Billy Boiler  We think that this variety has the most perfect blooms of any red climber. The robust plant sends up many canes to 12 feet, and at the tip of each side branch on great long stems for cutting are the immense flowers, absolutely perfect in every way. Deep red, with blackish shadings and quite double, the blooms are beautifully shaped and deliciously fragrant. The colour does not fade in the hottest sun.

Billy Boiler. This Australian Rose is often listed as a climber, but we prefer to call it an 8 foot bush, for it seldom exceeds that height, and sends up many tall willowy canes from the base of the plant, and at the tip of each branch, on great long stems for cutting, are the immense flowers, absolutely perfect in every way, deep red with maroon shadings, quite double, beautifully shaped and deliciously fragrant. The color does not fade in the hottest sun, and while it blooms very little after the spring season, two months is a long time to enjoy the most perfect red Roses in existence. 75c each.

Billy Boiler (A. Clark, 1927). We were a long time getting this beautiful rose from Australia where it originated, and you will find it quite different from the usual type of Hybrid Teas. It sends up many long willowy stems from the base of the plant which go up to 4 or 5 feet. The flowers are freely produced, particularly in spring and autumn, and are a most intense shade of rich scarlet, with a delicate sheen. They are not very full and open rather quickly but nevertheless remain in good condition for a long time, and the color does not fade in the hottest sun. Deliciously fragrant. Just as unusual as its name. $1.00 each.

New and Scarce Climbing Roses. Price $1.50 each. 
Black Boy. H.T. A new climber from Australia which we believe is one of the finest red climbing roses. The blooms are large, quite double, very fragrant and are deep velvety crimson, shaded blackish maroon and scarlet. The plant is a tall rampant climber and the blooms are excellent for cutting, as they are on long stiff stems.

Charlotte Armstrong All-America for 1941
Charlotte Armstrong. (W. E. Lammerts, introduced by Armstrong, 1941.) The finest rose grown or sold by the Armstrong Nurseries in our 51 years of rose growing! That is the statement that we are proud to make concerning this new rose, and our own opinion of the variety has been confirmed by the fact that Charlotte Armstrong is the only strictly new rose to receive an unqualified recommendation for 1941 by All-America Rose Selections, the committee of rose authorities from various parts of the United States who are cooperating in testing new roses.
Charlotte Armstrong is a rose that is amazingly beautiful in all stages, and we believe you will be just as thrilled as we have been with the long, slender, blood-red buds and the magnificent, brilliantly colored open flowers, spectrum-red in cool weather, cerise in hot weather. The long-stemmed blooms are produced in great quantities throughout the season and are ideal for cutting because they open slowly and are beautiful until the last petals drop (and they always do drop when the flowers are left on the plant, leaving no disfiguring old petals to be cut off later). The strong, vigorous, free-branching plants are luxuriantly clothed with handsome foliage. The rose is named after the wife of the President and founder of Armstrong Nurseries, who herself has aided in building this institution. Patent Applied For $1.50 each.

2 New Armstrong Roses for 1950
Fandango
The outstanding feature of this new rose, introduced this year for the first time, is its beautiful rich coloring. Rich deep scarlet in the bud, the flower changes as it opens to a bright cerise red, which remains attractive until the last petal drops. In all our experience, we have never seen a more brilliant shade than that displayed by the lustrous petals of this fine new rose. The bud is small to medium in size, short, but of perfect form. The bud opens rather quickly, but the large petals (16 to 25 of them) have a ruffled crisp appearance which makes the flower attractive at all stages. Mildly fragrant. The big, vigorous, glossy foliaged plant of Fandango does not stop blooming at any time during the season. If you count the blooms produced by each variety in your garden, we'll hazard a bet that this dazzling newcomer will out-produce every other Hybrid Tea. It no sooner finishes one burst of bloom than it is off on another. Because of its continued bloom and its fine foliage, you will find it to be one of the most attractive rose bushes in your garden. Of all the roses that we grow, this one comes into bloom earliest in the spring, which is another valuable characteristic. Like all roses, Fandango has its faults. The flower loses petalage and size during very hot weather. Originated in the Armstrong Research Dept. by H. C. Swim. Plant Pat. No. 894.

Hybrid Perpetual Varieties
Price 50¢ Each, $4.00 Per 10
Ten assorted Roses of any class sold at the ten rate.
This class of roses is very hardy with tall, vigorous bushes and large clean foliage.  The blooms are larger, fuller and sweeter than any other roses.  As a rule they bloom only in the spring, but during this season of the year they offer a greater show than any other class and the bushes are covered with the giant, fragrant flowers.
Most of these varieties do particularly well in Arizona and Imperal Valley, coming into bloom during the winter there. They are not injured by temperature extremes.

George Arends.  A very tall, vigorous plant, growing to 5 or 6 feet, with fine wavy foliage.  Long, delicately-shaped buds and deep petaled blooms of an exquisite soft pink.  Has its best blooms in the fall.

Lord Charlemont. Very large, beautifully formed, high-centered, crimson flowers on stout rigid stems. The plant is free in growth and bloom, and the flower is so magnificent and the color so superb that we consider it to be easily one of the best three or four red roses. See illustration in color on page 25.

New Roses from Down Under. It is with pleasure that we offer these new Australian Bush or Pillar Roses, two of them for the first time. They are unusual and lovely Roses, each of them. [...] Mrs. Philip Russell. A strong growing semi-climbing pillar Rose or large bush, with large, semi-double, deep fiery red flowers, shaded black and maroon, very lasting, and with a delicious spicy fragrance. It flowers throughout the season, and for a dark red climber of moderate growth, we highly recommend it. $1.00 each.
