The All-Time All-America Winner 
Charletle Armstrong 
(Gr Since its introduction in 1941, when it won the sole All-America Award, Charlotte Armstrong 


has become the favorite rose in thousands of rose gardens throughout the country. In our 
§ Opinion it remains the top All-America Winner out of all the fine varieties given this honor. 
Z Certainly it is the finest rose that we grow here at the Armstrong Nurseries. If you are 
planting it for the first time, you will marvel (as we still do) at the beauty of the lovely, long, car- 
mine-red buds, with their perfect streamlined form, and at the magnificent open blooms of rich 
cerise. The open flower is usually 3 or 4 inches in diameter, with about 30 petals, high-centered, 
remaining a beautiful rich color until the last petal drops. It has only slight fragrance. No printer’s 
inks can illustrate the richness of its color—you have to see it to appreciate it. 
How It Does Grow! 
A plant of Charlotte Armstrong will become one of the largest in the rose garden for it is ex- 
tremely'vigorous, semi-spreading to upright, usually producing its flowers singly and always on 
long stems. The foliage is leathery, semi-glossy, deep green, and highly resistant to mildew. 
The plant keeps producing its amazing succession of long-stemmed beauties throughout the 
entire season. On Charlotte Armstrong, every bud is perfect.
