“Vhowtless White Kose 
Beautiful Creamy White with Blended Pink Edging on 
Each Petal—Canes are Practically Thornless 
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.” |f you want something a bit different in Roses you will 
appreciate this one. 
Nice 2-Yr. Field-Grown and Budded 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75; 6 for $7.00 
Imagine being able to 
walk among the plants in 
and your Rose garden without 
snagging your clothes or 
PLANT scratching your flesh. Imagine 
PAT. 687 cutting an armload of blooms 
and not having a single thorn

“Festival,” the Thornless Rose,

hands, it isn’t ‘Festival.’ ” 
to prick your fingers or arms. Imagine a bush producing bright red, 
fragrant, very double blooms prolifically 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 biooms in 
June and throws occasional repeat blooms throughout tne summer, 
however, like all Climbing Roses, it blooms on the two-year wood. 
Each spring remove all but three of the best canes produced the 
previous year, cut these cones back about one-third, work some good 
fertilizer into the soil about the plants and you wiil be rewarded 
with a magniticent Climber. No thorns to bother you when pruning 
or working around them; no thorns to tear your skin when cutting.
