Introduced Last Spring by J. & P. 
Dedicated to the memory of Ernie Pyle at the 1945 Festival of Roses, this

usually abundant fragrance. Bushy, vigorous in growth . . . developed 
from a rugged seedling of the wild Rose of Alaska by E. S. Boerner, 
J. & P. Director of Plant Research. Bringing the rugged strength of 
Alaska to your garden, Ernie Pyle grows with sleek vigor and amazing 
resistance. It is excellent as a cut-flower—keeps a long time; long strong 
stems. A vigorous and bushy plant; grows as high as 2 to 214 ft. Ex- 
travagant display of rose-pink flowers made warm and vibrant by a 
suffusion of yellow starting at the base of each petal. Slow-opening, long- 



— lasting in bloom . . . will be one of America’s most popular pink Roses.

PEACE 
(Plant Patent No. 591) 
All-America Rose for 1946 
Another great new Rose .which is becoming increasingly 
popular. The only All-America Selection for last year! 
The ovoid buds are golden yellow, etched with pink. As 
they open, they change from canary-yellow to pale gold to 
iridescent cream. The petals are edged with apple-blossom- 
pink that deepens as the flower slowly opens to glorious 
5-in. blooms. 
As the flower matures, the petals roll gracefully outward to 
form a very double flower, attractively ape and with a 
high-centered golden heart. Individual petals are large, 
numbering from 40 to 45. The bloom is firm-textured and 
never balls in any weather. Its fragrance is delicate. 
The plant is hardy—vigorous—disease-resistant. Flowers 
are unusually large, on heavy stems that lift them proudly 
above foliage. Needs no disbudding.
