XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 271 
by the fact that the large majority of new Roses 
belong to this division; nor is this to be 
wondered at when we consider that we have here 
the hardiness against frost of the H.P.s combined 
with the true perpetual character of the Teas, with 
a gain if anything in size and beauty of shape. As 
a rule, the Hybrid Teas should be pruned fairly 
closely. They withstand a hot, dry climate or 
summer much better than the H.P.s, and are not so 
exacting in the matter of soil requirements. 
Alice Grahame (A. Dickson & Sons, 1903).—Eli- 
minated by the editors of this edition. 
Alice Lindsell (A. Dickson & Sons, 1902).—It is 
of fair growth and habit, and the blooms are unique 
in shape, being truly globular with yet a decided 
point in the centre. Unfortunately the colour is 
not very distinct, but the young flowers have colour 
in them, which fades, however, in the older flowers 
to nearly white.—Gold Medal, N.R.5. 
Antoine Rivoire (Pernet-Ducher, 1895).—This is 
no longer considered an exhibition variety. Eli- 
minated by the editors of this edition. 
Apotheker G. Hofer (N. Welter, 1900).—Elimin- 
ated by the editors of this edition. 
Augustine Guinoisseaw (Guinoisseau, 1889).—A 
whitish sport from La France, of similar manners 
and customs, except that the flowers are very inferior 
in size, colour, and shape. No good for exhibition. 
Avoca (A. Dickson & Sons, Ltd., 1907).—A 
beautiful shaped flower, of medium size, only useful 
for the late shows, as it is produced on the ends of 
long shoots which take time to grow. | Colour 
crimson scarlet. Awarded Gold Medal N.R.S. Not 
very free flowering. Fragrant.
