and though the advance in colour is slight it is a 
better grower than the type. 
Killarney (A. Dickson & Sons, 1898).—Sent out, 
I believe, by Messrs. Dickson as a garden Rose, this 
variety has proved itself to be, except in very hot 
weather, a show Rose of great merit. It is a good 
srower, flowering freely in summer and autumn. 
The blooms are very large, of quite first-class 
pointed shape, and the colour a lovely shade of pale 
pink. The petals are long and stout, but there are 
not enough of them, the centre being badly filled. 
As long as it holds its half-open shape, which with 
ordinary precautions it will do very fairly under 
general conditions, it is as fine a show Rose as one 
would wish to see, the great petals standing up 
stiffly around the centre point; but when the point 
goes the Rose is gone too, though as the colour is 
lasting it is still a decorative flower. For show 
purposes it should be liberally treated and grown as 
a Standard. Subject to mildew. 
Konigin Carola (Turke, 1904)—This Rose has 
been rather a long time obtaining recognition. It is 
a seedling, with Caroline Testout as one of its 
parents, and it much resembles that fine Rose in 
colour and habit of growth, but is a distinctly better 
shape, having a well-developed point. Its great 
fault is that sooner or later the blooms reveal a 
split. Still it is worth growing in a large col- 
lection, but it is not recommended to the small 
amateur. 
Lady Alice Stanley (S. McGredy & Son, 1909).— 
A very promising new exhibition variety. The 
growth is vigorous and the flowers large and of good 
shape and distinct colour.
