Rosette Delizy. Tea. (1922.) When the rose garden is “quiet,” this lively 
and luxuriant tea rose will be in full-bloom—it literally never stops. Flowers are 
medium size, pert and well formed; basic color is cadmium-yellow, outer petals dark 
carmine, in very pleasing contrast. Enthusiastically recommended. 2.00 
Sanguinaire. H. Rugosa (1933.) Stalwart, erect shrub to 6 feet, with 
glossy foliage. Produces recurrently, a profuse crop of brilliant, oxblood-red, semi- 
double blooms, with pronounced golden stamens . . . admirable for hedge and orna- 
mental planting. yp) 
Sarah Van Fleet. H. Rugosa (1926.) “Remarkable hybrid, flowering 
from June to October; erect bushy growth, glossy leaves. Long buds opening to semi- 
double flowers of clear light pink... very fragrant... of unusual quality,” says T. 
Hilling Co., England. And we note it is the only rose in their fine catalog honored 
with the term “unusual quality.” Margaret Snyder who presides at the late Dr. Mc- 
Farland’s beautiful garden, Breeze Hill, enthuses and says, “the color is wild pink 
and intensely fragrant.” This writer placed it with the six most charming old varieties 
seen on this spring's rose pilgrimage. Now, after all these distinguished endorsements, 
find we have only a handful, until 1951. What a commercial waste of enthusiasm here!

Scorcher. Climbing H. Tea. (1922.) | Our Garden Notes, over the 
years on this beautiful Allister Clark climber, are an annual eulogy, for its rare and 
indescribable shade of red, plus the graceful form of the large semi-double flower, 
place it with our very best. Has all that anyone could ask in a climber—vigor, 
profuse and repeating bloom, and’an out-shining beauty. 1.50 
Seven Sisters. | (R. Multiflora platyphylla.) Introduced 1817. Have had 
so many inquiries for this variety we decided to grow it in self-defense. Reaches 
climbing proportions in moderate climates . . . bears large trusses of 142’’ double 
flowers, in shades ranging near white through the lilac, rose and dark carmine tones. 
From this unique habit, it gets its name, “seven colors” all blooming at the same time. 
And all for the price of one rose too! 1.75 
Shot Silk. H. Tea. (1924.) Says the National Rose Society — “Color 
cerise, shaded orange-salmon. Petals 27; moderately vigorous; very fragrant, foliage 
almost free of mildew. A beautiful bedding rose which should be planted closely.” 
Mr. Lester always said of it, if he were limited to growing but one bush rose it would 
be Shot Silk, because its habits and performance are so excellent. And writing for 
the Pacific Rose Society he included it in his three favorite roses, out of 
the hundreds with which he had been so long familiar. This writer, yielding to the 
Lester enthusiasm some years ago, planted a Shot Silk Climber in his garden at Red- 
lands, California, where the hot summers are not too kind to roses. Nothing in that 
garden of 225 varieties, exceeded Shot Silk in all those qualities which combine to 
make a rose good; certainly none were more exquisitely beautiful. 
Both bush and climbers available. 1.50
