This is probably the most brilliantly colored bi-colored Rose ever intro- 
duced. The rich contrasting bright color is its outstanding feature. The 
outside of the petals is rich chrome-yellow, sometimes overlaid with 
pink, changing to straw-yellow in the open bloom. This yellow color is 
most evident in the bud. The inside face of the petals is a vivid Orient- 
red, changing to cherry-red with age. These glowing colors contrast so 
vividly, yet harmonize so beautifully that the bloom draws attention and 
admiration at first glance. The buds are long-pointed, opening out into 
unusually well-shaped flowers which possess a mild, pleasant fragrance. 
The plant is exceedingly vigorous, tall and upright, branching moder- 
ately. The stems are long, straight and sturdy, with few thorns.

infermal, artistic flower with a hint of Carnation fragrance.
