Me = =» Charlotte Armstrong 
If you are planting it for the first time, you will marvel (as we still do) at 
the beauty of the lovely, long, carmine-red buds, with their perfect stream- 
lined form, and at the magnificent open blooms of rich cerise. The open 
flower is usually 3 or 4 inches in diameter, with about 30 petals, high- 
centered, remaining a beautiful rich color until the last petal drops. It has 
only slight fragrance. No printer’s inks can illustrate the richness of its color 
you have to see it to appreciate it. 
A plant of Charlotte Armstrong will become one of the largest in the Rose 
garden for it is extremely vigorous, semi-spreading to upright, usually pro- 
ducing its flowers singly and always on long stems. The foliage is leathery, 
semi-glossy, deep green, and highly resistant to mildew. The plant keeps 
producing its amazing succession of long-stemmed beauties throughout the 
entire season. On Charlotte Armstrong every bud is perfect, and it produces 
hundreds of them during the season.
