent No. 333. The hybri¬ 
dizer of this exceptionally long lasting intensely frag¬ 
rant deep bright pink Rose was seeking an improved 
Dame Edith Helen. By crossing it with Hollywood he 
obtained this "Beauty" which we hope will be the 
answer. It promises to be a winner. Received Gold 
Medal of American Rose Society at 1938 California 
Spring Garden Show. $1.00 each, 3 for $2.50. 
CATHERINE KORDES. (3) One of the perfectly formed cut 
flower Roses. The flowers are large, double and of a 
pleasing carmine-scarlet. Moderate fragrance and a 
prolific bloomer. Plants are strong with reddish-green 
foliage. 
COLUMBIA. (3) Clear Imperial pink blooms borne on 
strong stems with few thorns, very fragrant. 
DAME EDITH HELEN. (4) Soft, even-toned pure pink. 
Remarkable for the large size of its very double sym¬ 
metrical flowers, with regularly imbricated petals. 
Intense old Rose fragrance. When properly grown this 
is the best all-purpose pink. 
DIRECTOR RUBIO. (3) Very large blooms develop from 
long buds of deep red. Very good foliage, disease- 
resistant. 
EDITOR McFarland. (3) Perfectly formed flowers of 
clear brilliant pink with strong stems for cutting. One 
of the best keeping flowers offered. 
EMPRESS. (3) This clean growing new bright rose-pink 
has shown up very well with us. It has excellently 
formed exhibition flowers on long stiff stems. Vigorous 
upright grower with leathery dark green foliage. Very 
fragrant and a continuous bloomer. 
HILDA. (3) Very large bud and camellia shaped flowers 
of carmine with light pink reverse. Form of Betty Up- 
richard, but more petals. 
IMPERIAL POTENTATE. (3-4) High centered, lasting, 
fragrant, dark rose-pink slightly lighter on the reverse 
of petals. Upright vigorous grower. 
J. OTTO THILOW. (3) Rich glowing rose-pink. Long- 
pointed, perfectly shaped bud with large open flower, 
high centered and double. A vigorous grower, with 
disease-resistant foliage. Free bloomer. Easily the 
premier among the rose-pinks. New canes always 
breaking from the base assure progressive, constant re¬ 
building of the bush. 
MISS ROWENA THOM. (3) An immense flower on a big, 
bushy plant. Descended from Radiance and Los An¬ 
geles, it combines the best characteristics of both, with 
large, finely formed flowers of rosy mauve with an old- 
gold base. Fragrant and always in bloom. 
MRS. HENRY BOWLES. (3) Warm shade of pink flushed 
with salmon. The flowers are large and keep very 
well after cutting. 
PICTURE (2-3) Each bud is perfectly formed and has 
plenty of petals so that the flowers are long lasting 
without being too heavy. The soft pink underlaid with 
salmon makes this a Rose of distinction. 
PINK DAWN. (4) A fine rose-pink bud opening to a live¬ 
ly pink bloom. The form is ideal for those who seek 
the long cutting buds in good keeping flowers.
