Many would consider their rose planting incomplete without ‘this wonderful, 
multicolored rose, combining shades of cerise, pink, flame, scarlet, and yellow. 
The long buds are beautifully formed, and open slowly into a gigantic bloom 
possessing a most delicious fragrance. It is a magnificent grower, four feet in one 
season being quite ordinary, and it is not a question of how Jong you want the 
stems to be, it is only how long you wish to cut them. Give it plenty of room, 
it will use it. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each.

Radiance 
Plenty of long-stemmed, silvery-pink, fragrant flowers under all conditions of 
soil and climate. This robust, disease-resistant variety never fails. A favorite in 
American gardens for nearly 40 years. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 
Red Radiance 
Exactly the same as its sister, Radiance, except that the flowers are rich cerise-red. 
$1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 
Rose of Freedom 
Here is a new rose which is going to make a lot of people happy. It has one 
of the most beautiful rose plants that can be grown—tall, strong and luxuriantly 
covered with big, handsome, broad leaves, so thickly clustered that you can hardly 
see the canes. It’s a great bloomer. The big ovoid buds are a rich cardinal red, 
opening into a large, rather flat, fully double bloom (60 petals) of rose red. One 
of the most outstanding features of the rose is its heavy penetrating fragrance. 
Only three or four others in our entire list can equal it in this respect. The color 
is a little hard in some weathers as the flower ages. Plant Pat. No. 791. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.

Rubaiyat 
This rosy-cheeked Irish beauty was the only All-America Rose Winner for 
(@Qr 1947. In most weathers the long shapely bud is a scintillating rose-red or 
AAXRS Crimson, usually becoming paler in the open bloom. Both buds and 
= flowers are extra large and carry a pronounced and delightful damask- 
rose fragrance. You will not have to worry about getting vigorous growth on a 
plant of Rubaiyat, for the tall, robust plant keeps shooting out long, upright 
stems throughout the entire growing season, each one lined with luxuriant dark 
green foliage. As you might expect in an Irish rose, the variety displays its best 
color and most perfect form in cool climates, but everywhere it will keep up a 
never-ending succession of long-stemmed blooms from early spring to late fall. 
Plant Pats Now 758: $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.
