stone; semi-climbing in habit. Vigorous grower; bud very long and 

 pointed. Thin only; don't cut back. 



MADAME WAGRAM COMTESSE DE TOURENNE (T*.). Satiny rose 

 shaded flesh pink. Of marked beauty and vigorous, semi-climbing 

 habit. Blooms very large. Very good on a low trellis. 



*MAMAN COCHET (T.). Pink. Most profuse blooming, and the hardiest 

 of all the teas. Best formed bud of any rose. Growth spreading 

 and rather low. Free flowering. Excellent for cutting. Prune 

 sparingly. There is a white form which is tinged with yellow and 

 pink; equally as good as the pink. 



MARIE VAN HOUTTE (T.). Canary yellow; external petals and borders 

 pencilled with bright rose. Free and continuous bloomer. Hardier 

 than most teas. Growth vigorous. Prune sparingly. 



NABONNAND (T.). Also known as GEORGE NABONNAND. Tender 

 pink, shaded yellow. Blooms mostly singly. First rate, especially 

 in autumn. Prune lightly. 



REICHSGRAF VON KESSELSTADT (T.). White, distinctly edged and 

 pencilled with bright pink. Medium size. Especially effective in 

 autumn, as the growth is thin earlier in the season. Protect care- 

 fully. Growth moderate. Prune well. 



SOUVENIR DE CATHERINE GUILLOT (T.). Orange-red, tinted carmine. 

 One of the most striking flowers in appearance and colour. Flor- 

 iferous, but thin, and not absolutely trustworthy in winter. 



SOUVENIR DE PIERRE NOTTING (T.). Apricot yellow, mingled with 

 golden yellow. A cross between Marechal Niel and Maman 

 Cochet. A fairly vigorous grower. Prune moderately. 



WHITE MAMAN COCHET (T.). A sport from Maman Cochet, which 

 it resembles except in colour. (See above.) 



THE HYBRID TEAS 



These are the mainstay and delight of the American rose amateur. A combination of 

 the Hybrid Perpetuals and the Teas, they present the hardiness and colours of the one (to 

 a large degree), and the beauty of flower and continuous blooming quality of the other. 

 New varieties are continually being added, and any selection of varieties is likely to be 

 largely superseded in a few years. As a group they will grow and flower without any 

 special pruning. Attention need be given to the necessities of the individual case only. 



ADMIRAL DEWEY (H. T.). Silvery pink. A sport from Caroline Testout. 

 AMATEUR TEYSSIER (H. T.). Creamy white in the early season, light
