ROSES BY TUTTLE BROS. 
BEFORE ORDERING, READ WHAT FOLLOWS 
Twenty-five years ago we formulated a policy in regard to 
the selection of rose varieties for your gardens and ours. 
First, we had to satisfy ourselves a rose had “what it takes” 
to justify itself a place in Southern California plantings. 
It might be a grand rose in a colder, hotter or drier climate, 
but what about its actions here? We had to know, still have 
to know. “ONE SWALLOW DOESN’T MAKE A SUM- 
MER.” Testing of a rose for one or two years in a given 
locality is not absolute proof of its future abilities. However, 
our judgment of which roses to pass on to you, based on 
eventual performance, has been far above the average. We 
know, for thousands of you have said so. 
Before ordering read the text of the descriptions. Some 
very excellent roses have faults you may not wish to tolerate. 
Others succeed better in one location than in another. THE 
TEXT TELLS THE STORY! If in doubt, ask us. WE 
KNOW OUR ROSES and will be glad to help you. 
We ship Roses to any point in the United States, Express 
or Parcel Post charges prepaid. See page 2. 
See page 49 for planting and cultural information.

BUSH ROSES 
Autumn. And how well the rose is named, for each crisp 
petal, and there are plenty of them, is a riot of brilliant fall 
colors, gold, red, burnt-orange and bronze. The plant grows 
tall and compact and produces its tight buds on long sturdy 
stems continuously from April until Winter. Lush, dark, 
handsome foliage and pleasant fragrance. Each, $1.00. 
“WARS California. A unique and lovely shade of ruddy orange 
softened with saffron yellow. While the color of the 
bloom is much stronger during cool weather it is pleasing at 
all times. Long buds, big crisp petals, recurrent bloom, 
strong stems and vigorous growth. Pat. 449. Each, $1.25. 
Charlotte. While slightly smaller than the rose Picture, 
which it resembles in many respects, the tight pointed, slow 
opening buds are slightly darker in their charming pink 
coloring. Spicy fragrance, shapely furling petals, gay bloom 
in profusion on a vigorous bushy plant. Each, $1.25. 
Charlotte Armstrong. Our advance orders for this va- 
= riety the past season were half again as much as for 
any other rose (except for our own rose Lassie), and for 
many perfectly good reasons we assure you. Lhe long stream- 
lined buds, a uniform cerise red in color, open slowly to full 
deep pink bloom of superb form and beauty. Stems are sturdy 
and plant free growing. A remarkable rose in every particular. 
Pat. 455. Each, $1.50. 

Roses vary greatly as to height. We can help you lay out 
your beds in an artistic manner. 

AUTUMN. The newest fall shades. 
Christopher Stone. Although this rose is good during all 
seasons you will appreciate it most during very warm 
weather when other red roses are apt to be at their worst. 
While the rose darkens as it ages it does not turn purple. 
Tight velvety crimson scarlet buds open slowly to reveal a 
rose of remarkable size and texture. Old rose fragrance. 
Blooms heavily. Each, $1.00. 
Condesa de Sastago. As with several other excellent roses 
the buds of this variety are not at all exciting. But in the 
open bloom the rich, contrasting colors. golden yellow on 
the reverse side of the petals and red and gold on the upper 
surface, present a fiery combination that is irresistible. Bright 
glossy foliage and good growing habits. Each, $1.00. 
Contrast. While distinctly a novelty we think this highly 
colored rose should find a place in your garden. Pointed 
buds open to high centered flowers. China pink and bronze 
on the upper surface of the petals and white and bronze be- 
neath. Plant is vigorous; foliage large and glossy. Blooms 
profusely. Each, $1.25. 
Countess Vandal. Still maintains its place as the most pop- 
ular of the salmon pink roses and probably will for some 
years to come. Long tapering salmon pink buds lightly 
brushed with gold and copper and lasting open blooms of the 
same color are borne continuously on good cutting stems. 
The upright bush grows readily. Fragrant. Patent 38. 
Each > lpo5s 
Crimson Glory. Has been one of the prime favorites 
among the reds throughout the country ever since its intro- 
duction in 1935. Perfect urn-shaped bloom of deep, velvety 
crimson shaded maroon, are borne continuously on a healthy 
spreading plant. Pat. 105. Each, $1.50. 
Dainty Bess. As the plant is extremely prolific two or 
three bushes of this delightful rose should supply you with a 
surfeit of streamlined satiny pink buds and daintily ruffled 
5-petaled bloom of the same color. The bright crimson 
stamens crowded in the center of each bloom heighten its 
effectiveness. Long stems, upright growth. Most popular 
of all single roses. Each, $1.00.
