4 oses are Beautiful... Only some 
Four Outstanding Introductions! 
Ever since the first Hybrid Tea Rose was produced in 1867, an endless 
parade of thousands of varieties has followed. Jackson & Perkins, the 
World’s Largest Rose Growers, has been one of the leading con- 
tributors to this Parade of Modern Roses. For over 82 years 
our Research Department has made great strides in produc- 
ing such outstanding Roses as Lodestar, Opera, Tawny 
Gold, and Detroiter. Here are only four of J. & P.’s 
prized Roses. All the Roses appearing in this catalog 
are guaranteed to be the finest available. 
old 
(ise esr 
fame Large apricot buds open to grand, 
luscious ‘peach- colored blooms. The 
outer perimeter of this new Rose is of 
longer buff-pink petals enclosing a full 
center of lively peach color. The flower 
is very double, reminiscent of some of 
the sweetly fragrant, full old-fashioned 
monthly Roses. Although modern in its 
Outeace flower production, its general appearance and its delightful 
effect, here is the Rose that answers the often-heard plea 
for “‘fullness and fragrance,’’ like the Roses of old. The 
plant is bushy and the foliage is medium green. The 414 to 
5-in., fully double flower is heavily perfumed with a very 
distinctive, sweet but richly spiced fragrance. Every garden £ 
should have a planting of this long-lasting newcomer, for 
its fragrance, its size and form and its friendly cheerful- 
ness. Lodestar will surely give unbounded joy to new and 
old rosarians alike and will for many years to come 
be the “lucky star’’ of the garden. Reaches a 
height of 21 to 3 ft. (Pl. Pat. Applied For.)

PER The Brilliant Slender 
Gold Medal Winner! 
(Right) Opera was a sensation in France in 1948 
when it was awarded a gold medal as the most beautiful Rose 
in that country where beauty reigns supreme. This modern 
Hybrid Tea is from Jean Gaujard of France, and a real prize- 
winner it is. In addition to the gold medal in France, it has } 
also won medals in London, Geneva and Bagatelle . . . and 
you'll know why when you see it blooming in your garden. » 
The charming, slender buds are almost bicolor—an intensive iba 
suffusion of golden yellow at the base and scarlet at the top! es 
As these buds slowly open into full, 6-in. flowers, the petals 
quill slightly and the color becomes a gay, flaming, light 
scarlet-red with buff-yellow on the reverse. The hardy, vigor- 
ous plant has great quantities of leathery, dark green, disease- 
resistant foliage . . . and produces dozens of long-stemmed 
beauties! (Pl. Pat. #1017.)
