“Creme Myrtle” SHRUB ROSE 
As its name indicates, it grows in the form of a sturdy shrub, reach- 
ing a height of 4 to 6 feet in the North and Mid-West, taller in the 
South. Heavy canes grow upright and are extremely thorny. This 
feature makes this an ideal plant for an informal hedge. 
Keeps off 
trespassers and makes a thick screen to insure privacy for outdoor living 
areas. Also fine for specimen plants at the corners of a flower or Rose 
garden. 
This is an everblooming Rose, but, like all Roses 
sporting from a Tea or Polyantha, it blooms only 
on 2-year wood. It will form buds in October for 
the following year’s bloom, hence, should be kept 
well watered through this period. 
We have had some complaints that plants failed 
to bloom the second year where they froze back 
during the extreme cold of the winter of 1947- 
1948, but this was due to the fact that there was 
no 2-year wood left on which to bloom. 
Flowers are of good size, fragrant, and have an 
exquisite shimmering pink color. While not

classed as a strictly double Rose, yet its wavy 
edged petals give the blooms a double effect and 
leave nothing to be desired in bloom form. __ 
Bush is very hardy and may be kept trimmed 
at the desired height and in the desired shape. 
Plant ‘‘Crepe Myrtle’’ Roses if you want to 
have something new and different. Excellent for 
use with shrubs in the border as they provide 
plenty of color when other blooms are scarce. We 
recommend this Rose to our customers, espe- 
cially for the uses described.
