Y Yeertu / 7 ened by dark overtones of glow- 
ing oxblood-red and the gem- 
like luster of garnet in the folds, retaining this sparkling beauty 
throughout the life of the flowers. Evolving from long, tapering, 
velvety maroon-red buds, the flowers of this lovely Rose, like the 
facets of a diamond, change with the play of light; the iridescent 
shades of red deepen and become more brilliant as they open to their 
full 4144 to 5 in. The broad petals are symmetrically arranged and 
imbricated, finally rising artistically in the center, as in Charlotte 
Armstrong, one of the Chrysler Imperial parents, to completely cover 
the stamens. These abundant, high-centered flowers are borne singly 
on perfect, sturdy, medium- long cutting stems which make it excellent 
for bouquets. The beautifully formed blooms have between 40 and 
50 wide petals. Chrysler Imperial, the All-America Selections Award 
Winner for 1953, has a well-balanced, compact bush with an abund- 
ance of dark green, disease-resistant foliage Plant this lovely Rose 
this fall for enjoyment next season. (PI. Pat. #1167.)

(Above) Exquisite burnt-orange buds open very slowly 
while retaining their high centers and finally explode into bril- 
liant 5-in., coral-orange blooms, produced freely on 34-ft. plants. 
As the buds unfurl, ‘the petals open to a flat position, making a large, airy 
flower. The edges of the petals are an interesting darker shade. The 
foliage is a shiny green and nicely balanced on the plant. It hangs on well 
and sturdily withstands ordinary Rose ills. In addition to being vigorous, 
the bush has a clean open habit. It has caused many very favorable com- 
ments from the testing stations that have had it. These stations in Mon- 
tana, Georgia, and Portland, Oregon, are enthusiastic over the Rose and its 
free production of highly colored blooms and have given it a prominent 
position in their Rose gardens. Experts and amateurs alike have a high 
regard for Serenade; so will you. (Pl. Pat. #852.)
