Ward, crimson, is also good — though the blooms are not very 

 shapely. Colonel O. Fitzgerald is another excellent red- 

 crimson rose. One of the finest of the new pink roses is 

 C. E. Shea ; the plant is of vigorous growth, the blooms are 

 well formed and freely produced. For a light red rose there 

 are few better than Comte G. de Rochmur ; though this can 

 scarcely be classed as new, it does not appear to be well 

 known. Donald McDonald, described by catalogues as 

 orange-carmine, is a pretty red rose ; the blooms are rather 

 small, shapely and free. A variety of rich and distinct 

 colour, bright cerise, is Mrs. Bertram J. Walker ; although 

 not very free-flowering it is worth growing. Henrietta, of 

 salmon-orange shade, is a vigorous rose that blooms pro- 

 fusely : the blooms are thin, it is true, but they are valuable 

 for garden display. Cherry Page, rose-pink; Red Letter 

 Day, crimson; Madame Caristie Martel, sulphur-yellow; 

 Countess of Warwick, lemon-yellow with pink edge ; 

 Nellie Parker, cream-white; and Margaret Dickson Hamill, 

 straw-yellow, are others to be recommended of the new 

 Hybrid Tea roses. 



Tea. — There is no striking novelty to record among Tea 

 roses : practically all the new roses are of the Hybrid Tea 

 or the Pernetiana class. Three comparatively new varieties 

 worthy of mention are Mrs. S. T. Wright, old gold ; Little 

 Dorrit, copper-rose; and Lady Plymouth, cream. The best 

 Tea roses for the garden are still Mrs. Herbert Stevens, 

 white ; W. R. Smith, cream-white with pink shading ; Papa 

 Gontier, rose-crimson ; Madame Hoste, cream ; Mme. An- 

 toine Mari, cream and rose-pink ; Lady Roberts, apricot- 

 yellow ; Hugo Roller, lemon tipped with crimson ; Harry 

 Kirk, sulphur-yellow ; G. Nabonnand, pale rose-yellow ; 

 Anna Olivier, rose and buff ; and A. Hill Gray, lemon-yellow. 



Pernetiana. — This modern group contains many roses of 

 brilliant colouring, of which the chief varieties have been 

 described in the chapter devoted to them. There are now 

 some glorious yellow roses in commerce, and in colouring
