Arrillaga. H. P. I.(1929) This is a giant among pink roses, with Mrs. John Laing and Frau. K. Druschki in its parentage. Bears in great, all-season profusion, fat buds, singly on long stems...so "fat" in bad weather, they have difficulty in opening to perfection. Not recommended for the seashore--elsewhere hard to beat. Plant with the white Everest and you will have "a pair of aces to draw to".

"Last spring, thanks to your catalog suggestion, I pegged down the long canes of my Arrillaga, --result: dozens of plate-size, pulchritudinous shining, pink blooms, --many six inches across on stems fully a foot long. " --St. Clair Garwood, Xenia, Ohio $1.75

Novelties and Scarce Roses
Arrilaga. Hybrid Perpetual. (Father Schoener, introduced by Bobbink & Atkins, 1929.) Large, glowing pink buds and gigantic flowers of vivid pink with a light golden glow at the base of the petals; very fragrant and lasting. Stems are long, stout, and the plant blooms with great abundance in summer and lightly in autumn. Foliage very handsome and healthy. Illustrated on frontispiece.
The color of the flower is unique in Hybrid Perpetuals, having something of the gold undertone seen in the Hybrid Tea Willowmere. The only other Hybrid Perpetual which approaches it in this respect is the rather new Souvenir de Mme. H. Theuret.
It has been a good many years since this Rose came to us from the Reverend George M. Schoener, of Santa Barbara, California. We watched it closely all that time, because there was little use to put a new pink Hybrid Perpetual on the market unless it had exceptional merit. The size of the flowers, the perfume, and the profusion with which they are produced convince us that it is distinctly worth having.
Of Father Schoener’s work we do not have space to speak. He began nearly forty years ago at Brooks, Ore., where the results of years of tireless, patient work, his home, garden, seeds and seedlings, and his records were destroyed by fire. Removing to Santa Barbara, he began again, using the rare species and special forms, endeavoring to introduce new characters into his seedlings. Arrillaga is a product of the Provence Rose X Mrs. John Laing X Frau Karl Druschki, but in all respects is an exceptionally vigorous Hybrid Perpetual.
A reliable fall-blooming Hybrid Perpetual.
