The Perfect Rose Garden 
Each year we select 10 roses from our entire list—kinds which are outstanding for 
color, vigor, and general garden performance. By planting the “Big 10” you will 
have a rose garden you can be proud of and that’s not all—you save substantially over 
ordering the same varieties individually. For a fine five-plant garden, the Armstrong- 
originated varieties pictured on this page are offered as “The Armstrong 5.”
