Armstrong Bush Roses 
The Best Standard Kinds trom Everywhere 
Described below are those roses which are not pictured or described on other pages of this catalog. They are just as good and just 
as important as other kinds, but space does not allow us to picture in full color every one of the varieties which we grow. Whether 
you order the new introductions for 1951 or the All-America Winners for 1950 described on the opening pages of this catalog, or 
the old-time Radiances described below, you can be sure that you will get a garden tested, superbly grown Armstrong plant. 
Frau Karl Druschki 
This fine old Hybrid Perpetual continues to please rose growers every- 
where because of its superb flowers, vigor, and indifference to condi- 
tions of soil and climate. Old though it is, “Frau Karl” is still one 
of the best of the whites. The long-pointed, snow-white buds open. 
to handsome flowers with plenty of big, substantial, waxy-textured 
petals. Give it lots of room for the vigorous bush, with its handsome 
dark green foliage, will sometimes grow as much as 6 feet in a single 
season. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 
K. A. Victoria 
For nearly 60 years, K. A. Victoria has been considered one of the 
best white roses of all because it blooms so freely and continuously no 
matter what the weather. Beautifully formed buds and magnificent 
high-centered fully double flowers of pure, ivory-white. 
$1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 
McGredy’s Ivory 
This rose is one of the great introductions of the famous house of 
McGredy in Ireland. Actually, the flowers are creamy-ivory white with 
waxen petals turning to a clear snowy-white as the flower opens. In 
cooler weather, there will occasionally be a faint flush of pink at 
the center. The buds are just about as perfect as any you will ever 
find and the graceful high-centered open flowers possess a delicate 
damask perfume. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85¢ each. 
Ondine 
Perfect white rose buds are scarce so you will really appreciate having 
Ondine in your garden. Day after day you will be able to pick some 
of the most beautiful, long-pointed, snowy-white buds that can be 
imagined. The flowers are fairly large (20 to 25 petals) with good 
substance and a sweet fragrance. The plants are upright in habit, 
moderate in growth, producing plenty of snowy-white flowers on long 
strong stems. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Radiance 
Under all conditions of soil or climate, this robust disease-resistant 
variety never fails. Popular for over 40 years because it never fails to 
give you plenty of beautiful silvery-pink fragrant flowers on extremely 
long, strong stems. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85¢ each. 
Red Radiance 
Exactly the same as its sister, Radiance, except that the flowers are 
rich cerise-red. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85¢ each. 
Signora 
You seldom see this variety without breath-taking buds and well- 
formed flowers of intense scarlet-orange, shaded with tangerine and 
cerise. The fine robust plant produces very freely and no matter what 
the weather may be, each bud and flower is perfect—perfect in all 
stages. Plant Pat. No. 201. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Snowbird 
A small to medium sized rose, but one that is a real asset to any 
rose garden. Almost never is it without exquisite, long, flaring white 
buds and snowy, many-petaled, high-centered flowers. Our guess is that 
it will outbloom any other white rose in your garden by at least two 
to one. $1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Texas Centennial 
Often referred to as the “Red President Hoover.” Just like that variety, 
it is an extremely tall, vigorous kind producing a plant 3 to 4 feet 
in height, with heavy strong stems and magnificent large full buds 
and flowers. The color is a bright glowing carmine red, fading to a 
softer rose-red as the flowers age. Give it plenty of room in your 
garden and then be prepared to pick some of the largest, most mag- 
nificent flowers you have ever seen. Plant Pat. No. 162. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.

ytud - They Cost No More! 
With the exception of tree roses, all rose plants sent by mail, express, or freight to any point in the United States or its possessions 
are shipped at our expense. You pay nothing in addition to the catalog price of the roses you order, except the sales tax of 3% if 
you live in California. We reserve the right to choose the method of shipment. 
Planting Time 
We will ship your roses at the most favorable time for planting in 
your area, and the approximate shipping time will be noted on the 
invoice which you will receive acknowledging your order. Generally 
speaking, Eastern planters favor planting fully mature stock in the 
spring when all danger of damaging frost has passed. In Florida and 
the southern part of the Gulf States, most planters prefer setting out 
their roses in November and December. In Arizona, New Mexico and 
other more or less arid regions of the Pacific Southwest, plants should 
be set out in December and January. Along the Pacific Coast, plants 
are usually set out in January, February, and March.
