Roses by Tuttle Bras. 
Just 30 years ago we grew our first roses, commercially. Since that time great progress 
has been made in hybridizing new roses for your gardens. Of the varieties we grew 30 years 
ago just 12 have stood the test of time. They are: Cecile Brunner, Etoile de Hollande, Frau 
Karl Druschki, Hadley, Irish Fireflame, Kaiserin, Los Angeles, Lulu, Mme. Jules Bouche, 
Radiance, Red Radiance, Rose Marie. You know you can not go wrong in planting these 
varieties. Of the many hundreds of varieties propagated since 1920 probably not more than 
a couple of hundred have been really tops. The very best of these you will find described in 
the pages that follow.

Beat Rede4, Old and Neu 
How to Plant.”

Applause. Winner of the coveted Baga- 
telle Award in Paris. We believe this to be 
the best pink rose produced since Char- 
lotte Armstrong. Forty big full petals, 
charmingly arranged, make up shapely 
buds and fragrant flowers that are of the 
best cutting quality. The buds are a deep 
rich pink that, as they open, are some- 
what lighter. Vigorous and compact 
growth; mildew resistant foliage. Pat.

dark leaves and sturdy stems. Each, $1.00.

AARS weather this unique blending of ruddy 
orange and saffron yellow is a riot of unusual 
color. Big crisp petals, long buds, recurrent

Qa Charlotte Armstrong. If there is a 
AARS ‘’best’’ pink Rose this undoubtedly is 
it. On a big branching bush exquisite stream- 
lined buds and full deep pink blooms of per- 
fect form are borne from April through No- 
vember in consistent profusion. Long stems

Christopher Stone. Most everyone is en- 
thusiastic over this outstanding crimson- 
scarlet rose. The huge tight petals form a 
lovely bud that opens slowly into a perfect 
double rose. The flowers darken with age but 
do not “‘purple’’. An excellent rose for warm 
climates as it has lots of heavy leathery fo- 
liage. Delightful spicy fragrance. Each, 
$1.00. 
Condesa de Sastago. This brilliant intro- 
duction from Spain is as colorful as a Spanish 
fiesta. Plump, ovoid buds of golden yellow 
edged with red open to full garish bloom of 
gold heavily marked with red. Strong stems, 
polished mildew resistant foliage. Each, 
$1.00. 
Contrast. While distinctly a novelty we 
think this highly colored rose should find a 
place in your garden. Pointed buds open to 
high centered flowers. China pink and bronze 
on the upper surface of the petals and white 
and bronze beneath. Plant is vigorous; foli- 
age large and glossy. Blooms profusely.

Countess Vandal. No other salmon pink 
rose begins to compare with this variety. 
Long tapering buds, lightly brushed with 
copper, unfold slowly into enormous full 
satiny bloom of clear even salmon pink. Rich 
fragrance. Sturdy dark stems and foliage. 
Pats So meacha Iesoe 
Dainty Bess. A charming single rose of 
satiny pink with daintily ruffled petals and 
bright crimson stamens. You should never 
lack for long slender buds to cut if you plant 
this variety as it blooms prolifically. Growth 
strong and erect. Each, $1.00.

Debonair. Especially lovely and well-nigh 
perfect in bud and half open bloom is this 
primrose yellow rose with the exquisite fra- 
grance of the old Marechal Niel. The buds 
are urn-shaped to ovoid in form; the flower, 
shapely and of medium size, becomes paler 
as it opens wide. The vigorous upright plant 
is well covered with broad, dark green, mil- 
dew resistant foliage. Pat. 677. Each, $1.50. 
Duquesa de Penaranda. Our regard for 
this outstanding rose grows with each passing 
season. Either in bud or open flower it is al- 
most perfection. Long pointed buds of apri- 
cot, tempered with yellow and pink, open 
into high-centered flowers of astonishing 
form and substance. Brilliant glossy mildew 
proof foliage. Vigorous. Each, $1.25. 
Eclipse. In the bud no other yellow rose 
can approach this variety. The long, slender, 
streamlined buds are as graceful and charm- 
ing as a ‘teen age girl. And these perfect buds 
are borne, intermittently, all season. Vigor- 
ous growth and good stems. Pat. 172. Each, 
sell 335). 
Etoile de WHollande. This variety is as 
nearly mildew proof as any rose we grow and 
because of its dense leathery foliage it is a 
most satisfactory rose even in the hottest 
weather. Long tapering buds of deep red 
open to full, high centered roses of glowing 
crimson. Richly fragrant. Long stems and 
good keeping qualities. Each, $1.00. 
Fandango. Not only is this one of the 
first roses to show color in spring but it 
also blooms practically all of the time until 
winter. Deep scarlet ovoid buds upon 
opening display about 20 big crisp ruffled 
petals of bright cerise red. Forms a big, 
vigorous, glossy foliaged bush. Mild fra- 
grance. Pat. applied for. Each, $2.00.
