Rose Ruffles ; Sive rose pink with 8 to 10 huge ruffled 
blooms open at a time on a 30 inch head with 20 total buds. Over 4 feet tall. Some- 
times blooms will reach 7/4 inches. The color of this is good though hasn’t quite the 
refinement that I personally like. However, it is so large, massive and showy that 
I am sure most people will like it. If you like the large ones don’t miss Rose Ruffles. 
Mr. Hatch has fine reports on it.
