stocks. The standard Briers out of the hedges are suitable. For 

 dwarfs (and these are grown far more extensively than standards) 

 stocks have to be raised from seeds or cuttings of Briers. The 

 Teas are not much grown on their own roots, but some of the 

 most vigorous varieties may be raised from cuttings in the same 

 way as H.P.'s. 



There is a general understanding that Teas should be pruned 

 less severely than H.P.'s, but in practice it will be found that the 

 same rule of pruning weak growers severely and strong growers 

 lightly may be adopted with advantage. 



The following are the principal varieties of Tea-scented Roses : 



*Anna Olivier, white, ivory, or buff, free- 

 flowering, vigorous, and in spite of 

 its variable colour, a really valuable 

 sort. 



Bridesmaid, a deep pink sport from Cathe- 

 rine Mermet. 



Caroline Kuster, lemon, vigorous. 



* Catherine Mermet, pink, a very free 

 bloomer. One of the best varieties 

 we have for garden and pot culture. 



Comtesse de Nadaillac, apricot, a charming 

 flower and popular with exhibitors, but 

 not vigorous. 



*Dr. Grill, rose, vigorous and free. 



*Francisca Krtiger, deep yellow, vigorous. 



Francois Dubreuil, crimson. 



*Hon. Edith Gifford, white, free-flowering, 

 vigorous, and generally one of the 

 best. 



Homlre, rose, exquisite bud, vigorous. 



Innocente Pirola, cream, vigorous. 



*Jean Ducher, salmon, vigorous and 

 distinct. 



Lady Roberts, apricot, vigorous and free- 

 flowering. 



Madame C. Guinoisseau, yellow, vigorous. 



Madame Cusin, deep rose, rich and distinct 

 colour. 



Madame de Watteville, cream, an exhibi- 

 tor's variety, somewhat delicate. 



* Madame Hoste, lemon, vigorous and free- 

 flowering. 



*Maman Cochet, flesh pink, deep flower, 

 vigorous and free-flowering. 



* Marie van Houtte, lemon, rose edge, 

 vigorous and free. 



Medea, pale yellow, vigorous. 



Mrs. Edward Mawley, carmine rose, beau- 

 tiful colour. 



Muriel Grahame, cream, a charming 

 variety, but not very vigorous. 



Niphetos, pure white, very deep, a lovely 

 sort, but only suitable for indoor 

 cultivation. There is a climbing 

 variety of it. These are two of the 

 most popular button-hole Roses grown. 



Souvenir dElise Vardon, cream, deep 

 flower of splendid shape, but more 

 of a show than a garden Rose. 



* 'Souvenir de J. B. Guillot, crimson, vigo- 

 rous and free. 



* Souvenir de Pierre Netting, apricot, very 

 vigorous, a most useful Rose of 

 distinct colour. 



* Souvenir de S. A. Prince, pure white, 

 vigorous, and a good garden as well 

 as show Rose. 



Souvenir dun Ami, bright rose, very 

 fragrant, good both for indoors and 

 out.
