AARS All-America Selection For 1948 
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- 
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 
; 4 leaves. Along with this changeable coloring goes a perfect, slender bud form and frilled, 
j 4 delicately veined petals. A perfect Rose for the bud vase.
