READ THIS—Each year many Rose buyers, when they come in to make 
their selection in May, find that we are sold out of some of their favorites. 
To avoid disappointment, send us your order with a 50% remittance NOW. 
We'll reserve your Roses, all 2-year-old, No. 1 grade, field-grown specially 
for us by the leading quality rose grower of the northwest. Each, grown on 
outdoors from an early start, will be thoroughly rooted in a 7 x 9-inch pot, 
fully alive, in leaf and ready to give full bloom from June on. All are the 
finest quality and best varieties, growing vigorously when you get them. 
The American Rose Society gives every Rose a rating. We show this rating after each: 
9 up = the finest, 8 up = excellent, 7 up = very good, 6 up = only fair 
FORBES HYBRID TEA ROSES IN POTS 
$2.75 ea.; 3 for $7.95; $30.60 doz. 
Both the attractive buds and the large, high-centered, full 
flowers of midnight crimson are very, very dark red with 
a velvety blackish sheen, and the color does not turn blue. 
They have a marvelous fragrance. The husky plants are 
tall but not too symmetrical and have healthy, dark green, 
leathery foliage. They bear the flowers freely on long 
stems. 30 to 40 petals. 
$2.35 ea.; 3 for $6.75; $25.80 doz. 
All-America Rose Selection, 1941. The long, pointed, 
blood-red bud opens into a large, high-centered, full flower, 
cerise in hot weather and spectrum-red in cool weather, 
and 3 to 4 inches across. The plants are vigorous and very 
free flowering. The foliage is large, leathery, semi-glossy, 
deep green and highly resistant to mildew. 30 petals. 9.3 
$2.75 ea.; 3 for $7.95; $30.60 doz. 
This unusually beautiful, high-centered Rose is rich buff- 
apricot, has a fine tea fragrance, opens very slowly and 
lasts well. The face of the petal is always lighter than 
the reverse side. It is good looking both as an open flower 
and in the daintily graceful, ruffled bud. The plants are 
very vigorous, with lots of luxuriant, olive-green foliage 
and long, straight stems. 45-60 petals. 
$1.95 ea.; 3 for $5.55; $21 doz. 
A large, semi-double, vivid scarlet flower overlaid with 
velvety crimson, of delightful Damask fragrance. In fall 
the crimson deepens with black shadings. The plants are 
of vigorous, upright growth with bright green foliage, free 
flowering and apparently not affected by heat, as they 
bloom almost continuously. 35 petals. 8.8 
$3.25 ea.; 3 for $9.45; $36.60 doz. 
All-America Rose Selection, 1953. A brand-new, rich 
crimson Rose that presents a series of changing tones as 
it opens. The color deepens in the shadows and seems 
brighter in full light. Uhe inner folds are garnet. The 
large blooms are 41% to 5 inches in diameter, with broad 
petals arranged in high-centered form. Buds are usually 
velvety and gracefully tapered. This is an offspring of the 
well-known Charlotte Armstrong Rose and has many of 
its parent’s excellent qualities. Flowers are carried single 
on strong stems of moderate length. The plant is compact 
in growth. 40-50 petals.

All are strongly rooted, 2-year-old, No. 1 grade, field-grown plants established in 7 x 9-inch pots. 
$2.15 ea.; 3 for $6.15; $23.40 doz. 
The large, long-pointed buds open to beautifully formed, 
semi-double, cupped flowers of an intense deep vivid crim- 
son shaded oxblood-red and mellowed by a soft velvety 
nap. The wonderfully fragrant blooms are recurrently 
borne on very vigorous, compact bushes with healthy, 
profuse, leathery foliage. 30 petals. 9.5 
$1.95 ea.; 3 for $5.55; $21 doz. 
Without a rival, an outstanding, charming single Rose of 
perfect form. The slightly fragrant, broad petals of deli- 
cate soft rose-pink form a beautiful contrast with the 
conspicuous crimson stamens. The strong, heavily foliaged 
plants are of excellent blooming habit. 5 petals. 8.7 
$2.15 ea.; 3 for $6.15; $23.40 doz. 
With streamlined, tapering buds, often 2 inches long, the 
semi-double, golden yellow flowers are very freely pro- 
duced. The plants are vigorous and upright in growth with 
long, erect stems fine for cutting. They bloom consist- 
ently through the season. 25 petals. 8.5 
$1.95 ea.; 3 for $5.55; $21 doz. 
Still one of the best reds. The large-petaled, huge, double, 
cupped flowers are bright red, do not fade and have an 
exquisite old-Rose fragrance. They are particularly 
superb when in the half-open stage. The 214-foot, open, 
branching plants have upright stems, large, soft green 
foliage and bear intermittently all season. 45 petals. 8.9 
$2.50 ea.; 3 for $7.20; $27.60 doz. 
Dozens of unusually long tapering, graceful buds in a 
delightful pale dawn-pink. The pale pink flowers, with 
their mild pleasing tea fragrance and gracefully pointed 
petals, open very slowly. The vigorous, fairly upright 
plants, free branching and free blooming, carry each flower 
singly on a long slender stem. 25 petals. 8.0 
$2.75 ea.; 3 for $7.95; $30.60 doz. 
All-America Rose Selection, 1952. The long rich yellow 
buds are delicately pencilled with soft pink at the tips. 
The rich yellow flowers, perfectly formed, fully double 
with high centers, are borne on long, sturdy stems. The 
plants are exceptionally strong and hardy with dark shiny 
foliage. 60 petals.
