Book Description

Excerpt from Star Roses: Spring 1964 T. (swim Weeks) Plant Pat. 2032. Not many new rose introductions have excited my interest as keenly or satisfied my sense of the beautiful as thoroughly as Royal Highness has. And now that it has bloomed for the first time in many a garden across the country, I feel sure that a Royal High ness Fan Club has sprung automatically into being. How could it be otherwise! The rose is magnificent! Here, in the same rose, we have perfect rose form, wonderfully appealing color, out standing plant habit and (to ice the cake) delicious fragrance. Quite an array of admired qualities! The slim, graceful bud opens into the high-centered, sweetly outflowing bloom. Rows of symmetrically arranged petals add substance. The Royal High ness color, too, is something to behold soft, pastel - almost frosty - pink. A delightful shade which, somehow, seems to be as classic in its way as the form of the open flower 15. Far from least in the total beauty of this rose is the way the blooms are held Long, straight stems hold them as though inviting you to cut them proudly with one fine flower to the stem. Growing to middle height, the plant is well proportioned and attractively decked out in rich, dark green, glossy foliage. As the winner of two of rose-loving America's highest and most desired awards the All - America and the Gold Certificate of the City of Portland Royal Highness has achieved a high place in the opinion of ex perts. A first look in his own garden will convince any gardener that the ezrperts are right Royal Highness is a winner. What about fragrance? The sweetest, most enticing imaginable! An attribute which makes Royal Highness irresistibly appealing! Ea.; 3 or more, ea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
