This dainty new Rose produces flow- 
ers in quantities that are truly prodi- 
gious. Many stalks break from the 
base of the rugged plants, each 
stalk providing numerous sprays. 
Each stem of the spray is tipped 
with a dainty peach-pink bud, a 
little larger than the well known 
Sweetheart or Cecile Brunner. The 
deep peach-pink changes to salmon 
in the opening flowers, and at the 
height of the season the entire plant 
is a bank of soft pink and salmon. 
This lovely effect can be transferred 
into the home, where you will find 
its delicate flowers last for many 
days.

rapidly attaining popularity as a rock garden ‘’gem’’ and as an edging plant in 
front of Rose beds. The plant grows about 6 inches tall in bushy form, is healthy 
and hardy, and blooms from early summer until frost. The tiny, rose-pink, quite 
double flowers are less than an inch in diameter.

THE ROSE THAT NEVER FAILS! 



Color of Flower: Peach-blossom-pink with silvery reflexed, sharply recurving 
imbricated petals, center showing a lovely orange undertone. Flowers in panicles.

delightfully fragrant, lasting a week to ten days in water when cut. 





Foliage: Bottle-green, rich and clean. Not troubled with black spot, mildew

Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate Zone. Can be suc- 
cessfully grown with little protection in the colder regions where growing Roses 
heretofore has not been possible or exceedingly difficult. 
Use and Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 2 feet, spreading from 5 to 6 
feet or more if permitted. It is a decumbent, spreading, matlike plant, making 
it pre-eminently fit for ground covering, hiding rocky and ugly spots, or as
