Gardeners' Magazine advises its readers 

 that "those who appreciate roses that 

 grow freely and bloom profusely from 

 early in the summer to the close of the 

 autumn should buy and plant Lady 

 Meriel Bathurst." It has a vigorous 

 habit, is profuse in blooming and the 

 flowers are of medium size and elegant 

 in form, and the color is a delightful 

 combination of soft yellow, flesh color 

 and rose. 



In one of the collections exhibited by 

 Frank Cant & Co., Braiswick, Colchester, 



occurred a beautiful vase of Mme. Me- 

 laine Soupert. This belongs to the hy- 

 brid tea section and was raised by Per- 

 net-Ducher and distributed in 1905. In 

 one of the continental catalogues the 

 color is described as sunset yellow on 

 a carmine ground. Probably rich sal- 

 mon-yellow, tinted with carmine and 

 rose, would be a more correct descrip- 

 tion. Earlier in the season the flowers 

 attain to a large size, and full, but 

 whether large or small they are of great 

 beauty. Not less remarkable for its 



distinctness and beauty is Bertha Kle- 

 land, a charming tea-scented variety, 

 which was exhibited by B. R. Cant & 

 Sons, Colchester, introduced last year, 

 it has given excellent promise as a gar- 

 den rose, being robust in growth, free ii. 

 bloom and pleasing in color. The flowers 

 are large and semi-double. The color is 

 salmon-pink suffused light yellow. The 

 variety is effective in the garden and 

 blooms from the beginning of the sum- 

 mer until late in the autumn. These 

 wore the best of the novelties.
