The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mabch 24, 1910. 



to the early part of the century — about 

 1810 a little rose from China made its 

 appearance in England. It was known 

 as the blush tea-scented. In 1824 an- 

 other similar rose appeared in the same 

 country, and this, on account of its color, 

 was known as the yellow tea-scented. 

 These two visitors did not seem to take 

 kindly to the bleaker climate of old Eng- 

 land, and it was not until they were 

 transported to sunny France that they 

 developed really what was in them. From 

 these two has arisen the group of tea- 

 scented roses. It was about 1830 that 

 these deliciously scented roses came into 

 notice. Gloire de Dijon owes its origin 

 here, but probably with an admixture of 

 the Bourbon rose or some other hardy 

 sort, for this newcomer was unusual 

 among the tea-scented roses in being 

 hardy. 



The Hybrid Teas. 



Next upon the scene was the hybrid 

 tea, whose recognition as a distinct class 

 was made about 1890. These were pro- 

 duced by crossing the hybrid perpetual 

 and the tea-scented. They have been in- 

 creasing rapidly and now number many 

 among their ranks. The first hybrid tea 

 is said to have been raised by Paul & 

 Son, of Cheshunt, in 1873, and sent out 

 as Cheshunt Hybrid. At first the full 

 meaning of these new hybrids was not 

 realized; it was not until some years 

 after their first appearance that it 

 dawned upon the people that there was a 

 new race of roses destined to make start- 

 ling changes. La France, at one time one 

 of the most popular roses, belongs here, 

 although sent out first as a hybrid per- 

 petual. 



We have now brought the rose up to 

 our own times, the history of which is 

 known to you all. Perhaps it is better 

 not to call these present times history, 

 and so I can leave the chronicle of our 

 present roses for others. We can see 

 the marvels of recent production beauti- 

 fully represented in the fine exhibits 

 made at the exhibition now in progress. 

 Here we have the best examples of the 

 cultivator's art. With My Maryland, 

 Killarney, White Killarney, Kichmond 

 and many others, it would seem that the 

 possibilities along the line of hybrid teas 

 must be exhausted, but we thought this 

 ten years ago, and were mistaken. What 

 will the next ten years bring to us? 



There are many popular flowers, but 

 what one other than the rose can awaken 

 that keen delight, can recall those pleas- 

 ant memories of childhood when we vis- 

 ited grandmother and reveled in her rose 

 garden? The rose has its great hold 

 upon us because it touches us closely at 

 80 many points. We can have it indoors 

 or out, summer or winter, and it is al- 

 ways just 



"A rose for erery hobe, 

 A bush for every garden."
