BRITISH OPINION OF NEW ROSES. 

 British flower lovers are to be con- 

 gratulated on the fact that no odious 

 quarantine prevents their enjoyment 

 of new roses which originated in 

 America. In an article in the Horticul- 

 tural Trade Journal summing up opin- 

 ion on the new varieties, several 

 American roses are described very 

 favorably. A few of the comments 

 on the new roses are as follows: 



Los Angeles will be one of our finest 

 garden roses. Its habit is absolutely 

 perfect, growing about 2 l / 2 to 3 feet 

 and is extra free-flowering. Its color 

 is similar to Lyon at its best with 

 deeper shadings of Mme. E. Herriot. 

 Its flower stalk is rigid (a great point) 

 and petals reflex reminding one of a 

 Lyon-colored Chatenay. Tea scented. 

 Mrs. Henry Winnett. This is an- 

 other of our best roses from our 

 friends over the sea, and of great 

 promise. It is a seedling from Mrs. 

 Charles Russell and Shawyer but a 

 rich crimson-red and a delicious scent. 

 Shape perfect and of good size; habit 

 of growth also is just what I like to 

 see in a true H. T. Will be largely 

 sought after in future. 



Premier is a coming thing of the 

 Russell colorings and scent but of 

 stronger growth, slightly subject to 

 mildew but this can be remedied as 

 roses of this type are wanted. 



Columbia, a beautiful rose of the 

 habit of Ophelia but with the absence 

 of its orange tints and pink more pro- 

 nounced. A rose that will be planted 

 by the thousand when properly known 

 and grown. Scented very strongly, old 

 rose. 



Ophelia Supreme, its name at once 

 gives this rose a prominence over its 

 parent, and to my mind is deserving of 

 a place in everyone's garden. The habit 

 of plant is identical with its parent, 

 but the flower is even more beautiful 

 than Ophelia and is larger.
