CHRYSLER IMPERIAL 
PATENT NO. 1167 
In color, CHRYSLER IMPERIAL is unmatched by 
any other red rose. Its vivid, rich tones of crimson 
are enchanced by darker overtones of glowing oxblood 
red, and the gem-like lustre of garnet in the folds re- 
tains 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 wide petals. These are borne on sturdy, medium 
long stems. The opening of each glorious rose is a 
thrilling spectacle of changing, iridescent shades of 
red. In growth, CHRYSLER IMPERIAL ROSE is 
compact and symmetrical. Its abundant, dark green, 
semi-glossy foliage gives the bush the appearance of 
a handsome garden shrub. A.A.R.S. award for 1953.

which this rose passes. The buds are golden yellow 
etched with pink. As they open they turn from 
canary-yellow to pale gold, then to iridescent cream. 
Petals are edged with apple blossom pink that deepens 
as the flowers slowly open to glorious 5-inch blooms. 
The petals roll gracefully out to form a very double 
flower attractively cupped and with a high-centered 
golden heart. Has from 40 to 45 large petals. The 
fragrance is delicate. The plant is vigorous and 
disease-resistant. Flowers are borne on heavy stems 
above the mass of glossy, hollylike foliage, and are
