CHOICE ROSES 5 
Grandiflora Roses 
The new “Grandiflora Class” of roses, just recently defined as such 
by the All America Rose Selections, is an exciting new type of rose usually 
the result of crossing Hybrid Tea Roses with the Floribunda varieties. 
Grandiflora varieties are relatively tall in growth, free flowering, often 
with many flowers in clusters but with individual stems long enough for 
cutting. 
The flower size, while not necessarily as large as Hybrid Teas, is 
larger than the average Floribunda bloom, yet with Hybrid Tea quality 
for bud and flower form. 
BUCCANEER 
A briliant unfading yellow rose, whose buds are particularly lovely, 
long, slender and tapering, and they show no color other than clear 
sunshiny yellow. The opened flowers are cup-shaped and have a mod- 
erate fragrance. Heavy flowering on tall branching plants. Buccaneer 
was first introduced in 1953 and has since won many International 
awards. Pat. No. 1119. $2.75 each; 3 for $7.20; $27.50 per doz:: 
CARROUSEL 
The dark velvety red petals fairly glow in the sunshine and the en- 
thusiastic reports received on this variety indicate it to be one of the 
finest red roses in many years. It is very hardy, has no tendency to 
blue or mildew in heat or cold, produces a great abundance of flowers 
with very long cutting stems which keep well when cut. Carrousel 
was the first variety in the new Grandiflora class of roses. Pat. No. 
1066. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.25; $20.00 per doz. 
QUEEN ELIZABETH 
A lovely new color, being a blending of soft carmine-rose and dawn 
pink, with delightfully fragrant flowers supported by long, almost 
thornless cutting stems. The parents are a Floribunda (Floradora) 
and a Hybrid Tea (Charlotte Armstrong). You can enjoy as many 
blooms as on a Florabunda, yet have the wonderful bud form, and 
long lasting larger flowers of the Hybrid Tea roses. An AARS winner 
for 1955, and a gracious queen of modern roses. Pat. No. 1259. $3.00 
each; 3 for $7.95; $30.00 per doz.
