The Sparkling 
Golden OSeepter 
(Right) Golden Scepter is one of the most wanted yellow 
Roses in American gardens today. Its graceful, long- 
pointed buds of clear golden yellow do not fade but stay 
bright. The gorgeous blooms, reaching 5 to 5! in. 
across, ate high centered and sparkling with sunshine. 
Golden Scepter proudly begins to show its majestic 
beauty in June, when the tall, open plant bursts forth 
with dozens and dozens of slender yellow buds. Slowly 
and gracefully they unfurl into these large, exquisite yellow 
blooms. And these lovely flowers retain their rich color 
even when cut for home flower arrangements. The tall bush 
is vigorous and extremely easy to grow. A well-balanced 
plant reaches a height of 21% to 3 ft. Its dark glossy foliage 
is healthy, as well as pleasing to the eye. A deep yellow Rose that 
really stands out among the reds and pinks in your garden. (PI. Pat.

plant attracts much attention. It thrives as well in 
hotter climates as in the rest of the country. The 
dark black-red flowers are capable of absorbing the 
heat of the sun and still retaining their deep color 
for an unusually long time. An amazing feat for 
a Rose! This long-lasting bloom has a pleasing 
Damask or old Rose fragrance that is well suited 
to its intense color. The 314-ft. bush extends 
long, strong, vigorous canes and stems that make 
it excellent for cutting. An abundance of healthy, 
attractive foliage forms a perfect background for 
the Rose. (Pl. Pat. #1139.)
