Miniature Roses —— 
MINIATURE ROSES are hardy and easy to grow; they require no special 
conditions—just sunshine, good garden soil, good drainage, good air circula- 
tion and general garden care. They grow 8 to 12 inches tall and bear a profusion 
of tiny roses in any well-cared-for flower bed, rockery, border or planter. They 
are perfect for the MINIATURE garden. ee OSes 
CINDERELLA (Pat. 1051). The newest 1953 in- 
troduction. A pure white Rose bearing perfectly 
formed buds singly like the Hybrid Teas. An 
ideal Rose for boutonniere or corsage. 
MIDGET (Pat 466). Perfect in every detail, with 
buds no larger than a grain of wheat and flow- 
ers a mere %-inch across when fully expanded. 
The bright pink buds open to rich deep rose, 
not quite as dark as Tom Thumb, darker than 
Rouletti. The tiniest rose-red, fully double Rose. 
OAKINGTON RUBY. Very double ruby red 
blooming from the middle of May to heavy 
frost. One of the heaviest bloomers and excel- 
lent for borders or as a rock garden plant. 
PIXIE (Pat. 408). The world’s tiniest, fully dou- 
ble, white Rose, with 40 or more petals neatly 
arranged into perfectly formed flowers only 
¥%4-inch across. The buds sometimes have a 
pinkish tinge, which is carried over into the 
flowers during the cool season and may last 
until they have fully expanded. At other times 
it will be pure white. Very free in bloom. 
RED IMP (Pat. 1032). This Miniature Rose is a 
deep, rich crimson that is startling in its bright- 
ness. It is an unfading, even color with no light 
markings. Fully, solidly double, right to the 
center. Beautifully formed buds and blooms that 
mimic to perfection the best of the big Roses. 
ROULETTI. Appealing double flowers of lively 
bright pink color, 1 inch across. Once thought 
to be lost to cultivation, it unexpectedly turned 
up as a pot plant on the window ledge of a 
Swiss cottage. Vigorous, hardy and long-lived. 
3WEET FAIRY (Pat. 748). Deep pink buds open- 
ing to very double, l-inch blooms of a cheer- 
ful bright apple-blossom pink shade. It is the 
first of the Miniatures to present us with a rich 
true Rose fragrance. The fine, long-lasting 
flowers are carried on wiry, upright stems of 
just the right length to permit easy arrange- 
ments in vases or corsages, for which they 
are especially fine. One of the loveliest of all 
Miniatures. 
TOM THUMB (Pat. 169). A trim little fellow, sure 
to hold you spellbound by its unusual charm. 
You will marvel at the tiny buds exposing, 
between the bright green sepals, intensely rich 
crimson flower petals. On expanding, the 
blooms are slightly lighter and the white base 
of the petals comes into view, enlivening the 
color by its contrast. Fine plants, free in bloom. 
MINIATURE ROSES ARE HARDY 
Care for them as you would for Hybrid Teas. 
They may be potted up after they have had a 
short, cold winter rest. They will add beauty 
and interest to a sunny, cool window or the sun 
porch during the winter months.
