SAN FERNANDO (Above) 
A perfectly shaped, long, streamlined bud of 
an intense brilliant red plus a heady perfume 
are the outstanding characteristics of this 
glamorous Rose. 
The lovely buds develop into remarkably 
long-lasting blooms of glowing currant-red 
changing to bright scarlet as the blooms 
mature. The big, glowing petals are firm 
and healthy, making a long-lasting flower

the last petal drops.

A 
TAFFETA (Below) ORFs" 
Lovely changeable color combinations through- 
out the season make Taffeta a constant source 
of enjoyment in any garden. At various times 
it may be described as rose-pink, salmon or 
apricot, but the predominating color is a rich 
carmine-rose in the bud changing to begonia- 
rose in the open flower. Warm yellow always 
shows on the reverse of the petals. 
A splendid producer of many long-stemmed, 
perfectly formed buds with delicately veined 
petals. These develop into semi-double blooms 
having about 20 crisp petals and a very pro- 
nounced fragrance. The changing colors and 
the yellow reverse of the petals makes the full 
open bloom unusually interesting and beautiful. 
Vigorous and upright, the ee is moderately 
bushy, with deep glossy dark green foliage, 
enhanced by the mahogany-ted of the new 
growth. Tested in all sections of the country, 
Taffeta has proved itself a true All-America 
winner.
