Madame Abel CJiatenay (H.T.) A highly 

 popular flower. Colour salmon -pink, buds 

 long and shapely. Flowers freely throughout 

 the season. 



Antoine Rivoire (H.T.). A pale coloured 

 Rose, sometimes described as cream, and 

 sometimes as flesh or rose with yellow 

 shade. The blossoms are large, though 

 somewhat flat. 



La Tosca (H.T.). Blush-white, very free ; 

 grows like a weed. Flowers produced in 

 sprays or clusters. Must bo disbudded if 

 large blossoms are desired. 



<//;<.<* an Teplitz (H.T.). The bloom is 

 crimson, not very large, and only half full. 

 The flower stem is thin and weak, but the 

 flowers are produced with the greatest 

 freedom, and the scent is delicious. Xeeds 

 practically no pruning; only cut out dead and 

 overcrowded wood. An indispensable Rose. 



M. Joseph Hill (H.T.). Another salmon- 

 pink. A good garden Rose ; does not grow 

 tall. Blossoms on and off the season through. 



Flowers are graceful in form and sweet 

 scented. 



Madame Melanie Soupert (H.T.). Colour a 

 pale shade of yellow, flushed pink or carmine. 

 One of the most beautiful Roses grown ; 

 most elegant in shape, but the flowers are 

 not very freely produced. 



Lyons (Pernetiana). Coral-red, yellow, 

 etc., but varies. Globular, full and fragrant. 



Juliet (Pernetiana). Singular, I might 

 say unique, in colour, and one of the most 

 sweetly scented Roses grown. Outside petals 

 old gold, inside pink. The plant grows tall, 

 and the flowers do not mix well with others. 

 Best grown alone as a pillar. Summer 

 blooming. 



Hugh Dickson (H.P.). A grand Rose, 

 crimson in colour, full and extremely fra- 

 grant. Flowers with the greatest freedom 

 throughout the whole season. Does best 

 when grown as a pillar from 6 to 8 feet high, 

 hence it is hardly suitable for a very small 

 garden. 



Blooms of Rose Madame Hoste (Tea), of cream-yellow colouring, a good variety for the garden.
