(Propagation Rights Reserved) 
A bold red Hybrid Tea with a particularly lovely bud that proudly dis- 
plays its perfection of form. Standing erect on strong stems, the bud 
seems anxious to call attention to itself . . . so proud of its superiority. 
The equally lovely bloom is a luminous crimson, becoming bright red 
as the flowers open. The first two outer petals reflex gracefully, rolling 
back like languid velvet. The bloom is high-centered and bold in its 
color and erect manner. Frequently measures 5 to 6 in. across. A true 
aristocrat in any garden. 
A hardy, vigorous grower with blooms that you can depend on for 
outstanding performance in your garden next summer. In 
addition to its lovely form and color, it has a marked fra- 
grance appropriate for so strong and rich a Rose. 
Perfectly hardy and vigorous, Valiant can be planted this fall 
with absolute confidence that it will add a new note of splendor 
to your garden next year.

Flawless form in an exquisite Rose of deep salmon-pink over- 
laid soft golden orange. Remarkably long-lasting qualities add 
to its usefulness as a cut flower. The ‘‘chic’’ bud is long, slender 
and graceful. Darker in color, it quickly reveals unusual per- 
fection as the flower develops and the waxy firm petals reflex, 
curling back at the outer edges to show soft tones inside the 
petals in contrast to the darker outside. Your admiration will 
become utter amazement and humility as the rich pink of the 
inner petals in the center of the bloom begins to show. The 
wide flaring outer petals lighten imperceptibly to a delicate 
silvery pink with deeper veinings. 
At all stages from the partially open bud to the completely 
developed flower, the outer edge of each petal rolls back touch- 
ing the larger petals beyond it. The overall effect is that of a 
perfect waxy rosette. Remains firm and strong, never losing 
its fresh crisp texture. 
One of the finest garden Roses for cutting because it has es- 
pecially long, strong stems. If cut and conditioned properly 
the blooms will last for an amazingly long time in the house. 
The upright, 2 to 3-ft. bush is hardy, a characteristic derived 
from the wild Nutkana Rose of Alaska. The young new foliage 
has the attractive rich bronze of red barberry.
