ROGER LAMBELIN—'‘‘No Orner Rose Like It’’ 
Reve D'Or. Noisette. (1869.) Strong growing, climbing type, with supe- 
rior foliage, extending to the base of the plant. Flowers are double, well formed, 
described by Mrs. Keays, as “‘soft yellow, outside a pale pink, so the general color is of 
a buffy pink shade, with yellow shanks .. . This is an excellent rose, healthy, happy, 
free of bloom.’’ We like everything about this famous old Noisette, except the 
tenacity with which it holds the faded blooms to the sometimes bitter end.

Roger Lambelin. H. Perpetual. (1890.) Givena spot it likes in the sun, 
Roger Lambelin is hale and hearty, and blooms generously all season. So far as 
we know, there is no other rose like it. Color is a rich deep red, shaded magenta, 
and each petal 1s edged with white, and fringed like a double petunia; exquisitely 
perfumed. 
Enthusiasm for this unique rose grows apace. We can quote only a few of the 
many pleased comments—''When I first saw the flower it reminded me of an ornamental 
star on a Christmas tree—the plant was lovely—the perfume delicate and charming.’ — 
Walter Bauer, Bremen, Ind. 
“My mother used to say Roger Lambelin looked like me with my petticoat showing.’ — 
Miss Mary Passiglia, Brooklyn. 
“Roger Lambelin! Twenty odd blooms provided Mothers’ Day corsages that created a 
sensation!’’—Mrs. A. B. Walters, California. 
We are especially pleased with the quality of our plants for 1952 delivery, 
and their heavy bloom this spring in the growing fields.

R. Andersonit. ‘‘Very distinct and beautiful and makes a fine bush,” says 
Wm. Paul. Field notes, 1951,—"'Excellent! Completely healthy foliage,—blooms in 
clusters of 2 inch, warm deep-pink flowers, with brilliant yellow stamens. Exceptionally 
charming specie,—the kind I like.” 2.00
