KATHERINE COWAN f.d. (Floristan Gar- 
dens) Bloom to 7” x 4’. Bush to 5’. 
When the bud opens the folded florets are 
a bright wine color. As the florets mature 
and flatten out this winey shade concen- 
trates into several delicate hair lines that 
vein each brilliant Imperial yellow petal. 
There is no suffusion of color. This is one 
of Floristan Gardens’ best, both for cutting 
and as a garden type. The bloom stays 
on the bush for days and does not shatter.
