ASHES OF ROSES 
A completely distinct and different color never before seen in Mums 
and we are frank to admit we can’t describe it, neither does the color 
plate do it justice. Visitcrs call it rich old rose or rose ash with soft 
salmon-apricot overtones. The point is there is nothing like it in Mums 
nor have we seen this rare iridescent color or anything like it on any 
other flowers in our nursery. We consider Ashes of Roses the choicest 
and most distinct Mum in our collection. It flowers more freely than 
most varieties, blooms cover the plant completely; starts blooming in 
September and keeps on until frost. Flowers are fully double, about 3 
inches across. Height about 21/ feet.
