Almost makes you believe the millennium has arrived doesn’t it? Well, 
it has as far as red Roses are concerned. No more thorns in your fingers 
when setting the plants out; no more thorns tearing at your clothes or 
flesh when spraying or cultivating the plants; no more thorns to dig from 
your hands or arms after cutting a bouquet of Roses. 
“FESTIVAL” gives you everything that is good in fine Roses—monthly 
blooming, hardiness of its parent, ‘’E. G. Hill’’, quick growth, abundant 
blooms all summer and fall, excellent bright red color, and in addition 
the NEW QUALITY of being without thorns. You'll be amazed at 
“Festival’’, just as we were when we first saw it.
