Hybrid Tea
BIG monstrous buds & blossoms of rich pink have an inner
glow of golden yellow. SUPER broad round petals lend a
classical flower form, slowly spiraling open from pin-point
centers to full plentiful pulchritude. LARGE luxurious
leaves of unusual light green color dress the bushy plant.
LONG stems are perfect for bouquets…but it won’t take
many of these big beauties to fill a vase. Comments:
Largest size in cooler conditions.

Grandiflora
(cv. AROyqueli)
Here’s a yellow that stands in defiance against the
climatic throes of Mother Nature. The very vigorous plant
gives a nearly constant supply of shapely dark gold buds
brushed with orange and deep golden yellow flowers
rich with fruity fragrance. The long stems are low-thorned
and clothed with large very resistant deep green foliage.
Comments: Deeper color in moderate climates.

Some might say “orange”, some “gold”, some “amber”
or maybe it is even double-dipped yellow”. However
your eyeballs perceive it, we can guarantee it is bold &
beautiful, especially with the kiss of red on the finish. This
handsome bushy bouquet machine will fill your garden
with loads of long-stemmed lovelies clothed with a clean
gown of rich green. Certainly not for the faint of heart...
nor for the lovers of pastels.

Here’s a clean mean flowering machine whose big
bountiful beauties reek with old rose romance, style &
fragrance. Each lovely blossom invites you to bury your
nose…to swoon from the perfume of the ‘old time’
roses of your dreams. A big vigorous ‘shrubby’ bush
whose nodding clusters, abundant deep-green leaves &
low-thorned cutting stems provide a perfect touch to a
landscape or bouquet. Comments: A modern antique for
all climates.
