MAKE ROSES THE 
CARROUSEL 
(P.A.F.) A controversy has raged over Carrousel] 
since it first saw the light of day and even now, 
at the moment of its introduction to you, there is 
still disagreement among rosarians about it. Is it 
the largest floribunda in existence, or is it a hybrid 
tea rose? Its exceedingly free blooming habit prob- 
ably places it rightly among the floribundas but 
we are describing it here among the hybrid teas 
to emphasize its size. Flowers are 3 to 4 inches 
across, 26 to 35 petaled, non-fading dark red, open- 
ing from dark crimson buds. It is wonderful for 
hedge and border use because it is always in 
bloom and the petals drop cleanly from the old 
flowers. Excellent foliage, bushy habit of growth 
and freedom from mildew make it a "must have” 
for your garden. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.25 
NOCTURNE 
& (Pat. 713) It takes a really fine variety to 
come to the top in competition with all the 
red roses of history, but Nocturne has done just 
that. This cardinal-red beauty owes its All- 
America Award partly to its superior plant and 
foliage, but mainly to its gorgeous, dark red, long 
streamlined buds. $1.75 each; 3 for $4.65

NOCTURNE 
DEBONAIR 
(Pat. 677) Like any other rose created by Dr. Walter E. Lammerts, Debonair easily 
leads in its field. This fine rose is outstanding because of the beauty and perfection 
of its buds and the excellence of its vigorous and glossy foliage. The buds are 
tightly rolled, of a rich Mimosa yellow color, and open into many-petaled, high- 
centered full blooms of Primrose yellow, becoming even more delicate as the petals 
unfold. It carries the rich fragrance we have missed in some of the recent roses. 
Particularly outstanding are its leaves. The plants are heavily clothed in foliage, 
being dark green, semi-glossy and strongly mildew resistant. You'll be astonished 
and pleased at the number of flowers you can cut during the course of a season 
from these plants, for they seem never to be out of bloom.
