nice smooth petal, and should prove very useful to 
the exhibitor. Colour carmine rose, very strongly 
perfumed. A good grower. 
Earl of Warwick (Wm. Paul & Son, 1904).—This 
Rose has taken some time to become generally 
known, but it is now recognised as a sterling variety, 
and was frequently exhibited in 1909, gaining the 
two silver medals as the best bloom in the Hybrid 
Tea classes in both the Amateur and Trade Section 
at the National Rose Society’s Autumn Show in that 
year. The colour is not easily described, being 
variable, but is generally of a soft salmon flesh pink, 
with a deeper centre. The flowers are of good shape, 
and are freely produced—at its best on standards— 
showing a certain amount of Tea blood in its veins. 
A fair grower, not particularly subject to mildew; 
perhaps at its best in autumn. Altogether one of 
the best exhibition Roses this well-known firm have 
produced.

Florence Pemberton (A. Dickson & Sons, 1903).— 
This is a good all round Rose, an excellent grower 
and one that in an ordinary season may be relied on 
to produce large flowers of good quality. Its petals 
are slightly tissuey in texture and are somewhat im- 
patient of wet—but it is one of those Roses that 
have improved very much since introduced and is 
quite first rate in every way.
