WICHURAIANA HYBRID ROSES, continued 



Pink Roamer. This is a hybrid between Wichuraiana and the Sweetbriar, 

 whose characteristics are shown in the fragrant single flowers of rich pink, with 

 almost white centers and orange-red stamens. The blooms are about 2 inches 

 in diameter and produced in close heads, and the foliage is luxuriant. (See 

 plate on page 122.) 



South Orange Perfection. This variety grows closer to the ground than 

 the others. The double flowers are soft blush-pink at the tips, changing to 

 white. 



Universal Favorite. A very vigorous variety. The strong shoots are 

 densely covered with bright green foliage ; the fragrant double flowers, over 

 2 inches in diameter and of a soft rose color, are borne in profusion. 



DICKSON'S WICHURAIANA HYBRIDS 



Irish Beauty. Color pure white, with distinct and prominent bright 

 golden anthers, which contrast perfectly with the color of the petals ; flowers 

 very large, often measuring 5 inches across, borne in clusters ; very free-flow- 

 ering and deliciously fragrant. Unquestionably the finest single Rose yet 

 raised. A great acquisition. 



Irish Glory. A most striking flower of immense size, produced in large 

 clusters, the excessive venation rendering the color into a lovely marbled, sil- 

 very pink on the inside of the petals, making it contrast with the golden 

 anthers, a combination beyond description ; and, being flamed on back of petals 

 with crimson, is a real gem in every sense of the word ; sweetly and strongly 

 perfumed, and a splendid grower. 



Irish Modesty. A very beautiful variety; color an exquisitely delicate 

 coral-pink suffused from base of petals with ecru ; its delicate straw-colored 

 anthers make a charming tout ensemble ; the blooms are large and very plenti- 

 fully produced.
