Meet the 1953 All-American Roses 
Two Spectacular Roses, Chrysler Imperial and Ma Perkins, have won the 
ccveted All-America Rose Awards for 1953 — the highest honor that can be 
bestowed on a rose. 
CHRYSLER IMPERIAL. (Patent applied for). 
Like its Imperial namesake, the new rose is unique in quality — 
it is America’s first truly red rose. Its parents, Mirandy and Char- 
lotte Armstrong, are both previous All-America winners. This 
erimson-red everblooming hybrid tea rose has an abundance of 
4%)" to 5” flowers. Dark green, leathery foliage. Very high cen- 
tered rose, with long picking stems. Delightful fragrance. THE 
Most VIBRANT RED ROSE of All Time! 
PRICE: $3.00 each; 3 for $8.25 Net, no further discount. 
MA PERKINS. (Patent applied for). 
A new prize winning floribunda, which is a descendant of Red Radiance and 
Fashion, two of the hardiest of garden roses. Its Ophelia-shaped buds open a 
translucent light Fashion color with shades of red in the outer petals. A suffusion 
of yellow is present in all early stages of bloom. Color is sparkling even in the 
mature soft shell-pink flowers. The plant is strong yet compact, with flowers 
appearing both in clusters and singly throughout the season. Disease resistant, 
adaptable to many locations such as foundation plantings, shrub borders. 
PRICE: $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
PEACE. 
This was the All-America Rose Selection for 1946, and in our opinion, the 
most beautiful Rose ever offered. It is the highest scoring Rose throughout 
the entire history of All-American Rose trials. The shades and color of Peace 
vary amazingly with climate, soil and season. The buds are golden yellow, 
each petal edged with pink: its an enchanting thing to watch the buds open 
Chrysler : and the gold change to ivory or alabaster white, while the pink blush spreads and deepens 
Imperial along the edge of every petal. The blooms are unusually large, very double, long-lasting and 
constantly fresh looking, with a haunting fragrance. Sturdy bushes with excellent disease- 
resistant foliage: very vigorous grower, strong, stiff flower stems. Price: $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.00 net, no further discount.
