*RUBAIYAT. H.T. (McGredy.) Plant Pat. 758. 
pARS Brilliant rose to cerise-red. The new 1947 All- 
. America award winner. It has a graceful, long, 
shapely bud and a wealth of old-Rose fragrance. The 
shining, very bright cerise-red color in the heart of 
the half-open bloom is accented by the reverse of the 
petals, which is several shades lighter; color is darker 
in the fall. The large 
flowers are borne in 
profusion on long, up- 
right stems. The plant 
is tall and vigorous, 
with [uxuriant dark 
green foliage. A remark- 
able feature of Rubatyat 
is that it actually deep- 
ens in color as it opens, 
the bud being appreci- 
ably lighter 1n color. 
Rubatyat was so named 
because its profuse and 
repeated flowering sug- 
gested the line from the 
Rubaiyat of Omar Khay- 
yam: “‘Morning a thou- 
sand Roses brings.” $2 
ea.; 3 for $5.
