A New Star for 1953 Gardens 
It is always a great day for us when we can say, “Here is the new Armstrong 
Rose of the Year!” Buccaneer, a new Armstrong Rose for 1953, brings to 
rose growers everywhere a new conception of how bright and colorfast a 
yellow rose can be. It is a variety which we selected from thousands of 
seedlings and from a cross actually made ten years ago. But it takes a long 
time to grow the seed, bring the seedlings into bloom, observe them and 
test them until there are no doubts as to their worth. With all of these 
Operations under the supervision of one of America’s best known and most 
successful rose breeders, Mr. H. C. Swim, it is easy to understand why 
almost every rose garden in the country now has Armstrong rose varieties 
as its Outstanding performers. 
The BRIGHTEST 
: Yellow Rose Yet! 
Buccaneer 
Brilliant, intense, and lasting are puny adjectives when it comes 
to describing the magnificent clear color of this new rose for 1953. 
It is the clearest, brightest, and “‘lastingest’’ yellow you have ever 
seen in a rose. The buds are particularly lovely, long, slender, and 
tapering, and they show no color other than the clear dazzling 
yellow. The opening flowers are cup-shaped (usually about 30 
petals), have a moderate tea fragrance, and the brilliant color 
continues in nearly all weathers. One of the most extraordinary 
things about Buccaneer is the extreme vigor of the tall slender 
plant. The strong free-branching canes will usually reach 5 or 6 
feet in the second season in milder climates. Though large, the 
plant is well foliaged and from early spring until late fall it will 
seldom be without plenty of beautiful yellow buds and flowers held 
proudly erect on some of the longest and straightest stems you can 
imagine. 
Because of its vigor and its tendency to grow tall, Buccaneer should 
be planted in the background of your rose garden or against a 
fence or wall. Regardless of where you plant it, the brilliant flashing 
color will shine out like a beacon. Originated at the Armstrong 
Nurseries by Mr. H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 1119. 
$2.75 each; 3 or more, $2.40 each.
