Orange Triumph. Poly. Low growing to two feet, unusually healthy 
burnished foliage and almost black flower stems. Many of you will tire of read- 
ing the much-mentioned catalogue comment that ‘‘orange’’ is not the word for 
it (except in Germany where it originated) and some fine day, perhaps somebody 
will suggest, for American commerce, it be called Scarlet Triumph, Coral Tri- 
umph, or anything but orange. For this is a remarkably fine Polyantha and 
should not be handicapped by a deceptive title. If you have never grown any 
polys, and are gingerly approaching the possibility of doing so, begin with 
Orange Triumph, and you will be off to a mighty fine start. 
Summer, 1951,—Those who feel there is too little change in the catalog from 
year to year, will be pleased to see a change in this case—upward.

Perle d'Or. Poly. A low-growing, bushy, very vigorous and profuse 
polyantha . . . the tight, perfectly formed little buds are deep golden-apricot, 
shading lighter to the outside. Mrs. Pauline Rodgers of San Antonio, TEXAS 
(emphasis intentional) stopped long enough on her mad travels around the world 
to write her admiration for Perle d’Or, seen in a friend’s garden, and ordered two 
in a hurry! Unfortunately for this writer, they bloomed pink! It won’t happen 
again! 
‘I am wondering if the lady from Texas (she means you, Mrs. Rodgers) might not 
have the right rose after all. Mine have bloomed quite pink but a very different pink from 
Cectle Brunner,—really a luscious peach and quite an attention-getter.’ —Viola Gran- 
staff, San Diego, California. Will compromise on “‘peach’’ if you insist, but 
anyone expecting ‘‘butter-yellow,”’ better turn back to Goldilocks or forward 
to Yellow Pinocchio. Perle d’Or isn’t. 3 fors3.35 each 1.25 
Pink Bountiful. Floribunda. Patent 601. ARS 75%. Another soft pink 
Floribunda has stood the test of time and emerges with an ARS 5 year National 
Rating of 75%. Rather upright, sturdy grower to 3-4 ft., with large dark foliage. 
The flower is double, hybrid tea form, on good cutting stems, and really ‘‘boun- 
tiful.’’ The dainty pink is flushed suntan, delicate and altogether charming. 
Says Everett A. Piester, Hartford, writing on rose hedges in September *’Pop- 
ular Gardening,’’—‘* A dawn-like glow over pink, perfect buds, lovely foliage and bushy 
plants up to 3 feet, may be had by using Pink Bountiful.” 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
Pink Rosette. Floribunda. Patent 902. We omit our rather sportive com- 
ments to give this lovely Floribunda the praise it deserves. It is well said by 
Wayside Gardens that the ‘‘style and charm of the past’’ has been retained—also 
the delicate China-rose shadings combined with peach tones in the cupped, very 
double blooms. Completely disease resistant,—husky, very hardy, medium 
growing, and blooming in enormous clusters. We are proud of our plants and 
recommend them enthusiastically. ‘I’m no connoisseur, but I don’t know of another 
floribunda with so many petals, so precisely placed,—but that's only half its charm,—the 
other half is its color,—with me, bright rosey buds, opening to luscious peach-pink.— 
Mrs. F. I. Merz, Silver City, New Mexico. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50
