(@) TAFFETA. Plant Pat. No. 716 
AARS All-America Selection for 1948 
a This variety is outstanding for its ability to produce many long-stemmed, perfectly 
formed, fragrant buds in the rich pink and salmon tones that almost everyone likes. It 
is difficult to name any one color typical of this variety. At times it may be described 
as rose-pink, salmon, and apricot, but the predominant color is usually a rich carmine- 
‘Bin di rose in the bud, changing to begonia-rose in the open flower. Vigorous and upright, 
} better than average size, the plant is moderately bushy, with large, glossy, dark green 
leaves. Along with this changeable coloring goes a perfect, slender bud form and frilled, 
delicately veined petals. A perfect Rose for the bud vase.

Prepare Rose beds in advance. Allot a specific space for each 
plant. Make sure the hole is large enough to allow the roots to spread 
naturally Crown or bud union should be level with the ground. 
Hill the soil up about 8 inches after planting, to protect the plants ee 
from drying winds. This soil should be removed when growth is ASB 
under way.
