THE CHESTNUT Rose (R. RoxBuRGHI) 
(with our regrets for an unworthy illustration) 
Colette Clement. H. Tea. (1931.) We think Edna Betts Ketchum, of 
Pasadena, California will not object if we repeat her excellent description of this 
charming rose as it appeared in the American Rose Society Annual of 1946, “My 
favorite single is Colette Clement which has the most gorgeous coral-red petals 
I have ever seen. The margins are notched here and there and all are a little wavy. 
At the base of each petal is a splash of gold which tones in with the bright yellow 
staemens. Often the number of petals is twelve although more frequently there 
are eight. The foliage is glossy, dark green and mildew resistant. It might be 
interesting to mention that last February I placed cuttings of Colette Clement in 
sand under glass; they were transplanted to pots in May, and by August, they were 
in full bloom.” Long stemmed, very vigorous to four feet; steady bloom. 1.50 
Crepuscule. Noisette. (1904.) Probably the best of the older apricot 
shaded climbers, with clean foliage, and steady blooming habit. Unfortunately this 
is not a favorite color with the writer, hence enthusiasm is lacking, but perhaps you 
like your roses “cot” color. | 1.75
