The Perfect Rose Garden 
Perhaps you, like many of our friends, prefer to have us suggest a well-balanced 
colorful group of rose varieties sure to succeed in your garden. We are doing 
exactly that with our Big 10. Each of the varieties is outstanding in its color 
and every bush is a typical Armstrong Rose plant, husky and heavy-rooted. 
Included in the group are six outstanding All-America Winners. 
If you want the best in roses, just order the “Big 10,” or several of them for 
larger gardens. If you have room for only five plants, you cannot make a better 
choice than the 5 Armstrong-originated varieties pictured on this page.
