IN CALIFORNIA 139 



Marie Von Houtte was always given and is still 

 much in demand. Mrs. Aaron Ward, H. T., is a 

 strikingly handsome rose of an orange shade fading 

 to cream at the tips. Mrs. A. R. Waddell, another 

 late hybrid tea, has the most attractive apricot 

 shades of any rose grown. Perle des Jardins is an 

 old favorite tea of bright straw color but is seldom a 

 pronounced success in the southern end of the state. 

 The yellowest rose is a title that has been bestowed 

 upon Rayon d'Or, a comparative newcomer to Cali- 

 fornia but one that has well sustained its reputation 

 for color. Soliel d'Or, a hybrid briar, is a deep gold 

 shaded with pink, marvelous in color and showy in 

 the garden but not a rose for cutting. Sunburst, H. 

 T., is a rather new rose having a combination of 

 orange-yellow tinged with copper, shades now the 

 most popular. 



CLIMBING ROSES 

 WHITES 



Climbing Devoniensis, a creamy white tea rose, 

 tinged with blush, is more popular in the central and 

 northern parts of the state than in the south. Climb- 

 ing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria is but an ambitious 

 sport from the bush rose bearing the same name. 

 Climbing White Cochet is a new rose, tinted pink 

 outside, that has satisfied all who have grown it. 

 Mme. Alfred Carriere is an old-time noisette of 

 creamy white, a fairly good rose everywhere. The 

 White Banksia is nearly thornless, a rampant grower 

 that will stretch away up a tree for sixty feet, bear- 

 ing clusters of tiny, semi-double flowers. All who 

 know roses are familiar with the white Cherokee, 

 without which no garden is complete, its large single 

 blossoms being borne in profusion early in spring.
