Santa Anita is an outstanding Rose. The perfectly formed, long, 
pointed buds unfold into beautifully shaped flowers of pure peach- 
blossom-pink. No matter how hot or how brilliant the sun may be, 
the color of Santa Anita remains pure. There is no bleaching or 
discoloring from bud to faded flower. The color is ““sunfast.’’ Santa 
Anita is the first Rose to bloom and it flowers bountifully from be- 
ginning to the end of the season. The plants are rugged and not too 
tall. A lovely pink variety which, because of its merits, belongs 
among the best of the pink Roses.
