All my life 
I’ve had.a vision 
Of a Rose 
Without a thorn. 
Red in color, 
Rich in fragrance; 
And _ behold, 
This Rose is born.

If you want a really new and thrilling experience in Rose growing then 
you will want to grow a few plants of these Roses. Imagine being able to 
walk among the plants in ycur Rose garden without snagging your 
clothes or scratching your flesh. Imagine cutting an armload of blooms 
and not having a single thorn to prick your fingers or arms. Imagine a 
bush producing bright red, fragrant, very double biooms prolifically from 
June until freezing weather. Then you have an idea of what to expect 
from ‘’Festival.’’ The Climber produces an immense crop of brilliant red 
blooms in June and throws occasiona! repeat blooms throughout the 
summer, however, like all Climbing Roses, it blooms on the two-year 
wood. Each spring remove all but three of the best canes produced the 
previous year, cut these remaining canes back about one-third, work 
some good fertilizer into the soil about the plants and you will be re- 
warded with a magnificent Climber. No thorns to bother you when 
poaeine or working around them; no thorns to tear your skin when 
cutting. 
Plant ‘Festival’, in bush or climber form and you’re preparing your- 
self for a pleasing thrill in Rose growing.
