Las Vegas (Pat. 1486) America's Most Fabulous Hybrid Tea Rose Symbolizing America's Most Fabulous City All the Warmth and Glow of a Desert Sunrise for the First Time Captured in a Rose The Las Vegas, Germain's 1957 rose introductio, is a radiant, warm, salmon-pink with a golden sheen at the base of each petal. The large, long, pointed buds open into high-centered blooms revealing the warm glowing color of the rose. As the blooms further develop, the petals cup and the spectacular color becomes more intense, giving an even deeper radiance to the flower. The blooms, measuring up to 6 inches across, are produced freely on exceptionally long cutting stems. Las Vegas is a truly long lasting cut flower, whose petals have a satiny lustre that imparts a depth and warmth to the bloom, such as that seen in a desert sunrise. The plants bearing these gorgeous flowers are vigorous and well branched. The foliage covers the plant well, with semi-glossy dark green leaves. $2.50 each, 3 for $6.60
