We have never seen a rose more brilliant than this sparkling cardinal 
red, nor have we seen one which holds color as it does—even when 
the sun is burning hot and most red varieties fade to an unattractive 
hue. Don’t expect a great big plant and don’t look for a lot of fragrance. 
But when the plump buds open to spectacular, big, broad flowers with 
wavy petals arranged in perfect symmetry, and with every flower 
glowing like a burning ember, you are certain to exclaim “Bravo!” 
Originated at the Armstrong Nurseries by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. 
No. 983. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.

AA\RS petals are a vivid Orient red, while outside, they are chrome to straw 
The colors are so bright and so startling in their contrast that it is 
hard to believe they could be present in the same flower. Inside, the 
yellow, both colors becoming paler in some weathers. The plant is 
easy to grow, vigorous and tall and it produces many delightfully formed buds 
and spectacular flowers on long, sturdy stems. All-America Winner for 1949, 
it’s an H. C. Swim origination. Plant Pat. No. 792. 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.

Every change in the weather will bring delightful new combinations 
of pink, carmine, and even orange. The buds are perfect as are the open 
AAX\RS flowers with their delicately frilled petals and pronounced fragrance. 
The new growth is an attractive mahogany-red color, changing to dark 
glossy green. Although not as resistant to mildew as some varieties, it is a big, 
vigorous, upright plant which blooms freely everywhere. A 1948 AARS Winner.
