THE WICHURATANA HYBRIDS 69 



copper red. It is a free bloomer, flowering from 

 mid-June and also in Autumn. 



Robert Craig. A large yellow Rose, with a rather flat 

 flower, very double, pale yellow with an orange 

 centre. Its buds are of a darker orange, borne in 

 small trusses. 



Rubra. A single Rose, rosy crimson with a white 

 centre and striking stamens. The trusses are of 

 fair size and the flowers appear in late June. 



Ruby Queen. This is a curious Rose, as its blooms do 

 not vary in colour according to their state of 

 development, but according to the season. For 

 instance, in the early part of the season, in June, 

 its flowers are very vivid carmine scarlet with a 

 white centre, whilst in July and later they are 

 blush white, shaded to carmine at the edges. Its 

 flowers are double and loose, borne in a small truss. 

 A beautiful and striking Rose. 



Schneeball. A beautiful pure white Rose, with very 

 double rosette-like flowers borne in large trusses, 

 which do not all open at once. It flowers from 

 mid- June.

 as it keeps its colour well when open, and does not 

 fade as most of the yellows will do. It is a deep 

 rich colour, and a very free bloomer, with double 

 flowers, appearing from mid-June. 



Snowdrift. A good white, very vigorous in growth. 



Sweetheart. This is one of the sweetly-scented Roses, 

 flowering from mid-July and in Autumn. It has 

 small double pale pink flowers, changing to blush 

 white, borne in a large truss. A very pretty Rose. 



The Farquhar. This is an Evergreen, much like Dorothy 

 Perkins, but with more white in its centre. It 

 flowers from mid-July and also in Autumn. 



Tricolore. This Rose is very striking but not really
