268 THE BOOK OF THE ROSE CHAP. 
is free-flowering and a good autumnal, and the 
blooms are very large and well formed, but nearly 
scentless. A rose held in high estimation by 
exhibitors, and worthy of a name more suitable 
to British tonguesand pencils. Rosslyn (A. Dickson 
& Sons, 1900) is a lighter coloured sport of this 
variety, and Marie Corelli (Prince, 1901), perhaps 
the better of the two, is another. 
Thomas Mills (K. Verdier, 1873).—Eliminated by 
the editors of this edition. 
Tom Wood (A. Dickson & Sons, 1896).—A fairly 
useful Rose, of vigorous hardy growth, with good 
foliage, not much hable to mildew. The blooms 
are well-shaped and seldom deformed, of average 
size and with stout petals, but the colour is rather 
a dull shade of red. It is a good autumnal, and the 
plants have a good constitution, growing and doing 
well where others fail. 
Ulrich Brunner (Lievet, 1881).—A seedling from 
Paul Neyron, of very stout stiff growth and foliage 
untouched by mildew. The blooms come well, of 
extra large size, with stout petals generally tightly 
incurved in the centre, fine regular smooth shape as 
a rule, and capital lasting qualities, not much 
injured by rain, though the colour soon fades. A 
great Rose in many ways, one of the best, of the 
red H.P.s: free blooming and capital in the autumn, 
hardy and of strong constitution and does well 
almost anywhere and on all stocks. When asked to 
recommend three good hardy standards for cottage 
vardens, I suggested La France, Mrs. John Laing, 
and Ulrich Brunner, as likely to give satisfaction. 
Ulster (A. Dickson & Sons, 1899).—This is just 
one of the Roses for which this chapter is needed.
