Vogue, the new Floribunda and All-America Winner for 1952
Text Appearing After Image:
Other 7952 Winners Fred Howard /JjH^s. Here is a new rose which carries all the golden color and ro- \^^/\ bust vigor of the West, where it originated. Its big, 50 petaled, fully double, buff yellow blooms, often lightly flushed with pink at the edges of the petals, are far above average in size, and because the flowers open slowly and last a long while, full and compact to the very end, they make splendid cut blooms. The beauty of the flower is not in the ovoid bud but in the half-open and fully blown flowers which are nearly always per- fect. The fragrance is slight. Fred Howard is one of those roses which has a plant that grows vig- orously from the very start and in Western gardens will get up to 4 or 5 feet with no trouble at all. The stems are straight and stout, with one fine flower atop each stem. The plant is both tall and bushy, and while the crinkled olive green foliage is not the most beautiful in roses, it covers the plant adequately. Named after its originator, a well-known Southern California nurseryman, the late Fred Howard. Plant Pat. No. 1006. $2.75 each; 3 or more, $2.40 each. Vogue /jZSs£\ Since good Floribundas are becoming more popu- ( vsSS^) lar throughout the country, we welcome the advent AAlRS °f tnis new All-America Winner, with its many beautiful little flame-red buds, long, slender, and flared at the end. The flowers are borne in clusters of from 3 to 10, opening one after the other until the entire cluster makes a beautiful spray of color. The 16-petaled flowers are a rich, deep coral-pink in color after they open wide, and they make a line mass display on the plant—as a good Floribunda should. The plant is medium in height, reaching 3 feet or more in Western gardens, rather open in habit, with small dark green foliage. The plant is spreading rather than slender, and has plenty of vigor so that it keeps producing one crop after another of the beautiful little blooms. In the All-America test gardens it seems to have proved its hardiness in all sections of the country where roses are grown. Originated by E. S. Boerner. Plant Pat. No. 926. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each; 25 or more, $1.80 each.
