THE ROSE 43 



have had something to do with the great popularity 

 of this superb rose, as for some years I kept practi- 

 cally the whole supply of best quality cut flowers 

 entirely in my own hands, and as this created a 

 demand from other sources more and more were 

 grown until every florist can now be supplied. It 

 is far the best market rose in cultivation. 

 *Betty. A coppery peach colour with golden enrichment. 

 In my opinion one of the most beautiful roses in 

 the world. 



p*Lyon Rose. I predict a great future for this lovely rose. 

 Its colour changes with every stage of its develop- 

 ment. As a bud it is a deep bronze, and as it 

 opens the colours baffle description. 



Y* Liberty. \ The two best red roses for pot-culture, as with 



p* Richmond.} good management they will crop for nine 

 months in the year. 



p*La France. When at its best this is still, in my' opinion, 



the best H. T. 



*Mme. Ravary. Pale orange yellow. A great favourite for 

 table decoration. 



p*Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A fine rose both in and out 



of doors. Creamy white. 

 *Mme. Melanie Soupert. A great florist's rose, and a most 



fascinating colour. 

 *Edu Meyer. Rosy red shaded copper. 



^Caroline Testout. Although not a good shape, this flower, 

 owing to its grand habit, is well worth a place in every 

 garden. 



p*1Vhite Killarney. This has to be a fine rose to do all that 

 is promised of it. I think it is too thin to become 

 very popular. 



?*Lady Ashtown. One of the best all-round roses in existence.
