WINNER OF 1949-1950 
ALL-AMERICA AWARD 
74 New Color for a Kose 
FASHION, an exquisite new floribunda, promises to be one of the most 












popular new roses with its interest and high novelty appeal. The color is 
something new for the rose world and the plant gives a constant mass of 
flowers throughout the entire season. 
The color is luminous coral-pink overlaid with gold which softens to a 
clear coral and then deepens to reddish tones at the finishing stage. The 
buds are an interesting oriental red and are pointed and open slowly into 
© lovely miniature Hybrid Tea form. 
The open blooms are about 31% inches, sometimes larger. The bud opens 
slowly into a wide open flower with graceful wavy petals and a rich display 
of golden yellow stamens. It has an enchanting old rose fragrance. 
The plant is full, bushy and very generous. It reaches a height of 
7215-3 feet. The dark glossy green foliage is richly attractive and 
hangs on well—right down to the ground. 
In England where Fashion was exhibited at the National Rose 
Society’s summer show, it was given the gold medal for the best 
new variety shown. The London Evening Standard said it was 
‘the sensation of the show.”
