ROSE 
(Plant Pat. 1269) 
This huge hybrid tea 
show rose of exciting 
blended pink coloring, an 
Arp introduction, is a 
product of the Armstrong 
Research Department. The 
double, high-centered 
flowers of charming light 
to medium pink color grad- 
ually become cupped in 
form as they open wide. 
They are of exhibition 
size—about 5 inches in 
diameter—with 38 to 45 
petals, and have strong 
and pleasing Damask fra- 
grance. Petals are thick 
and satiny and are ar- 
ranged regularly. They 
are not easily affected 
by the weather. The bud 
color is carmine to crim- 
son. Two famous roses, 
Charlotte Armstrong and 
Texas Centennial, were 
the parents, and from them 
this splendid newcomer 
inherited vigorous, healthy 
growth. The upright plant 
grows to about 5 feet the 
first season and is well 
covered with glossy, 
leathery foliage. It flowers 
abundantly and the blooms 
are excellent for cutting 
because they are so long 
lasting. A real blue-ribbon 
rose. 
CORAL eID ose 
Except for some 
climbers blooming the 
second season, every 
Arp rose is guaranteed 
to grow and bloom, and 
every tree to leaf, the 
spring following plant- 
ing. 
If any fail after nor- 
mal care (cultural sug- 
gestions in each ship- 
ment), report by August 
1, 1957, and Arp will 
replace FREE.
