Gh standing New “Roses 
Peace (Page 84) 
Perhaps the most popular Rose today. One marvel of it is the dawnlike range of colors through 
which it passes from opening yellow buds, each petal edged with pink that seems to deepen as 
the flower slowly opens. The shades of color vary, too, from flower to flower and through the 
changing seasons. Though the bloom is unusually large, long lasting and constantly fresh looking, 
its,effect is always delicate and lovely. The individual petals are long and of great substance, 
gradually opening, a few at a time, around a high-pointed center; to a great, golden hearted, 
very double, fully open flower. 
Floribunda Rose, Connie Mack (Page 99) 
The flowers are a dark, velvety crimson growing in graceful clusters which have aptly been 
called ‘florists’ spray’’ Roses. The foliage represents a marked advance in Rose breeding, being 
almost immune to attacks of mildew. Many clusters of bloom with long stems and long lasting 
qualities are produced from spring through fall. You will find the Rose ‘‘Connie Mack’’ te be 
one of the choice Floribunda Roses. The sturdiness and vigor of this variety make it a superb 
garden plant as well as one of the best for cutting, not to mention as a flowering Rose hedge. 
Hybrid Tea Rose, Hedda Hopper (Page 90) 
A rare combination of delicacy and sturdiness is the Rose ‘““Hedda Hopper.’ The delicate pink 
of the flowers in all stages of opening is unusual in itself but together with such a sweet per- 
fume, it is rare indeed. The buds of ‘’Hedda Hopper’’ slowly open to a full centered, well formed, 
long lasting flower. Undulations of the petals add a unique feature while the characteristic of 
retaining its form until the petals drop will continually amaze the proud growers of this new Rose.

Hybrid Tea Rose, Remembrance (Page 85) 
Remembrance produces gorgeous Roses on long erect stems. The deep canary-yellow buds are 
borne singly at the tips or terminals of the stems. When fuily expanded, a beautiful dawn-pink 
flushes the tips of the! laminated petals. During its development, there emanates from the flow- 
ers a sheen and a glow that transforms it into Gardenia-like perfection and beauty. Its lovely 
form, ‘beautiful tints and delicate coloring as well as its strong and vigorous growth make it a 
Fashion (Page 98) 
Fascinating new Floribunda of coral-pink overlaid with gold. Rich Orien- 
tal red buds open into 31'4-inch blooms of clear coral that later deepen 
to red tones. Bushy 3-ft. plants produce large clusters of delighfully fra- 
grant flowers from early summer till frost. 
Butterscotch (Page 87) 
Introduced three years ago, Butterscotch is making a name for itself and 
continues to delight gardeners everywhere with its warm, glowing color and 
artistic shape. For outstanding performance and beauty, this superb Tea 
Rose cannot be equalled nor can its rare color be matched by any other 
variety. 
Rose you will long remember. 
When this new Rose is sent to a friend or planted in your garden all will say no finer Rose 
could have been chosen to bear the significant name ‘““REMEMBRANCE.” 
Hill Top (Page 90) 
One of the best and latest of Hill’s introductions. Handsomely moulded 
flowers with loosely rolled outward petals are deep capucine-buff with pale 
pink edges. Reports indicate that this fine Hybrid Tea Rose is performing 
splendidly and gaining great favor in all sections of the country. People 
write us “its tops.” 
Sleigh Bells (Page 93) 
The flowers open gradually into blooms of great size, with 40 or more 
petals of heavy substance. A trace of primrose at the base of the petals 
adds life to the flower. Best of all, this white Rose is really fragrant. Sleigh 
Bells is the better white Rose you have been looking for. 
‘Cwo Remarkably Fine Perpetual lowering Climbers 
Climbing Rose, Inspiration (Page 109) 
Inspiration is an appropriate companion Rose for the new Dream Girl 
with similar growth habit. It is not too rampant or tall growing and so 
has many uses on trellises, arbors, and pillars of medium size and height. 
Successive crops follow from June on through October and show the same 
sparkling pink tones as found in that fine old Hybrid Tea, Pink Radiance, 
and tne once-blooming Mary Wallace Climber. It is very hardy, reliable 
and free-blooming in all sections, same as Dream Girl Climber. 
Climbing Rose, Dream Girl (Page 109) 
The new everblooming Hardy Climber and Pillar Rose. This variety fills 
a long-felt need for a real coral-pink, full-petaled, hardy Climbing Rose. 
Another most appealing quality is its pleasant spicy and penetrating fra- 
grance. The blooms last for days after cutting. Beginning in June when 
older Climbers like Mary Wallace, Dr. Van Fleet and others in this class 
finish blooming, Dream Girl produces successive crops of flowers through- 
out the summer, ending with a gorgeous display in late fall. It has neat, 
compact habit which allows for easy training on a 6- to 8-foot trellis or 
arbor; also does well when trained as a ‘‘Pillar’’ Rose. 
1952-1953 All : America Rose Selections 
Hybrid Tea Rose, Chrysler Imperial (Page 85) 
Vivid crimson-red, an outstanding red Rose. The buds are long and 
tapering. It is an excellent grower and free blooming. Altogether, a fine 
addition to the red Roses. Winner of the All-America Award for 1953. 
Hybrid Tea Rose, Fred Howard (Page 86) 
One of the last creations of the dean of American rosarians and one of 
his best, this Rose was named to honor its producer, Fred Howard. The long, 
rich yellow buds are tipped with a delicate penciling of light pink and 
when the buds open you see a full double, high centered, beautifully form- 
ed flower. 
Hybrid Tea Rose, Helen Traubel (Page 86) 
The color is distinctive—clear pastel tones of pink to apricot even ap- 
Pproaching orange at times. It has an unusually long, graceful bud, a very 
large open flower with good form, fine: substance and a pleasing fragrance. 
The plant has proven to be exceedingly vigorous with us. One of those 
easy to grow kinds which grades up without any trouble. 
Floribunda Rose, Vogue (Page 99) 
Marvelous new Floribunda with an iridescent, brilliantly glowing color of 
begonia-rose flushed with salmon. The individual flowers, 3 to 4 inches in 
diameter, are perfectly formed, high centered and Hybrid Tea shaped. The 
plants grow 21% to 3 ft. tall or better when established. All-America Rose 
Selections Winner, 1952; Gold Medal, Geneva, Switzerland, 1950; First 
Certificate, Bagatelle, Paris, 1950. 
Floribunda Rose, Ma Perkins (Page 98) 
Although the Ophelia-shaped buds start a translucent Fashion color, 
fortified by shades of red in the outer petals, the flowers burst open to 
coral-shell. The suffusion of yellow is present in all of the early stages 
until at the very end of bloom, it finishes a soft shell-pink. 
The flowers appear in clusters and singly throughout the season. The 
color is sparkling from start to finish and the rich fragrance is unusual. 
All-America Award Winner for 1953. 
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TWO GRAND CLUSTER ROSES 
Rosenelfe (Page 100) 
Graceful clusters of dainty La-France-pink flowers superbly suited for 
cutting and table decoration. The handsomely shaped small buds or 
open blooms lend themselves perfectly to any kind of decoration. In the 
garden they never fail to draw attention.

Glorious (Page 100) 
Extremely vigorous bushes, well branched, producing strong canes that 
divide into many open sprays, bearing informal clusters of deep ver- 
milion buds, expanding into semi-double flowers of Tyrian rose. It can be 
truthfully said, the flowers cover the plants. For mass planting or group- 
ing; in fact, for any situation where a wealth of color is desired, it is 
superb,
