This Rose we have named ‘‘Mme. Chiang Kai-shek,” in honor of the 
First Lady of China. Perfectly chiseled petals clasped in long, spiral 
buds unfurl slowly, culminating in limpid, light clear canary-yellow 
flowers of perfect proportions. The rich Rose perfume of this premier 
yellow Rose is a fragrance retrieved from the past, recalling the fra- 
grance that hung over China Tea Roses in old and forgotten gardens 
of long, long ago. The perfect form, delightful perfume, sheer elegance = 
and vigorous growth, combined with those indefinable qualities that < 
breeding alone can convey, truly depict the patrician in ‘Mme. Kai- 
shek,’’ the loveliest of all light yellow Rose. We offer fine 2-year-old 
plants.

(Award Ali-America Selections, 1945.) The first place winner of the 
All-America Rose Competition for 1945. A gorgeous, fragrant, red 
Rose that takes its place with the finest red Roses of the world. The

plays new beauties of form as the petals unfold and eventually becomes 
a large full bloom, with excellent’ lasting qualities. Mirandy has a 
wonderful, penetrating, damask fragrance which many will say is the 
finest Rose fragrance they have ever inhaled. The plant is strong, free 
branching, with heavy stout stems, and keeps producing its glorious 
flowers freely all season against a background of dark green, heavy 
textured foliage.
