Climbing Roses 
New for 1953 
Climbing Forty-niner 
It takes only a few blooms of Forty-niner to create a lot of excitement, 
so just imagine what a big climbing plant loaded with these most brilliant 
of all bi-colored roses will do for your garden. Forty-niner was an All- 
America Winner for 1949 and the big well-shaped buds and flowers with 
their vivid color so startling in contrast have been admired from coast 
to coast. The face of the petals is a vivid crimson, while the reverse side 
is chrome to straw-yellow. Now, for the first time in 1953 you can get 
this brilliant “stopper” in a big vigorous climber. Plant Pat. No. 1094. 
$2.75 each; 3 or more, $2.40 each. 
High Noon 4 Bright Yellow Everblooming Climber 
Its vivid intense shade of clear shining yellow is equaled only 
by Buccaneer, the new Armstrong Hybrid Tea introduction for 
1953. Although not a rampant climber, the plant grows com- 
pactly to 8 or 10 feet and is completely clothed with shining 
green foliage. Unlike most climbers, High Noon does not quit after the 
spring burst of bloom, but continues to produce a wealth of well-shaped 
buds and brilliant unfading flowers on almost thornless stems throughout 
the rest of the season. It won a Regional 
All-America Award for the Pacific Coast 
and Southern States for 1948. Although it 
is not recommended as hardy for areas of 
sub-zero temperatures, High Noon will 
easily make 5 or 6 feet of growth in a 
single season and flower freely while doing 
it. Because of its brilliant color, it makes a 
very welcome addition in any garden, West- 
ern or Eastern. Plant Pat. No. 704. 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.
