MOJAVE—The only AARS Hybrid Tea winner for 1954. 
Mojave is named for California’s famous desert, and the 
name fits it perfectly because its rich coloring is typical 
of a desert sunset—glowing orange shot with flame-like 
tones of scarlet and vermilion. The plant is extremely 
vigorous and seldom without a display of blooms. The 
‘long stemmed long tapering buds open to big, pleasantly 
fragrant, richly colored flowers.
