Siren 
BRE (Above) & 
The Rose That Gardeners Took to Their Hearts! 
Exquisite Ophelia-shaped buds of a translucent light Fashion 
color, graced by shades of red in the outer petals, make a startling 
change to graceful, cup-shaped, 31% to 4-in. blooms of sparkling 
coral-shell-pink. A suffusion of yellow is present in all of the 
early stages, until at the very end of bloom it finishes a soft shell- 
pink. This generous, free bloomer has excellent spring and 
fall blooms that never fade or lose their sparkle. This 1953 
Winner of the All-America Rose Selections Award a 
has a strong, bushy plant that reaches 214 to 3 ft. F 
(Pl. Pat. #1143.) 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.25; 12 for $21.00; 
25 for $40.00

Brilliant! Real ‘‘Fire-Engine Red’’! 
The brilliant fiery scarlet, ruffled flowers of 
Siren are a distinct addition to the Flori- 
bunda family. Graceful clusters of 4 to 5 blooms on 
sturdy stems create a clear and distinct color note. 
These 3 to 314-in. blooms evolve from very dark red 
buds. Even in extreme heat, these blazing red flowers 
keep their form and color, setting your garden ablaze 
all season. The foliage, too, is attractive. (PI. Pat. 
#1197.) $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00; 12 for $24.00
