GERANIUM RED cs. 
(Patent Applied For) 
Unusual Geranium Color, Form and Fragrance 
Imagine a Rose the color of a red geranium! That even looks 
like a geranium and has the same wonderful spicy fragrance 
of a geranium! If you can imagine this, you can visualize 
the loveliness and unusual qualities of our new 1948 Rose, 
Geranium Red. 
The 4-in., camellia-like flowers of vivid spectrum-red border 
on the scarlet of the old-fashioned geranium. Heavily | 
scented with the sweet heady fragrance of rose-geranium, 
it will brighten your garden or your home with its freshness. 
When the buds first appear, they are a dark oxblood-ted, 
completely winning your heart as they open slowly, and the 
tumbled pattern of inner petals shows a brighter color in 
lovely contrast to the dark buds. The blooms appear both 
in clusters and also individually on single stems. 
Geranium Red is definitely in a class by itself because of its 
very unusual color and its utterly amazing geranium fra- 
grance. Once you inhale the aroma of this Rose, you will 
not lay it aside until you have satisfied your thirst for this 
new Rose scent.
