nice smooth petal, and should prove very useful to 

 the exhibitor. Colour carmine rose, very strongly 

 perfumed. A good grower. 



Earl of Warwick (Wm. Paul & Son, 1904).— This 

 Eose has taken some time to become generally 

 knowrn, but it is now recognised as a sterling variety, 

 and was frequently exhibited in 1909, gaining the 

 two silver medals as the best bloom in the Hybrid 

 Tea classes in both the Amateur and Trade Section 

 at the National Eose Society's Autumn Show in that 

 year. The colour is not easily described, being 

 variable, but is generally of a soft salmon flesh pink, 

 with a deeper centre. The flowers are of good shape, 

 and are freely produced — at its best on standards — 

 showing a certain amount of Tea blood in its veins. 

 A fair grower, not particularly subject to mildew ; 

 perhaps at its best in autumn. Altogether one of 

 the best exhibition Eoses this well-known firm have 

 produced.

 This is a good all round Eose, an excellent grower 

 and one that in an ordinary season may be relied on 

 to produce large flowers of good quality. Its petals 

 are slightly tissuey in texture and are somewhat im- 

 patient of wet — but it is one of those Eoses that 

 have improved very much since introduced and is 

 quite first rate in every way.
