92 THE ROSE BOOK 



Betty Berkeley. — An attractive red Tea rose without 

 much pretence to form of flower. But it is distinct and 

 showy, and helps the garden show. It is of free growth 

 and blooms well. 



Catherine Mermet. — A beautiful, finely formed rose of 

 flesh-pink colour. Practically useless in the open garden ; 

 a favourite for cultivation under glass. 



Comtesse de Nadaillac. — One of the loveliest of the 

 Tea roses, of apricot and rose shades, often grown by 

 exhibitors. It needs planting at the foot of a warm, 

 sunny wall, up which it will climb. It is a rose the 

 novice should avoid. 



Comtesse Festetics Hamilton. — A free-growing and 

 profuse flowering variety, with blooms of copper and 

 carmine shades. It lacks perfect form, but is one of 

 the best for garden display. It is much admired for its 

 rich colouring. 



Corallina. — An invaluable rose for the garden ; it is 

 one of the best autumnal-flowering roses. The blooms 

 are not of ideal shape, but they are most freely produced 

 and of distinct coral red colour. The plant is tender and 

 often suffers badly in hard winters. 



Dr. Grill. — A very old Tea rose, but vigorous and 

 excellent for garden display. The flowers, which are not 

 of exhibition form, are variable in colour, of copper and 

 rose shades. One of the parents of Madame Abel Chatenay. 



General Shablikine. — A free-flowering variety for the 

 garden, having salmon-red blooms, lacking in ideal form. 

 It grows freely, and makes a good display. 



G. Nabonnand. — An excellent Tea rose for the garden,
