The Newer EVERBLOOMING ROSES 
RED FAVORITES 
CHARLES MALLERIN. Dark crimson velvet. One of 
our finest dark red roses. Very velvety and has out- 
standing substance. One of our favorites. Pat. 933. 
$2.50 each. 
CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG. The originators of this 
rose, calls it “Queen of Them All,” and well it may 
be. Winner of the sole 1941 AARS award. Its long, 
slender, cerise buds and magnificent open flowers 
make it very popular. Fine for cutting and a con- 
sistent show winner. Pat. 455. $2.25 each. Illustrated 
inside back cover. 
CHRYSLER IMPERIAL. 1953 All-America Winner. 
Vivid, rich tones of crimson are enhanced by darker 
overtones of glowing oxblood red, and the gem-like 
lustre of garnet in the folds retains its sparkling 
beauty. Long tapering buds unfold even in adverse 
weather, opening to large, high centered flowers 
measuring 4% to 5 inches with 40 to 50 petals. Flow- 
ers are sweetly scented with a true rose fragrance. 
An ideal red exhibition rose. Illustrated on Page 31. 
PAteULOs. peso seach. 
DETROITER. Symbolic of America’s ‘motor city’, 
Detroiter is vibrant and alive with color. Rich carmine- 
red buds that open slowly to huge high-centered bloom 
of deep red. A stablemate of New Yorker and other 
roses to come that will be named after American 
cities. P.A.F. $2.50 each. 
ENA HARKNESS. A grand new English rose 
that we recommend as the finest rose listed in 
this catalog regardless of price. It’s a vivid, 
poinsettia-like scarlet with no fading, bluing or 
burning. A very pronounced fragrance. Good 
shaped bush with disease-free foliage. An ab- 
solute “must” for every garden. You'll be hear- 
ing a lot about this rose in the next few years. 
Illustrated on Page 2. $1.50 each. 
NEW YORKER. Called by the originator as ‘‘The 
Best Red Rose of all Time.’ While we don’t exactly 
agree with him, New Yorker is worth a place in any 
garden—even two or three of them if you like an 
enormous red rose that stays red until the last petals 
wither and fall. 3 ft. Pat. 823. $2.00 each. 
NOCTURNE. Back in our list of red roses again after 
an absence of two years. Long slender buds of bright 
cardinal red with darker shadings open to substantial 
fragrant blooms. Very vigorous, tall upright habit of 
growth. Fragrant. Has a tendency to mildew for us 
if not sprayed regularly. Pat. 713. $2.00 each. 
WHITE FAVORITES 
SLEIGH BELLS. A new white rose that seems to be 
gaining in popularity. Lemon at the base with just a 
touch of pink sometimes. A good vigorous plant and 
plenty of clean foliage. Pat. 1004. $2.00 each. 
WHITE SWAN. There is nothing any prettier or 
purer than a white rose nestled in dark green foliage. 
White Swan is pure white and has the dark green 
foliage. The form is so perfect that it could easily give 
McGredy’s Ivory a run for the money in any rose 
show. Our quantities will be limited. Pat. 1115. $2.25 
each. 
WHITE WINGS. Somebody once said that simplicity 
is perfection in art. In White Wings, a single white, 
we have that simplicity. Lots of people call this the 
“White Dainty Bess’. A most unusual rose for flower 
arrangements. Pat. 850. $1.75 each.

TWO-TONE FAVORITES 
CONFIDENCE. Originated by the man who gave us 
Peace. At certain times during the season, this rose 
has the coloring of the Peace. Each petal is a yellow- 
gold at the base turning to a dark pink on the outer 
edge. We have watched this rose in the various test 
gardens and when they said it was the “Most Beau- 
tiful Rose of France” they did not do it any injustice. 
Seems to be suited perfectly for our Inland Empire 
climate. We would call it our favorite blend rose. 
P.A.F. $2.00 each:

DEAN COLLINS. (The Lazy Gardener’s Rose) 
Dean Collins is the first in a new strain of roses 
—the Flori-Tea; a cross of Charlotte Arm- 
strong (Hybrid Tea) and Floradora (Flori- 
bunda), both All-America winners. Charlotte 
Armstrong and Floradora were both excellent 
roses so with their blood in Dean Collins you 
know what you can expect. 
The Spirea-red buds open to full, double, 
long lasting blooms of rose opal and carmine. 
The plants are vigorous and upright, with glossy 
dark, dark green, disease resistant foliage. Here 
is really a “toughy” rose that will perform 
beautifully with very little care—truly a lazy 
gardener’s rose. Illustrated on Page 2. P.A.F. 
$2.50 each. 
FORTY-NINER. One of the most brilliant of all bi- 
color roses and certainly one of the most attractive. 
Vivid red with straw yellow on the reverse. Vigorous 
plants with very nice foliage. Pat. 792. $2.50 each. 
FRED EDMUNDS. Beautifully shaped orange colored 
buds open to apricot orange flowers. Green glossy 
foliage. 2% ft. $2.00.

MOJAVE. Illustrated on our cover this year. 
Winner of the only 1954 All-America Award 
for a Hybrid Tea. Introduced by Armstrong’s 
Nursery, Mojave takes its name from the fa- 
mous California 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 vermillion. 
Next to color, the outstanding feature of 
Mojave is the amazing number of long-stemmed 
buds it produces—beautiful tapering buds which 
open to big, pleasantly fragrant, richly colored 
flowers. The exquisite bud form is inherited 
from Mojave’s famous parent, Charlotte Arm- 
strong, and like the buds of Charlotte Arm- 
strong these are nearly always borne singly on 
long stout stems. They are marvelous for cut- 
ting. 
Mojave is a rose that everyone will want to 
grow because of its vigorous nature. We can 
promise you that Mojave is one variety which 
will shine in your garden not only for its good 
color but for its all around good garden per- 
formance. Pat. 1176. $3.00 each. 
MME. HENRI GUILLOT. Don’t let the name trip 
you up; just call it “Madam Henry” like we do. 
Foliage very leathery like Peace. Blooms of water- 
melon to raspberry pink with gold base. Pat. 337. 
$2.00 each.
