268 THE BOOK OP THE ROSE chap. 



is free-flowering and a good autumnal, and the 

 blooms are very large and well formed, but nearly 

 scentless. A rose held in high estimation by 

 exhibitors, and worthy of a name more suitable 

 to British tongues and pencils. Bosslyn (A. Dickson 

 & Sons, 1900) is a lighter coloured sport of this 

 variety, and Marie Corelll (Prince, 1901), perhaps 

 the better of the two, is another. 



Thomas Mills (E. Verdier, 1873).— Eliminated by 

 the editors of this edition. 



Tom Wood (A. Dickson & Sons, 1896).— A fairly 

 useful Rose, of vigorous hardy growth, with good 

 foliage, not much liable to mildew. The blooms 

 are well-shaped and seldom deformed, of average 

 size and with stout petals, but the colour is rather 

 a dull shade of red. It is a good autumnal, and the 

 plants have a good constitution, growing and doing 

 well where others fail. 



Ulrich Bninner (Levet, 1881). — A seedling from 

 Paul Neyron, of very stout stiff growth and fohage 

 untouched by mildew. The blooms come well, of 

 extra large size, with stout petals generally tightly 

 incurved in the centre, fine regular smooth shape as 

 a rule, and capital lasting qualities, not much 

 injured by rain, though the colour soon fades. A 

 great Rose in many ways, one of the best, of the 

 red H.P.s: free blooming and capital in the autumn, 

 hardy and of strong constitution and does well 

 almost anywhere and on all stocks. When asked to 

 I'cjcommend three good hardy standards for cottage 

 gaiden.s, I suggested La France, Mrs. John Laing, 

 and Ulrich Brunner, as likely to give satisfaction. 



Ulster (A. Dickson & Sons, 1899).— This is just 

 one of the Roses for which this chapter is needed.
