personality, being the only one with a pronounced 
blotch. 
“Rosario is outstanding. I had 9 bulbs and each one 
made a show spike. 
“At Kansas City I took two spikes of 89-46 (Rosario) 
and the show-manager said I should show one spike 
in the open as 89-46 (Fischer) and one spike in the 
recent introductions as Rosario. 
“Here is how I came out: 
“Spike No. 1 won a blue ribbon in the 463 class, then 
the 400 size Division Championship, then the Heart of 
America Rosette, then the open class Championship, 
then the New England Glad Society Special Award 
rosette, and the North American Gladiolus Council 
Bronze Medal, then Reserve Championship of the show, 
NEGS Reserve Rosette and Heart of America cup and 
finally the seedling championship with the New Eng- 
land Glad Society Seedling Rosette. All in all, on this 
one spike I had 1 Blue Ribbon, 4 Rosettes, 1 medal, and 
1 cup. 
“The second spike entered in the Recent Introduc- 
tions class won, first, a blue ribbon in the 400 size, then 
first of all sizes and won the Heart of America Rosette 
and New England Glad Society Recent introductions 
rosette and Heart of America cup. These cups I now 
have and they are our permanent property.”

This glad received its unusual name from its most 
distinguishing feature as to form—buds which curl 
back like rosebuds as they open—and its most distin- 
guishing feature as to color—a delicate halo or picotee 
of rose pink at the extreme edges of the petals. As 
the beautiful Starker arrangement on page 41 reveals, 
this glad is of the same type as Columbia or the older 
Corona but much more subtle in its coloring. In fact, 
it is so subtle that only the ultra-discriminating will 
fully appreciate it. Rosebud Picotee will probably not 
go far as a commercial for this reason but the artistic 
glad fan will love it for arrangements. If you are 
familiar with the new rose Remembrance shown in 
the current Wayside Garden’s catalog, you will see a 
marked resemblance between it and Rosebud Picotee. 
“10-48 (Rosebud Picotee): Very, very good. This 
one opened six and I really fell for the color. In fact 
I think I liked this one second best of the whole bunch.
