WYANT Blue-Blood ROSES— 1943 
This is the largest and most important group of Roses for it is the Everblooming or Monthly- 
blooming class of Roses. It is the group that most people are thinking about when they are talking 
about Roses and furnishes the finest blooms for cutting. 
The bushes usually grow 114 to 3 feet high and should be planted 12 to 15 inches apart in beds. Being 
planted relatively close together they will shade the ground, keeping it cooler and in better condition 
for the Roses during the summer, thereby producing more blooms. 
Alezane. Plant Patent 116. Intense color makes this 
Rose one of the most spectacular newer sorts. The 
urn-shaped buds are brownish red and open to semi- 
double deep apricot or brownish flowers. Somewhat 
subject to black-spot. 27 petals. $1.00. 
Ami F. Mayery. The beautiful shade of cochineal-pink 
is very appealing in the large, semi-double blossoms. 
A new variety well worth trying if you want some- 
ing charming and different. 26 petals. $1.00. 
Ami Quinard. There are some who want the deepest 
red color possible in a Rose, such as is found in this 
one. The long buds, opening into medium-sized blos- 
soms, are very freely produced on an erect, good- 
growing bush. 15 petals. $1.00. 
Antinea. Beautiful blended copper and gold petals 
form an exquisite, long, tapering bud that opens into 
a large, enchanting blossom, but only those who like 
the simple, semi-double blossoms should get it for 
there are only 18 petals. The bush is a medium tall 
grower. $1.25. 
Apricot Dawn. A delightful foolproof variety. Almost 
everyone knows the ease with which Golden Dawn is 
grown, and this sport (variation) of it is just as good 
and is of attractive apricot shading. The colors are 
quite similar to those of Rev. F. Page-Roberts— 
buff-apricot on the inside and deeper apricot on the 
outside of the broad petals. The bush is a strong 
grower and the blossoms are the same size and form 
as those of Golden Dawn, produced as freely, and are 
of rich, spicy fragrance. 42 petals. $1.50. 
Autumn. A spectacular two-tone rose of orange and 
brownish red. Very glossy foliage and a vigorous, up- 
right grower, but it has a drawback—being subject to 
blackspot. 4 petals. $1.00. 
Countess Vandal 
Better Times. Plant Patent 23. The deep cerise 
flowers are large, double, and delicately perfumed. 
Being freely produced on long stems they are ex- 
cellent for cutting. A very successful garden variety 
especially for cool weather. 35 petals. $1.00. 
Betty Uprichard. The two-tone coral color is in- 
triguing. Bush is of foolproof habit, strong, tall, and 
upright. 23 petals. $1.00. 
Brazier. As the name implies, the color is a bright 
flame-scarlet. Pointed buds of burnt-orange open to 
double, fragrant flowers of dazzling brilliance. The 
two-tone petals curl back cactus-like, giving a 
startling appearance. 36 petals. $1.10. 
Break O’Day. Large very double blossoms of orange 
to apricot. Very free blooming considering the large- 
sized blossoms. A vigorous upright grower. About 60 
petals. $1.25. 
Briarcliff. This has replaced Columbia but the average 
person cannot tell the difference. The large, double 
pink blooms of Briarcliff are borne on strong, smooth 
stems. Rich fragrance. 44 petals. $1.00. 
Cecil. A charming single rose of 5 petals. The petals 
are very large and real yellow. A low grower. $1.00. 
Cecile Walter. One of my favorite varieties. The 28 
large salmon petals form a beautifully shaped Rose. 
Long, tapering buds and long stems. The bush is 
medium tall. $1.10. 
Charles K. Douglas. One of the good old standbys in 
red Roses. The large, loose, fragrant blooms remain 
a good color in all kinds of ‘weather and the bush is 
a large, easy grower. 32 petals. $1.00. 
Charles P. Kilham. All who see the well-shaped, beau- 
tiful blooms on this low bushy plant are sure to 
admire it. The fragrant blossoms are deep rose pink 
blended with copper. 50 petals. $1.00. 
Charlotte Armstrong. Plant Patent 455. An All- 
America Rose selection. Delightful long slender 
blood-red buds open into magnificent deep glistening 
rose-pink blossoms. Only about thirty petals but 
they are large, making a full, beautiful blossom. The 
bush is a very vigorous ero giving long strong 
stems, fine for cutting. $1.5 
Christopher Stone. A goid — Rose that is thrill- 
ing in every stage from the bud until the petals drop. 
The very bright, velvety scarlet flowers never show 
any blue in their color and have an intense Damask 
fragrance. .A good grower and bloomer. 30 petals. 
$1.00 
Condesa de Sastago. The intense two-tone color, red 
and yellow, is so striking that almost everyone who 
sees it wants it. Blossoms are large, globular, double 
and very richly fragrant. A vigorous, medium tall 
grower. 63 petals. $1.00. 
Countess Vandal. Plant Patent 38, Charming blooms, 
well formed and produced freely on a good-growing 
bush. The combination of its orange, coral, salmon 
and flesh shades is entrancing. 30 petals. $1.00.
