1946 All-America Rose Trials, and the only Rose thus honored for planting in 1947! The naming *

yam’s RUBAIYAT. It is a brilliant red, with a profusion of long, graceful buds appearing early in

riot of deep, scintillating crimson is revealed in the very hearts of the blooms. And this vivid burst 
of color is accentuated on the outside of the petals by a delicate tone several shades lighter. 
Another gorgeous conquest from the grand old house of the McGredys of Ireland. Here to join the 
numerous McGredy winners of former years. (EuropzAN Ricuts Ruservep.)
