(All-America Award Winner for 1952.) The color is distinctive 
—clear pastel tones of pink to apricot, even approaching orange 
at times. It has an unusually long, graceful bud, a very large 
open flower with good form, fine substance and a pleasing 
fragrance. The plant has proven to be exceedingly vigorous with 
us. One of those easy to grow kinds which grades up without 
any trouble.

Many of America’s finest Roses are attributed to the late Fred 
Howard. One that has found greatest favor of its color is ‘The 
Doctor’, which is recognized throughout the world as one of 
the finest pinks in existence. The new Rose ‘Henry Ford’’— 
named cfter one of the greatest of all America’s personalities, is 
similar in color to The Doctor. The buds are longer, spiral in 
form, and rich in fragrance. The flowers are produced more 
freely, the bushes are more rugged. The “‘Henry Ford’’ Rose is a 
cross between The Doctor and Pink Dawn. From preview com- 
ments from those who are qualified to judge Roses, ‘’Henry 
Ford’ will equal or surpass its parents in beauty, fragrance, 
color and growth. There will be many fine ones; among the top 
ones will be the Henry Ford, named as a tribute in honor of the 
great man who gave America so much. The Henry Ford plants 
produce perfectly formed, long, spiral buds. The color is clear 
peach-blossom-pink, without a vestige of shading.
