Beautiful Creamy White with Blended Pink Edging on 
Each Petal—Canes are Practically Thornless 
From the Land of Evangeline comes this rather remarkable Rose. A single 
specimen plant was found in Louisiana and from it we have grown a number of 
plants to offer our customers. Those grown here in Northern Indiana have 
prover) to be hardy and have bloomed abundantly each summer. Rather spread- 
ing in habit of growth, the canes are free from thorns and grow vigorously. 
Blooms are of medium size, double and fragrant. Color is rather elusive of 
description as the buds have a distinct deep pink color outside but as they open 
the inside of the petals are a creamy white with a blended pink blush on the 
outer edges. The general shading is very similar to that of the Rose ‘’Peace.” 
If you want something a bit different in Roses you will appreciate this one. It 
is an everblooming Hybrid Tea and buds open slowly indoors when cut.

If you want a really new and thrilling experience in Rose 
growing then you will want to grow a few plants of these 
Roses. Imagine being able to walk among the plants in your 
Rose garden without snagging your clothes or scratching 
your flesh. Imagine cutting an armload of blooms and not 
having a single thorn to prick your fingers or arms. Imagine 
a bush producing bright red, fragrant, very double blooms 
prclifically from June until freezing weather. Then you have 
an idea of what to expect from ‘Festival.’ The Climber 
produces an immense crop of brilliant red blooms in June 
and throws occasicnal repeat blooms throughout the summer, 
and however, like all Climbing Roses, it blooms on the two-year 
rege wood. Each spring remove al! but three of the best canes 
eh pli produced the previ- 
ous year, cut these 
canes back about 
one-third, work some 
good fertilizer into 
the soil about the 
plants and you will 
be rewarded with a

them; no thorns to 
tear your skin when 
cutting.
