DETROITER (Right) 
Eighty years ago, when Jackson & Perkins grew their first Rose, RED was © 
the most popular color with Rose lovers. Since that time we emt created J. # Pe 
and introduced literally hundreds of Roses, of all colors. . . reds, yellows, mn 
whites, pinks . . . and our Plant Research Department has even developed 
many entirely new Colors—buft-orange, salmon, lavender, grey. Yet throughout Detroiter 
these many years, RED always remained the most popular color. And today, 
Red Roses are stil] the favorites! And that’s easy to understand, especially 
when you see a brilliant red, red Rose like our brand-new DETROITER. 
BRILLIANT COLOR! EXQUISITE FORM! 
PLEASING FRAGRANCE! 
This magnificent new Hybrid Tea is the second in our series of 
“Great Roses named in honor of Great American Cities.’’ Our be- 
loved New Yorker was the first, and Detroiter is surely destined to 
become every bit as popular . . . for it has all the beauty, fragrance 
and hardiness that gardeners look for in a Rose. 
Detroiter begins adding beauty to your garden even before the buds 
appear, as the extra- large, glossy green foliage begins clothing the 
plant in April and early May. Then come the buds—tich carmine- 
red with soft velvety tones. Slowly, in late May and early June, 
they start opening, one by one. . _ revealing huge, high- centered, 
deep red blooms 51% in. across with 20 to 25 large, aep petals. 
There's a sweet pleasing fragrance to go along with the bril- 
liant color, too. And these exquisite blooms are borne on long 
stems . . . so you can cut them for floral arrangements. 
Yes, from beginning to end, Detroiter brings glow- 
ing color to your garden aad im your home! = 
The extra large foliage and the long basal shoots give an impres- 
sion of mass which is pleasing and effective. Blooms from June to 
frost! Indeed, a truly exceptional Red Rose! (Propagation Rights
