Roses of Yesterday and Today - Old, Rare, Unusual and Selected Modern Roses

[Scuba]

Fall is a great time to plant roses, and Roses of Yesterday and Today of Brown's Valley, California has some very interesting varieties. I've planted roses from this firm at four different locations in Wisconsin and Illinois, all with great success. They sell roses appropriate for all zones.

Double Delight. Hybrid Tea. (1977) 3-4 feet. Blooms repeatedly. Zones 5-10.
After so many requests for this popular variety, we have decided to add it to our catalog. With several important qualities in a rose - strong rose fragrance, eye-catching color, and good cutting stems, Double Delight serves well in the garden, as a prolific free flowering bush with well formed, creamy pointed buds that blush red in the sun.



Rosette Delizy. Hybrid Tea. (1922) 3-5 feet. Flowers repeatedly. (ros-ETT duh-luh-ZEE)
The vigorous, compact plant and the beauty of the blooms make this Tea rose one of the finest. Pert, well-formed flowers of cadmium yellow edged and shaded with chestnut red on a plant that knows no diseases . . . even laughs at aphids! Very fragrant, with the special scent of the Tea roses.



A spreading plant with handsome, glossy, ribbed foliage common to all Rugosa roses, and carmine double blooms that are strongly perfumed. The bees hover around all the Rugosa roses and pollinate the flowers so that beautiful, round, orange red hips form. The plant flowers and sets hips at the same time, so if you want the large hips to form do not remove spent flowers. Very hardy and recommended to everybody anywhere. You couldn't be disappointed with this rose.
