Many-Flowered 
Beautiful 
Just as Beautiful, but a Great 
Deal More Hardy 
The Brownell’s are a new race of 
hybrid teas developed from hardier 
species. Not only do they have the 
peeuty of form, the color, the size, 
and the fragrance of regular hybrid 
teas but, in addition, they have far 
greater hardiness and vigor. 
Under ordinary conditions, Brown- 
ell’s do not kill back to any extent in 
the winter and, therefore, unless de- 
liberately pruned back to keep the 
bush small in the spring, they will, 
from year to year, gain size until, 
after three or four years, you have a 
bush four to five feet high, loaded 
with hundreds of roses throughout 
the summer. 
In extremes of temperature which 
kill out the ordinary hybrid tea roses, 
the Brownell’s may kill back close 
to the ground, but they will always 
come out again in the spring and 
bloom all summer as usual. 
Brownell roses probably will cost 
you less in the long run than any

Bushy, Colorful 
Al385—FASHION (Patent No. 789). 
The only rose to win four Interna- 
tional Awards: America. England, 
France and Switzerland. Its soft, yet 
vivid, salmon pink has never been 
matched by any other rose. 2.00

No. 811). Most brilliantly colored rose 
we have ever seen. Spicy fragrance 
too. 1.75 each; 3 for 4.65; (2 for

Al387—GOLDILOCKS (Patent No.

flowers like miniature tea roses that 
open to large golden blooms. 1.50

No, 812). Double, cup-shaped blooms 
of velvety crimson. 1.50 each; 3 for 
3.90; §!2 for §5.60, postpaid. 
Al390—MASQUERADE (Patent No. 
975). A brand new one that we told 
you about, but didn’t picture, in our 
Fall 1954 catalog. But even our pic- 
ture falls far short of the unusual 
beauty of this rose. You really have 
to see several different blossoms of 
this rose, and watch it throughout its 
full blooming cycle, to understand it. 
Here is why: 
Each bud is golden yellow with tiny 
vermillion marks. The center bud of 
each cluster opens first. becoming 
rosy pink as the petals unfold. This 
rose pink deepens gradually to a deep 
red, and again passes through an- 
other lovely color sequence of yellow, 
silver pink, red and orange. The 
There are some gorgeous roses 
in this class of Floribundas. .!n 
fact, among them are found some 
of the most outstanding roses of 
all time. For instance, there never 
has been a bush rose that would 
produce year after year the abun- 
dance of flowers that Eutin will. 
Nor do we know of a Floribunda, 
or any other type of rose, that has 
ever equaled the absolutely clear 
orange color of Floradora. 
These Floribundas are a vigor- 
ous class of roses, unexcelled for 
mass planting, or for planting 
with shrubs to give color to the 
shrub border throughout the sum- 
mer. They also are ideal as a rose 
edging for walks, and they make 
other hybrid tea rose because, with 
them, you avoid costly, frequent re- 
placement of your hybrid tea roses. 
That’s why more and more people 
are planting them each year. 
AIOIG—QUEEN OF THE LAKES. 
Deep crimson with large flowers on 
upright plant. Beautifully shaped 
buds on long stems. Named for the 
Queen of Minnesota’s aquatic sports, 
and no diving beauty can show more 
grace, brilliance, elegance and beauty 
of form. 
AIO13—LILY PONS. Exquisitely 
shaped, fully double blossoms of pure 
white shading to soft canary yellow 
in the center on a bush that is vig- 
orous and free blooming. Probably 
the finest of all for cut flowers. 
A1020—TIP TOES. Looks like an 
overall salmon but. if you look closely, 
you will see that it is a delightful 
mixture of red. orange and pink tints. 
The huds and opening flowers are 
lone and pointed, with the class and 
elegance of the finest of tea rose 
blooms. In addition, they have a 
sweet, spice-like fragrance. 
A102!—V for VICTORY. We 
have seen a lot of yellow 
roses come and go here at 
Henry Field's, and we believe 
this is one of the very finest. 
It has very large, double, 
bright vellow flowers that do 
not fade. And while weak- 
ness of growth generally is 
associated with vellow tea 
roses, WV for Victory has 
strong growing qualities. 
This is the rose that has con- 
founded so many of the ex- 
perts. 
FLORIBUNDA ROSE 
flowers are borne in clusters, semi- 
double, and very large. As the flow- 
ers gradually open at different times 
in each cluster, there usually are 
blooms of three. four, or five distinct- 
ly different colors in each cluster— 
hence the name Masquerade. Cut a 
branch of this rose and you have with 
it alone a bouquet of many colors, all 
blended in perfect harmony. 2.00 
each; 3 for 5.25; 6 for 9.90, postpaid. 
A1388—GLACIER (Patent No. 1025). 
This is the whitest of all Floribunda 
Roses. We have not before offered a 
white Floribunda because we never 
before found one worth listing, ex- 
cepting the old non-patented Dagmar 
Spath, which is still a fine rose. 
But in Glacier we have a new, 
large-flowered Floribunda type with 
icy-white buds that glisten and dance 
like icicles in the sun. These buds 
open to large, soft, snow-white 
blooms up to 4% inches across, borne 
either singly or in clusters. Glacier 
will be beautiful planted with the 
more highly colored Floribunda such 
as Embers, Fashion, Geranium Red 
and Goldilocks. 2.26 each; 3 for 
6.98; 6 for 11.40, postpaid. 
A1l383—EMBERS (Patent No. 1178). 
Well named. Truly, the only place 
you have ever seen the glow of its 
fiery color equaled is in a burning, 
red hot coal. And instead of fading 
the brilliant red blooms age to a 
darker color, leaving the stage to the 
more conspicuous fresh ones. 
Equal to its vivid blooms is the 
striking contrast between their color 
and the extremely dark, almost 
bronze, foliage which sets off the 
gorgeous hedges. 
And the Floribundas are being 
considered more and more as one 
of the finest of all roses for cut- 
ting because of the way the roses 
grow on the stem; only a stem or 
two naturally makes a beautiful 
bouquet without any arranging. 
PRICES of the following five 
non-patented Floribunda Roses: 
1.10 each; 3 for 3.15; 6 for 5.98; 
12 for 11.40, postpaid. 
A1337—EUTIN. Glowing carmine- 
red. Up to 125 semi-double blos- 
soms in one cluster. Showiest and 
“bloomingest” plant in our whole 
rose field. 
are 
AIOlI—ORANGE RUFFLES. Be- 
cause of its fragrance alone, this rose 
is a must for your garden. To us, it 
has the most refreshing, spicy, room- 
filling fragrance of any rose. In ad- 
dition, it has a true orange color sel- 
dom found in such purity in rose 
blossoms, The flowers are many pet- 
aled, beautifully shaped, and borne 
in profusion on bushes which tend to 
broaden out rather than be tall. 
AtOO!I—BREAK O'DAY. Huge, very 
double blooms with a delicate pastel 
color that occasionally makes it so 
useful in toning down the brighter 
colors of some of the other roses. A 
soft orange to apricot, and borne 
profusely on a very large bush. Well 
named, and easily grown well. 
AtOO2—CURLY PINK. In our opinion, 
this is the finest of all pink roses, regard- 
less of kind or price, We have had some 
here at the seedhouse for four years now, 
and they are from four to five feet in 
height, and about that wide, and loaded 
solid with roses throughout the growing 
season. Rolls its petals back slightly so 
that you see not only the face but the re- 
verse side of the petals, thus presenting a 
two-toned effect. Also has a tendency to 
form several blooms in a cluster in vari- 
ous stages of opening, so often a single 
eut stem makes a gorgeous bouquet. 
A1O0O03—COUNTRY DOCTOR. One of the 
largest flowered of all. Has huge, solitary, 
double blooms. Color is a deep, silvery 
pink with a satiny luster that shows up 
well on the long upright stems character- 
istic of this variety. Long-lived and hardy. 
A1007—HANDSOME RED. No printed 
page can show the full beauty of this new 
variety. It has its own wonderful velvety 
sheen. In fact, so many garden visitors 
have exclaimed: ‘That is the most beau- 
tiful scarlet rose I have ever seen," that 
we offer to refund your payment for the 
first bush purchased of us if you do not 
agree, and you may keep that plant. 3.00 
each, postpald.

