All-America Selection for 1946 
This new red Rose has one of the longest, most 
perfect, streamlined buds displayed by any Rose in 
its color. The color is bright cardinal-red with dark 
deep intriguing shadings of Chrysanthemum crimson. 
The large petals have good substance, are richly text- 
ured, and there are plenty of them so that the flower 
lasts a long time. In hot weather the color becomes 
somewhat lighter. The blooms of NOCTURNE are 
pleasantly fragrant, although not approaching Mir- 
andy in this respect. The stems are long, the foliage 
large, abundant, and semi-glossy. The plant displays 
plenty of vigor and quickly grows into a big sturdy 
bush in the garden. 
Reports from the official All-America test gardens 
throughout the country were uniformly good, and 
other test plantings have aroused much enthusiasm. 
Fine 2-year plants. Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00
