A Superb Collection of Novelty Roses for the Season of 1927
Frank Reader. This is a 1927 novelty and one of the finest two-toned yellow roses that we have ever had the pleasure of sending out. Most people are acquainted with the old variety Sunburst. This new variety might be referred to as a glorified type, of the same color. In the 1926 Summer show of the Royal Horticultural Society of England, it was awarded the well deserved homor of a first class certificate. It has a large massive bud with a high pointed center which opens to a flower of very large size. The heart of it is golden apricot and shades lighter toward the exterior of the petals. Deliciously apple-scented. This rose will prove a splendid variety for cut flower purposes. It is one of the most profusely blooming roses of its color that we know of. The plants are of strong upright growth with splendid clean-cut foliage. A rose for everybody's garden. Price each $2.50.
