OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



GORGEOUS; Hybrid Tea; Hugh Dickson, 1915. Deep orange 

 yellow, heavily veined with reddish copper. Unique and beautiful 

 color; fair form; hardy; has not shown enough merit to warrant its 

 inclusion in the lists and cannot yet be recommended except for 

 collectors. 



HADLEY; Hybrid Tea; Waban Conservatories, 1914. Bright red. 

 Growth only fair; foliage quite good. Color distinct; attractive 

 bloom in the spring; small bloom in summer. Needs time to become 

 established. Worthy of a further test. 



HOOSIER BEAUTY; Hybrid Tea; Dorner, 1915. Glowing crimson 

 with darker shadings. A remarkable color, but so far growth and 

 blooming qualities below the average. 



IMOGEN; Hybrid Tea; Paul & Son, 1915. Orange yellow in 

 center, shading towards the outside to pale yellow and creamy 

 white. Very attractive yellow rose; beautiful form; doing fairly 

 well for the first year, although cannot yet be considered more than 

 a collector's rose. 



Los ANGELES; Hybrid Tea; Howard & Smith, 1916. Flame 

 pink shaded to yellow, toned with salmon. A cross between Madame 

 Segond Weber and Lyon, the color being much on the order of 

 Lyon. Undoubtedly most promising, but not yet thoroughly 

 tested. Mr. McFarland, of Harrisburg, reports that it gives splendid 

 growth outside and good bloom. Mr. Eisele, of Dreer's, is most 

 enthusiastic about this rose, and considers it a particularly fine 

 bedding variety. 



MADAME COLETTE MARTINET; Hybrid Tea; Pernet-Ducher, 

 1915. Beautiful old gold yellow, shaded with orange yellow, golden 

 yellow bud. A case in point of the danger of recommending a new 

 rose considered promising in 1915 on account of its most attractive 

 color, good foliage and fair growth. Has not improved during the 

 past season and can only be considered as a collector's rose. 



MADAME MARCEL DELANNEY; Hybrid Tea; Leenders, 1916. 

 Pale pink or soft rose, shaded with hydrangea pink. A rose planted 

 in January, 1916. which has shown good growth, very good foliage 

 fine long stems, beautiful color and good perfume. Not a profuse 

 bloomer, but has done remarkably well for the short time tested. 

 Undoubtedly a wonderful rose for cut blooms, and a possibility of 

 its being a good all-round rose. 



MARCELLA; Hybrid Tea; Paul & Son, 1913. Buds buff, opening 

 flower salmon flesh. A wonderful bloom when you get it. Of most 

 attractive coloring, but of extremely poor growth and useful only 

 to collectors. 



MELANIE NIEDIECK; Hybrid Tea; Leenders, 1916. Vivid lemon 

 yellow. Showing really remarkable growth for the first year. Re- 

 ported by Bobbink & Atkins, of Rutherford, N. J., to be one of the 

 best new roses on the Multiflora with them. Good foliage which 

 holds well. The bloom is medium, of attractive color in the bud, 

 which, however, is not of the best form, and the color fades quickly. 

 A good bloomer, and while having a good stem, will never be one 

 of the best cut flowers as it does not last.
