NOVELTY GARDEN ROSE 
Fforticulture’s Contribution to Victory 

“*~PEACE?’’ 
All America Rose selection for 1945. This 50 petal Novelty Rose passes through many shades of color 
from planting time until maturity. The opening color is a bright Primrose yellow with the edges of the 
petals tinged cerise. As the flower advances from the bud state to the fully opened flower the yellow 
becomes lemon shade while the pink intensifies to a watermelon shade. One of the chief attractions of 
this lovely Rose is the difference in color between the bud and older blooms on the plant at the same time. 
It is a lovely display of color. It is so unusual that looking at the plant one does not believe that the same 
plant is producing such a varied shading on the same variety. This Rose has a delightful fragrance and 
on account of its exceptional petalage is very long lasting as a cut flower. An additional attraction of this 
Rose is the plant is just as substantial as the bloom. It is about the strongest growing plant that has ever 
been introduced in an outdoor Rose attaining a height of 4 feet or more with flowers produced on long, 
strong stems on which the dark green, leathery, disease resistant foliage is Just another added attraction. 
We have been looking for “Peace” many years and this year we can gratify our wish. If you can have 
only one new Rose in your garden this year, be sure this is the variety you select. Price: $2.50 per 
plant, $25.00 per dozen.

*AARS 
(Patent 607) 
The winner of the All America pink Rose for 1944, named in honor of the wife of America’s great General Marshall. 
The originator of this variety describes it as a Rose of great beauty and delicacy of form—growing vigorously with 
large, open upright blooms of friendly warm glowing pink. Highly praised in all sections of the country. Very hardy. 
The growth and foliage is equal to the Radiance family and outstrips the old favorite President Hoover. Fruity fragrance 
and long stems. Long pointed, firm slow opening buds of coral-pink with suffusion of yellow which retains its fine 
color at all seasons of the year. Prices $2.00 per plant, $20.00 per dozen.
