NEW SEEDLING HYBRID TEA ROSE 



Countess of Gosford 



Awarded the Gold Medal of the 

 National Rose Society, 1905 



This magnificent rose is deatined to take a leading place among rosea, both 

 aa an exhibition variety aa well aa for garden decoration and pot culture. It ia 



A Fine, Strong Grower, with a Free Branciiing Habit 



arid Fine, Boid Foliage 



As a profuse blooming variety it is unsurpassed among hybrid teas ; its flowers have 

 wonderful lasting properties, retaining both their color and shape for several days. Its 

 color is distinct and unique among roses, and most difficult to describe, being a distinct 

 salmon-pink — rose and pink, running into each other, the base of petals sufifused saffron- 

 yellow, and the whole bloom shaded salmon, making a 



Flower of Wonderful Brightness and Charm 



and a color that never fades until the petals drop. The blooms are of perfect form, large, 

 full, very long and pointed ; petals large and of great depth and substance. A telling 

 exhibition flower (after the style and form of Killamey), but quite distinct in color; it 

 is the most refined and beautiful rose of this type. For florists and cut flower work 

 generally, on account of the marvelous freedom with which it blooms, and its fascinat- 

 ing color, it is certain to be in great demand. We recommend this rose with every 

 confidence to all rose growers.
