Kirsten Poulsen. If permitted, will grow to big proportions, but easily 
adaptable; excellent foliage. Blooms continuously in great sprays of single, bright 
scarlet flowers, and presents a “‘big show” when massed. Mrs. Lester says, ““This is 
my favorite red, single rose.” 1.15 
Pink Bountiful. Patent 601. Another soft pink floribunda has stood the 
test of a few years circulation, emerging with a 75% ARS rating. Full-petalled, simi- 
lar to Rosenelfe and the ARS reports reflect their competition Likewise its H. Tea 
form makes it equally effective whether in beds, borders or among your bush plant- 
ings. Tends to be tall, to 3-4 feet. ‘““Why don’t you have it,” has been a much 
used phrase in customer correspondence. ‘Here it is” —now say we. 125 
Pink Rosette. P.A.F. Among the latest of the cluster blooming flori- 
bundas of H. Tea form, to make its bow and bid for your approval. Considerable 
mystery must be attached to its parentage—“unnamed seedling x unnamed seed- 
ing,” but originator Krebs, puts good “blood” in his many fine roses. Cata- 
logue experts, Wayside Gardens, say of it—'Pink Rosette definitely links together 
the glamour and beauty of the present with the style and charm of the past... pure 
peach-pink ... deep green foliage ... extra strong growth ... lasts for days... 
one crop followed by another ... what more could be asked!” Indeed! What more! 
Be reasonable! And besides—its REALLY good! 1.50 
Red Ripples. Patented. Upright, healthy grower to four feet. We rate it 
the best of all the newcomers in the red or crimson color range, both as to plant and 
blooming habit, and the rich, glowing beauty of its clear red flowers. Can stand up 
in hot sun, and like it! 
Summer, 1948 garden notes—‘Tall, handsome as ever. On one cane, counted 50 
buds. Much admired by our garden visitors.” hess 
Rosenelfe. (Sometimes listed Rose-Elfe.) A hybrid polyantha with perfect 
hybrid tea form, about 2% inches across; silvery rose-pink, described La France 
pink, holding its color extremely well in all weather. Excellent plant and a constant 
bloomer. Rosenelfe occupies a unique position, mid-way in size between the charm- 
ing little Cecile Brunner and the best hybrid teas, retaining the fine bud form and 
quality of both. Has been a prime favorite of this writer since its introduction, 
1732; 
Summer, 1948. Our admiration for Rosenelfe grows with the years; nothing in 
the garden can excell it for lasting qualities and it is “good to the last drop.” 1.25 
Smiles. Patent 331. One of the many fine roses created by the late Dr. 
Nicolas, (author also of ‘““The Rose Manual,” among the best works on Roses it has 
been our pleasure to read.) Blooms in generous clusters, of 3” semi-double flowers 
luminous coral-pink, with that happy, cheery look and it’s nicely named. ee 
Snowbank. Patent 279. This writer’s admiration for Snowbank began some 
years ago in the display garden at Paul Howard’s fine nursery, Sawtelle. Alas, this 
interesting test plot is not always kept to the perfection it deserves, but Snowbank 
from early spring to fall managed to put on a fine show, when others of its type 
needed “‘face lifting” and a good “freshening up.” Produces in big masses of 2” 
semi-single blooms, just touched with delicate shell-pink; very bushy, spreading, 
medium height. Mighty good! 1.25
