applied for) 
All the delicate tones and vibrant harmony of a musical Masterpiece seem 
somehow to have found living expression in the exquisite form, enticing 
aroma and sparkling color of this one Rose. Sonata is truly as beautiful as a 
symphonic melody. A cochineal-red in spring and fall, in summer lightening 
to unusual hues of deep, lively pink. In lovely contrast, the outside of the 
petals is several shades darker than inside. The large flowers are perfectly 
shaped, opening gradually and artistically from long, pointed buds of in- 
tense cochineal-red. The foliage is abundant and very dark green, contrasting 
beautifully with the flowers and completing the charm and artistry of the 
entire plant. Growing proudly erect on long, strong stems, Sonata blooms 
abundantly from spring to fall, gracing your garden with ample color and 
providing a generous supply of cut-flowets.
