Mrs. Sam McGredy—Fine buds with shades of copper and orange. Flowers are lighter 
shade. Free bloomer. Low bushy grower. 
Ninon Vallin—(J. Gaujard, 1936)—A beautiful color harmony, the outside of petals 
being clear yellow and the inside apricot. Shiny disease-resistant foliage. 
Night—Buds and flowers are very dark velvety red. At times in the Fall buds are black. 
The finest of the so-called black roses. Mildews in cool weather. Slow growing. 
Olympiad—Long, well formed buds of scarlet. Flowers opening to a very deep pink 
with gold at base of petals. Slow growing bush. 
Ophelia—Buds and flowers very pale salmon shading to pale pink and cream on strong 
stems. 
Oswald Sieper—Large buds of white with cream at base of petals opening to large creamy 
white flowers. Low bushy plant. 
Padre—Semi-double coppery pink flowers on vigorous growing upright bush. 
Patience—High centered scarlet buds. Flowers deep pink with gold at base of petals. 
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 center and strong stiff petals. Growth very vigorous 
and upright. Glossy green foliage. One of our best yellow roses. 
Picture—(McGredy & Son, 1932)—Well shaped buds and medium sized flowers of rose 
pink. Fine for cutting. Upright growing plant. 
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 sal- 
mon, 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. 
Rapture—Buds and flowers are the same as Mme. Butterfly, but is a beautiful light 
pink with apricot shadings. 
Red Hoover—A sport of President H. Hoover with the same shaped buds and flowers on 
long stems, but has much more red in the coloring. Fine for cutting. Very vig- 
orous plant. 
Red Talisman—(C. H. Stocking, 1937)—A sport of Talisman. Growth and foliage same 
as Talisman. Buds and flowers are deep red shading to orange red in center. 
Reine Astrid—(Gaujard, 1938)—Bright colored flowers, red on inside of petals and golden 
yellow on outside, on low bushy plant. 
Rose D’Amour—(J. Gaujard, 1936)—Buds capucine red on inside of petals and gold on the 
the outside. Flowers pink on inside and yellow on outside. Very double flowers and free 
blooming bush. 
Rose Marie—Long buds of rose pink, opening to lighter pink flowers. Fragrant. 
Sarah Darley—(Wheatcroft, 1936)—Buds and flowers are a clear golden yellow on a 
bushy plant. Very free bloomer. 
Senora Gari—(Pedro Dot, 1934)—The flower and bush is much like Mari Dot, except the 
coloring, which is a beautiful orange.
