CHARLES MALLERIN—Sensational ! 
CHARLES MALLERIN. H. T. Patent 933. 3- 4 feet. 
I will risk an argument with anybody (except Roy Hennessey, of course) 
by stating that Charles Mallerin is my favorite among the modern red 
hybrid teas ...1 challenge anyone to come upon it unexpectedly, without 
a spontaneous exclamation! 
It is a typical man’s rose—the darkest of reds ...as big as Peace, 
with more distinctive, velvety reflexed petals ...a stem to delight a 
florist—a plant to satisfy even ultra-critical Harris Darcy .. . a bouquet 
to make a lady happy. 
Summer 1954. Once upon a time we took a bouquet. of Charles Mallerin 
to ‘‘Dixies''—a favorite dinner spot. Up jumps a gentleman from the bar, 
spilling his martini (alas). “What rose is THAT! ...I have never seen anything 
so magnificent! ... Where can I get five dozen blooms at once! My wife must 
have them!” And this in various phases, was our experience with bouquets 
of Charles Mallerin wherever we displayed them. 
(Now you'll have to admit it’s not often the catalog-writer goes overboard 
like this.) 3 for 6.50 each 2.50 
CHRYSLER IMPERIAL. Patent 1167. ARS 84%. 33 inches. 
Dr. Walter Lammert’s cross between Charlotte Armstrong and Mirandy 
has given the rose-world an enormous, fifty petalled crimson-red, with 
darker overtones. Winner of the All-America Award in 1953. A top per- 
former anywhere! Will give strong competition to all the many beautiful 
red roses of today. 6 fori6:00 «each 2.50
