tection—bloom freely even during summer drought—grow larger, more beautiful each year—grow

A LIFETIME OF BEAUTY AND COLOR 
Withstands SUB-ZERO Temperatures 
DISEASE-RESISTANT 
These magnificent species were developed by famous Rosarian Walter D. 
Brownell after a lifetime of experiments and thousands of field trials. Unlike any 
Hybrid Tea Rose you ever planted—this new ARCTIC race of Roses is perfectly 
hardy without protection! Rich lush green foliage, dense and compact, almost 
totally immune to disease such as common Blackspoit. Immense flowers—often 
more than 100 on a single four-year-old bush—starting early and blooming, bloom- 
ing all season long, right through hot dry summer weather. Most are richly fra- 
grant with a dream Rose perfume you will find hard to forget. 
f WHY ARCTIC ROSES ARE LIFETIME ROSES 
V for Unlike other Reses which are usually at their peak the first year, Stern’s Arctic 
Victory Roses, being bred back to the hardy, vigorous Rosa Wichuraiana, increase in size 
and beauty with each year, reaching their peak during the fourth or fifth season 
and will continue their spectacular display for a lifetime. 
Since Arctic Roses do increase in size year after year, it is advisable to plant 
them further apart than regular Hybrid Teas. At least 3 ft. is best.
