GRANDIFLORA ROSES 
“The New GRANDIFLORA CLASS consists of varieties relatively tall in 
growth, free flowering, often with many flowers in clsters but with 
individual stems long enough for cutting. The flower size, tho not 
necessarily as large as hybrid teas, is larger than the average Floribunda, 
with Hybrid Tea Standard for bud and flower form.” Carrousel was the 
first new variety to fit into this new class.

There are so many things one can say in petals 
praise of this very fine red Rose, confirming 
reports from all areas in the U.S.A. “Its 
hardiness, in cold and heat with no tendency 
to blue or mildew; great abundance of 
flowers with very long cutting stems, and 
its keeping ability when cut.” We believe 
it is the best red Rose introduced in the past 
ten years. Its dark red velvety petals fairly 
glow in the sunshine. Our 9.2 Rating is 
given by the American Rose Society. The 
Recent Silver Award given by the Inter- 
national Test Garden of Portland, Oregon. 
This plant grows tall and is magnificent as 
a background or hedge.
