Such a vivid color could not long go unnoticed in any garden. The glowing brilliant 
crimson-scarlet flowers, with deeper shadings, never have a trace of blue and do not 
fade in the hottest sun. Not all of the buds are perfect in form, but they have a long- 
lasting substance and a delightfully spicy fragrance. Fully blown, this rose is as beautiful 
as any rose you will ever find. $1.35 each; 3 or more, $1.20 each.

She continually produces lovely long tapered buds of salmon-pink shaded with copper

and flowers are usually perfect no matter what the weather, and the plant thrives and 
blooms consistently wherever roses are grown. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.30 each. 
Crimson Glory 
For the Southwest, we think there are several better red kinds, but many growers in the 
East and Midwest still rate this at the top among reds. The beautiful flaring urn-shaped 
buds open into magnificent flowers of velvety crimson with black and maroon shadings. 
The velvety petals seem to reflect light like a glowing ember, and the fragrance is rich 
and full-bodied. The plant is vigorous, low, and spreading, and flowers freely. Plant 
Pat. No. 105. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each.
