Outstanding New Roses 
Peace (Page 81) 
Perhaps the most popular Rose today. 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 unusually large, long lasting and constantly fresh looking, 
its effect is always delicate and lovely. The individual petals are long and of great substance, 
gradually opening, ai few at a time, around a high-pointed center; to a great, golden hearted, 
very double, fully open flower. 
Floribunda Rose, Connie Mack (Page 94) 
The flowers are a dark, velvety crimson growing in graceful clusters which have aptly been 
called ‘florists’ spray’’ Roses. The foliage represents a marked advance in Rose breeding, being 
almost immune to attacks of mildew. Many clusters of bloom with long stems and long lasting 
qualities are produced from spring through fall. You will find the Rose ‘’Connie Mack’’ to be 
one of the choice Floribunda Roses. The sturdiness and vigor of this variety make it ai superb 
garden plant as well as one of the best for cutting, not' to mention as a flowering Rose hedge. 
Hybrid Tea Rose, Hedda Hopper (Page 87) 
A rare combination of delicacy and sturdiness is the Rose ‘‘’Hedda Hopper.’’ The delicate pink 
of the flowers in all stages of opening is unusual in itself but together with such a sweet per- 
fume, it is rare indeed. The buds of ‘Hedda Hopper’’ slowly open to a full centered, well formed, 
long lasting flower. Undulations of the petals add a unique feature while the characteristic of 
retaining its form until the petals drop will continually amaze the proud growers of this new Rose.

Fascinating new Floribunda of coral-pink overlaid with gold. Rich Orien- 
tal red buds open into 31-inch blooms of clear coral that later deepen 
to red tones. Bushy 3-ft. plants produce large clusters of delighfully fra- 
grant flowers from early summer till frost. 
Butterscotch (Page 83) 
Introduced three years ago, Butterscotch is making a name for itself and 
continues to delight gardeners everywhere with its warm, glowing color and 
artistic shape. For outstanding performance and beauty, this superb Tea 
Rose cannot be equalled nor can its rare color be matched by any other 
variety. 
Forty-Niner (Page 85) 
The rich contrasting bright colors are its outstanding feature. The out- 
side of the petals is rich chrome-yellow, sometimes overlaid with pink, 
changing to straw-yellow in the open bloom. This yellow color is most 
evident in the bud. The inside face of the petals is a vivid Oriental red, 
changing to cherry-red with age. 
One of the best and latest of Hill’s introductions. Handsomely moulded 
flowers with loosely rolled outward petals are deep capucine-buff with pale 
pink edges. Reports indicate that this fine Hybrid Tea Rose is performing 
splendidly and gaining great favor in all sections of the country. People 
write us “its tops.” 
Sleigh Bells (Page 90) 
The flowers open gradually into blooms of great size, with 40 or more 
petals of heavy substance. A trace of primrose at the base of the petals 
adds life to the flower. Best of all, this white Rose is really fragrant. Sleigh 
Bells is the better white Rose you have been looking for. 
Tallyho (Page 90) 
The inside! of the petals is always a delightful shade of pink, such as 
Tyrian rose, China rose, phlox-pink, or Neyron-rose, and the outside of the 
petals varies from crimson to cardinal-red. The plant will be one of the 
largest in the Rose garden. 
Whe HI : America Rose Selections 
_ Hybrid Tea Rose, Fred Howard (Page 82) 
The great All-America Rose Selections Derby for the race of 1952 is over. Fred Howard, a 
glorious new yellow and one of the most rugged Roses ever introduced to commerce, has been 
awarded the Oscar for a championship performance. 
The blood and breeding that_makes champions is well depicted in the large, vigorous plants 
that attain a height of from 3 to 4 feet. This attribute is also exemplified in the lustrous, 
green foliage and the long flower stems, strong and resilient, bearing lovely, fifty-petaled, yel- 
low Roses, with all buds and flowers heads up. 
During the latter months of the year, there is a very noticeable transition in the color of the 
Fred Howard Rose. The yellow is washed with a lovely overtone of burnished gold and copper. 
At times the high-centered flowers show a suffusion of rosy mauve and when this transition 
_ takes place, the Fred Howard Rose is at its zenith—a perfect harmony of color, showing all the 
' lovely autumn tints of fall.

Hybrid Tea Rose, Helen Traubel (Page 82) 
The color is distinctive—clear pastel tones of pink to apricot even approaching orange at times. It has an 
unusually long, graceful bud, a very large open flower with good form, fine substance and a pleasing fra- 
grance. The plant has proven to be exceedingly vigorous with us. One of those easy to grow kinds which grades 
up without any trouble.
