J. Otto Thilow. A delightful flower of charming rose pink 
that outsells all of the older pink roses. And it is not at all 
difficult to discover the reasons. It is one of those robust 
bushes that glories in its ability to outgrow and out-bloom 
its companions. Big pointed buds on elegant cutting stems 
are borne all through the spring, summer and fall months. 
The open flowers, full and high centered, are soft pink on 
the petal tips, deepening toward the base. Each, $1.00. 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. When anyone mentions long 
perfectly shaped buds we always think of Kaiserin. Any 
rose that measures up to this variety in bud and full, high- 
centered bloom is good enough to go along with. The plant 
bears plenty of white bloom on long stems that are not al- 
ways as strong as could be wished. Slight fragrance. Each,

WARS. Katherine T. Marshall. We like almost everything 
about this big cup-shaped rose, the tight shapely buds, 
the satiny finish of its 25 crisp petals, its rich rose pink color 
lightly brushed with yellow. We like, too, its sturdy, upright 
growth, its long firm stems and lush foliage. However, we 
wish it bloomed more heavily. Mild fragrance. Pat. 607. 
Each, $1.50. 
Lady Forteviot. Possesses a distinctive coloring entirely 
different from that of any other rose. The long tapering 
buds, golden yellow streaked with red, upon opening, dis- 
play graceful, furling petals of clear burnished gold. And in 
addition the plant is a prodigious grower handsomely cloth- 
ing itself with dark glossy foliage. Heavy stems for cutting. 
Delightful fragrance. Each, $1.25. 
Los Angeles. Is one of the busiest roses of our acquaint- 
ance. From March until winter it produces a constant suc- 
cession of large, full flame pink buds and flowers. An inter- 
esting rose from the first flaming bud until the last curling 
petal has fallen. Each, $1.00. 
PARS. Lowell Thomas. Since its introduction the popularity 
of this meritorious rose has increased surprisingly. For 
form of pointed bud and full (35 to 40 petals) high centered 
canary yellow bloom it has no superior. It is a larger rose 
than Mrs. E. P. Thom, Ville de Paris, Golden Rapture or 
Eclipse and has much more substance than the latter three. 
Excellent stems and disease resistant foliage. Pat. 595. Each, 
$1.50. 
Lulu. Dainty streamlined buds of cheerful coral apricot 
that are perfect gems for cutting. The open salmon pink 
flowers while only semi-double are of perfect form and char- 
acter. Vigorous bush and extremely floriferous. It has been 
one of the most popular roses for over 20 years. Each, $1.25 
Margaret McGredy. The buds of this variety are not spec- 
tacular but the heavily double mature bloom, brilliant scarlet 
overlaid with orange, is perfectly formed and outstandingly 
lovely. Good stems, spreading growth, glossy foliage. Seems 
to carry its flowers into winter better than most varieties. 
Bache pier 
Mark Sullivan. The plant seems to be filled with the joy 
of living and growing and expresses that joy in the amazing 
freshness of its mirror-like foliage, its long firm stems and 
in the symmetry of its big (about 50 petals) glowing, high- 
centered bloom. Each substantial petal is a work of art, 
golden yellow overlaid and heavily veined with cerise and 
rose. Grows tall, shapely and develops a constant succession 
of buds and bloom, the kind you like to cut. Pat. 599. Each, 
S1E253 
Mary Hart. Being a sport of the popular Talisman this 
rose, at least during the cooler parts of the year, may be 
depended upon to supply a surfeit of trim shapely buds and 
bloom, identical to Talisman as to form, character, quantity 
and quality. Habits of growth and general appearance of the 
bush are the same. As with many red roses, flowers will 
burn during hot spells. A little afternoon shade will help.

McGredy’s Ivory. We would include this variety among 
the top three white roses. It possesses fragrance, substantial 
pointed buds, high-centered ivory white bloom on good cut- 
ting stems. Plenty of leathery foliage and excellent growing 
Ikeonnes, Ieven, SHAS), 
McGredy’s Yellow. If you appreciate soft buttercup yel- 
low roses we know you'll enjoy this one. No other rose of 
our acquaintance equals it in substance (45 to 50 big, shapely 
petals), solid buds are long and shapely, stems are perfect, 
leaves large and the bush really grows. Each, $1.25. 
erg Mirandy. All those who live in warm, dry areas have 
been overly enthusiastic over this variety. Garnet red 
bloom with black shading, exquisitely formed and _ heavily 
double are borne continuously on a sturdy and_ heavily 
branching bush. Here in Altadena, particularly during the 
hot summer days, we have enjoyed its lasting qualities and 
deep heavy perfume. During damp foggy weather the flow- 
ers do not open properly: Pat. 632. Each, $1.50. 
“WARS. Mme. Chiang Kai-shek. Since its introduction we 
have heard but one adverse criticism of this rose, that 
being the paleness of its yellow bloom. Especially during 
warm weather the color of both buds and bloom fades almost 
to white. In spite of this we believe the variety deserves a 
place in your gardens for each long, tight bud and spiral 
shaped bloom, borne on strong stems is a picture of grace 
and loveliness. And the bush seems to get a real thrill out of 
just growing. Lemon fragrance. Patent 664. Each, $1.50. 
Mme. Henri Guillot. A lively, lovable shade of warm rasp- 
berry pink in both bud and open flower. Attractive at every 
stage, the bloom becomes more lovely as it unfolds display- 
ing the rich even coloring of its big luxuriant petals (and 
there are about 25 of them). Dressed in clothing of glisten- 
ing green the tall spreading bush grows thriftily. The cut 
flowers have won many firsts in California Rose Shows.

Mrs. E. P. Thom. Introduced in 1926, and a Southern 
California product, too, by the way, this variety is still among 
the top half dozen yellow roses in popularity. Tight buds, 
symmetrical of outline, clear canary yellow without shading 
and full high centered open flowers that lighten in color as 
they age. The stems are all that could be desired in sturdi- 
ness and are lined with dark disease resistant foliage. Strong 
growth. Plant a few and enjoy the happy consequences. 
Each, $1.00. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. A rose that changes color with the 
seasons but is lovely at all times. Extravagant buds of cop- 
pery orange unfold to form full perfect flowers of brilliant 
orange. During hot weather the flowers change to lively 
pink shades. Mild fragrance. Moderate growth. Each $1.25. 
Night. Of the so-called “black” roses we consider this 
variety far superior to any other. In both bud and flower 
the coloring 1s deep crimson brushed with black and maroon. 
During cooler weather the tight dusky buds are perfection, 
the half open blooms, on good stems, display an artistic ar- 
rangement of round shapely petals. Startling spicy fragrance. 
Good growing habits. Flowers will burn during hot spells, 
but you can’t have everything in one rose. Each, $1.00. 
eg Nocturne. All America Rose Selection for 1948. A new 
bright cardinal red rose having the longest, most per- 
fect of streamlined buds. The bloom is interestingly marked 
with deeper shadings of crimson; in hot weather the color 
is somewhat lighter. The fragrance is pleasant, though not 
strong. Plenty of large, richly textured petals of good sub- 
stance. The plant is vigorous and grows quickly into a good 
sized sturdy bush with large, abundant, semi-glossy foliage.
