The perfectly formed, high-centered blooms are scarlet with rose-red undertones 
and each petal is overlaid with a rich sheen of velvet. Plants bloom heavily in June 
on luxurious, vigorous, 3-foot plants with a breath-taking succession of flowers 
from then until cold weather 
Nocturne’ (U. S. Plant Patent No. 713) ach $1.50, Three $3.75, Doz. $15.00 
All-America Selection for 1946. This new red Rose has one of the longest, most 
perfect, streamlined buds displayed by any Rose in its color.The color is bright 
cardinal-red with dark, deep intriguing shadings of chrysanthemum-crimson. The 
large petals have good substance, are richly textured, and there are plenty of 
them so that the flowers last a long time. In hot weather the color becomes some- 
what lighter. The blooms of NOCTURNE are pleasantly fragrant although not ap- 
prooching Mirandy in this respect. The stems are long, the foliage large, abundant, 
and semi-glossy. The plant displays plenty of vigor and quickly grows into a big 
sturdy bush in the garden. Reports from the official All-America test gardens 
throughout the country were uniformly good, and other test plantings have aroused 
much enthusiasm.

This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the dawnlike range of colors 
through which it passes, from opening yellow buds, each petal edged with pink 
that seems to deepen as the flower slowly opens. The shades of color vary, too, 
from flower to flower and through the changing seasons. Though the bloom is un- 
usually large, long lasting and constantly fresh looking, its effect is always deli- 
cate and lovely. The individual petals are long and of great substance, gradually 
opening, a few at a time, around a high-pointed center, to a great, golden hearted, 
very double, fully open flower. The plant is as superior as the bloom, and in the 
same large-scale way. The flowers are borne singly on heavy stems so: strong and 
straight. It needs no disbudding to produce exhibition blooms which hold their form 
and freshness longer than other Hybrid Teas. The flowers last a long time and they 
are produced all season in endless succession, through various stages of opening 
and changing colors: canary-yellow, pa'e gold, cream, ivory and alabaster; edged 
cerise, rose or apple-blossom-pink. M. Meilland, the hybridizer, has given the world 
many beautiful Roses, yet of this he says, ‘This is a rare discovery and only takes 
place once in the career of an originator.”