glowing embers as no green foliage 
could. In our own rose fields, you can 
spot the rows of Embers as far away 
as you can see them. There is no 
rose that will compare with it. 2.25 
each; 3 for 5.98; 6 for 11.40, post- 
paid. 
A1389—LAVENDER PINOCCHIO 
(Patent No. 947). Actually lavender 
—a brand new color in roses, and one 
that will give you not only something 
different for your rose garden but one 
that will give you an entirely new 
series of color arrangements. The 
color varies greatly with the season. 
2.00 each; 3 for 5.25; 12 for 21.00, 
postpaid. 
A1397—WORLD'S FAIR (Patent No. 
632). An all America Award Winner 
and the blackest red of all Floribun- 
das. It is a velvety rich maroon, and 
the blossoms are double. 1.50 each; 
3 for 3.90; 12 for 15.60, postpaid. 
AI391—NEARLY WILD(Patent Ap- 
plied For). A Brownell Floribunda 
with large clusters of single flowers 
that are apple-bloom pink and white, 
and about the size of a silver dollar. 
The plant makes a dense, broad, 
three-foot tall shrub that is solid-full 
of bright blooms all summer long. 
This is one of the few varieties that 
our grower chose to plant around his 
own house. 1|.76 each: 3 for 6.10; 
{2 for 19.80, postpaid.

exquisite buds and flowers of light 
pink with yellow base.

ing red. Fine cut flower too. Stands 
dryness better than any other rose.

ters of very large, white, semi- 
double blossoms.

roses grow bushy and 
many-flowered, as the picture above of 
Floribunda 
Embers Floribunda shows. They have 
clusters of brilliantly colored blooms 
that cover the bush continuously from 
June until frost. And the flowers (ex- 
cept in Nearly Wild) are large, fully 
double, and fine for cutting. 
Being so bushy and floriferous, they 
have many uses—in the rose bed, for 
borders, among evergreens, as hedges, 
interplanted with shrubs, or in any place 
you want a splash of color all summer. 
Some colors have appeared in the Flori- 
bunda roses, such as the soft vibrant 
salmon-pink of Fashion, and the delicate 
lavender of Lavender Pinocchio, that 
have not been duplicated in hybrid tea 
roses.
