Cwelve Superb Roses of (American Origin 
ANZAC—“The Soldier’s Rose” (Patented) 
Has all the qualifications of a winner: vigor, ruggedness and dependability. When the 
season for action arrives, Anzac will go over the top, and wherever established, will hold its 
ground with the best of Roses in your garden. Anzac, like the Douglas MacArthur, needs no 
coddling. Give Anzac the ordinary requisites that Roses require: water, nourishing food and 
a clean soil—and you will be more than gratified with the successful results. Anzac, ‘’The 
Soldier’s Rose,’’ will always do its duty in your garden. 
The vigorous growth of Anzac foretells the advent of many shapely buds and beautiful 
flowers, Buds of fifty waxen petals steeped in coral and washed with gold unfold into per- 
fectly formed camellia-like flowers. As these flowers expand, the original colors lighten, the 
golden flush at the base of the petals passes to yellow and the coral changes to rosy lake. The 
merging of these colors might well be compared with the ‘’Rose”’ in the sky at dawn, just 
before the sun climbs over the eastern horizon.
