“The Memory Rose” 
We have named this Rose ‘Pearl Harbor,’’ 
intending thus to commemorate in some degree 
the deeds of our fellow Americans, many of 
whom gave their lives that we may live. 
Always, as spring comes with its unbroken 
promise, this Rose will renew itself and trans- 
figure your garden with its tender color and 
fragrance as a harbinger of the faith that now 
unites millions of people. 
Some of the remarkable features of this Rose 
are embodied in a plant of tremendous vigor, 
possibly unequaled by any other Rose in com- 
merce today. It will grow and bloom freely under 
most adverse conditions and there is scarcely a 
period during the season when magnificent buds 
and flowers are not available for garden orna- 
mentation or for cutting purposes. 
The flowers are borne on vigorous canes and 
the bud is exceptionally long and pointed. The 
upper surface of the petals is a delicate shade 
of shell-pink, with golden bronze shadings at the 
base. The outer, or reverse side of the petals, 
is vivid Tyrian-rose. 
Last, but not least, Pearl Harbor is distinct 
from most other Hybrid Tea Roses in the fact 
that the plant is practically thornless.
