FRED HOWARD 
AARS-1952 
A glorious new yellow, and one of the most rugged 
Roses ever introduced. 
The large vigorous plants attain a height of four feet, 
have lustrous green foliage, and very long, strong stems 
holding erect each glorious fifty-petalled yellow flower. 
In the fall blooming season there is a notable transition 
in 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 mauye. 
Then they are at their zenith—a perfect harmony of lovely 
autumn tints. 
The Fred Howard Rose has a delightful fragrance that 
can be likened to the Marechal Niel, or the old tea roses so 
beloved years ago. The freely produced flowers have proven 
to last much longer than most any other variety after cutting.
