& 
Rosarians have created a brand-new class, Grandiflora, 
for a very lovely, vigorous and versatile group of Roses. 
The Grandifloras combine several characteristics of both 
Hybrid Tea and Floribunda. They are tall, free-flowering 
plants which produce sometimes clustered blooms, some- 
times single specimens, on Jong stems fine for cutting. 
Flower size falls between the Hybrid Tea and Floribunda; 
flower and bud form are similar to the Hybrid Tea class. 
Queen Elizabeth is the first Grandiflora to win the AII- 
BUCCANEER America award, since this new class was only created within 
the past year. Happily, this new Rose is a most worthy 
one with which to make a beginning.

Buccaneer. Plant Patent 1119. Brilliant and 
non-fading yellow, without a tinge of other 
color. Holds color well throughout hottest 
summer weather. Vigorous Grandiflora bush; 
long stems; pointed buds and good open flow- 
ers. One of Herbert Swim’s finest creations, 
and if the Grandiflora class had been created 
in 1952, when it was first recognized in this 
variety, not large enough for Hybrid Tea, 
not small enough for Floribunda, it would 
have won the All-America award so many 
believe it well deserves. $2.75. 
Carrousel. Plant Patent 1066. One of the 
showiest and most satisfactory of dark red 
Roses to date. Very vigorous in growth; 
branching and free-flowering. Large blooms 
for a cluster variety; some blooms on single 
stems; color is non-fading. Carrousel thrives 
in many sections of America; often does re- 
markably well under adverse conditions. $2.00. 
Queen Elizabeth. Plant Patent 1259. All- 
America Winner for 1955. A very lovely Rose, 
honoring a very lovely lady! This pure pink 
Rose, shown in color on the front cover of our 
catalog, ts one of the finest varieties ever in- 
troduced in America. Not every All-America 
winner in the past has thrived in the South, 
but this one is well nigh perfection. In test 
gardens in all the Southern states it has shown 
excellent growth and flowering qualities. 
Queen Elizabeth is a charming color, a blend- 
ing of carmine-rose with dawn-pink. It is a 
profuse bloomer and of the most vigorous 
growth. It is a development of the noted 
hybridizer, Dr. Walter Lammerts, who calls 
it his finest creation, which is putting it 
strongly, for he has given us such other splen- 
did roses as Charlotte Armstrong and Chrysler ™ a 
Imperial. Everyone will love Queen Elizabeth! CARROUSEL 
$3.00. Vigorous, Floriferous, Showy Grandiflora
