Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek 
“Destiny’s Rose” 
The 1943 All-America competitive Rose Trials have drawn to a close. Competent judges 
awarded the highest number of merits to our new yellow Rose. This Rose we have named 
“Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek’’, in honor of the First Lady of China, whose outstanding achieve- 
ments and lovely character embody humanity’s highest ideals. Perfectly chiseled petals 
clasped in long, spiral buds unfurl slowly, culminating in limpid, light clear canary-yellow 
flowers of perfect proportions. 
The rich rose perfume of this premier yellow Rose is a fragrance retrieved from the 
past. A haunting scent, recalling the fragrance that hung over China Tea Roses in old 
and forgotten gardens of long, long ago. 
The perfect form, delightful perfume, sheer elegance and vigorous growth, combined 
with those indefinable qualities that breeding alone can convey, truly depict the patrician 
in “Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek’’, the loveliest of all light yellow Roses. 
We offer fine 2-year-old plants at $2.00 each, Doz. $20.00
