HARDY GARDEN ROSES (Continued) 
VANITY FAIR (Roberts) (Patent 583) 
This exquisite shell-pink Rose has created a sensation wherever it has been shown for these past two years. The interest 
in this variety was so decided when we exhibited it in New York two years ago that it was necessary to withhold its 
introduction in order to have sufficient stock to satisfy our customers. There never has been a Rose introduced to date 
that has the heavenly penetrating fragrance of “Vanity Fair” and this is not the least of its many fine characteristics. It is 
a splendid strong grower, producing long pointed buds on heavy stems with very soft, dark green foliage which is an 
excellent foil for the dainty flower. Price: $2.50 per plant, $25.00 per dozen. 
COPPER LUSTRE (Plant Patent 641-Roberts) 
Our exclusive introduction of a new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea Rose. The growth of the plant is very vigorous. 
very much on the order of Rose Rapture. Its blooming habit is free and perpetual and the large dark green leaves are 
most distinctive with their veins and edging of deep red. The stem is strong and upright, oil green in color with large 
red thorns. This is an extremely disease resistant variety. The flowers in the bud form are long and pointed, and are 
about 2 inches in length. The color is a coppery pink between geranium pink and peach red with a large aigret of 
apricot yellow. The blooms are large, measuring about 5 inches in diameter. When first opening the outer surface of the 
petals vary between peach red and jasper red, blending into a yellow base. When the flower is fully opened and for a 
day or two after, the tone is much more delicate. The entire flower appearing to be jasper pink, blending into apricot 
yellow. The marvelous keeping qualities of this variety are not the least of its many attractions. Very fragrant at all 
limes. Price: 2 year old dormant plants, $2.50 per plant; $25.00 per dozen. 
‘<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 intro- 
duced 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.
