BAGATELLE WINNER 
\ r~ 
APPLAUSE 
Here is the rose that achieved fame by winning the first post-war Gold Medal at the 
Bagatelle Gardens in Paris, France. The Armstrong Nurseries was deeply honored in 
having one of its seedlings win this most famous of all international rose competitions. 
The many-petaled blooms of Applause are a dazzling light red in the ovoid bud, be- 
coming a lighter shade in the full open flower. In all stages the color is rich and 
pleasing. The buds and flowers are exceedingly large in the spring becoming smaller 
in the late summer (40 petals). The flowers of Applause are pleasantly fragrant so 
that the perfume is readily apparent as you stand near the bushes. The vigorous plant 
will be a little above medium height in the garden, will have twice as many branches 
as most other kinds and twice as many flowers. You'll like its compact bushy habit. 
The large leathery leaves are quite resistant to mildew. Originated in the Armstrong 
Research Dept. by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 829. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.70 each.
