4 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 
THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES 
We here offer what is good in the New Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you must try 
these New Roses. They are the best that England, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Holland 
and America can produce. 
BRITISH QUEEN—(McGredy, 1912.) We quote the introduc- 
er’s description: ‘‘Experts who have seen British Queen 
growing, agree that it is the finest white Rose in existence, 
surpassing in beauty and elegance of form all other white va- 
rieties. The freedom with which it blooms is remarkable. It 
is in flower from June until winter, and on well cultivated plants 
the blooms are a model of perfection. The type of flower is 
between White Maman Cochet and Frau Karl Druschki, with 
Tea Rose form and refinement; frequently in the bud state it 
shows a slight flush; this disappears as the flower opens into 
purest whiteness. It is a good grower and sweetly scented. 
Awarded a gold medal by the National Rose Society of Eng- 
land. Those who have had the pleasure to see this magnifi- 
cent Rose blooming at Portadown will never forget the sight. 
30 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. 
CANADIAN QUEEN—(Dale, 1912.) This is a great forcing 
Rose; resembles very much in growth, habit and flower the old 
Madame Cusin; a beautiful shade of bright pink, with long 
pane A decided beauty. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 
cents. 
CHATEAU DES CLOS VOUGEAT—(Pernet Ducher, 1908.) 
Words are inadequate to describe, and pigments are not.made 
which could reproduce the wonderful coloring and texture of 
of this truly remarkable Rose. You have all been looking for 
the black Rose, and here it is. The most wonderful color and 
texture ever seen in a Rose; looks as if cut out of heavy 
velvet with a color shading from deepest velvety maroon-red 
to blackish-crimson. We are sure it will become one of the 
most popular of garden Roses, quite in a class by itself, bloom- 
ing continuously in crops closely following one another. It is 
of fine shape, good size and the richest colored of all Roses, 
being fifty per cent. darker than Prince Camille de Rohan and 
Jubilee; quite fragrant. With us the foliage of this Rose is 
absolutely resistant to black spot and mildew; in a class by 
itself for this reason alone. Keep your eye on this Rose, as it 
is a wonder; named after a vintage of famous old French wine. 
25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
CHILD’S SPECFACULAR—(Elliott, 1912.) This is a sport 
from Killarney, and might well be named ‘Striped Killar- 
ney.” A glorious, sparkling pink, widely striped, blotched 
and variegated with pure white. Buds exceedingly large, 
a 
FARBENKONIGIN (Queen of Colors). 
with wide petals and long pointed shape like Tulips. In fact, 
the buds are so very large they have often been taken for Tu- 
Ups. A “Spectacular” Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 
cents. 
COMTESSE FELICIE HOYOS—(Soupert & Notting, 1912.) 
Very clear salmon-yellow, with center of rosy-copper, overlaid 
with vivid carmine. In the style of ‘“‘Prince de Bulgarie,” 
but more vigorous and with larger flowers. A grand Rose. 25 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
COUNTESS OF SHAFTESBURY—(Hugh Dickson, 1911.) 
This splendid Rose is the most perfect type of Hybrid Tea. 
Its large and perfectly formed flowers are produced in end- 
less profusion. In color it is bright silvery-carmine, flushed 
pale shell-pink at the edges of the petals, giving a delight- 
ful picotee effect; the color at the base of the petals deepens 
with age to light cochineal-carmine. Fine for massing in beds. 
Awarded the gold medal by the National Rose Society. 
25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
CRIMSON CROWN—(Alex Dickson, 1905.) Brilliant, glowing 
dark crimson. Lemon-white at base of the petals. Flowers 
borne in clusters and in the greatest profusion. A fine bedder. 
25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 
DORA—(W. Paul, 1906.) Large full flowers of a beautiful peach 
blossom color, with deeper center, changing to silvery-blush as 
the flowers expand. Very free flowering. A glorious Rose. 
Try it. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 
DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY—(Scott, 1910.) The Killarney 
that will supersede the Killarney now grown. We have con- 
fidence in recommending this variety as a distinct improvement 
on the normal type, as it possesses from ten to twelve more 
petals than its parent. Awarded certificate of merit by the 
American Rose Society. 20 cents; 2=year plants, 50 cents. 
EARL OF GOSFORD—(McGredy, 1912.) Color dark crimson, 
heavily shaded after the style of Jubilee. A fine, strong grower; 
a Rose that will do particularly well in adverse climates; very 
fragrant and destined to become a very popular Rose. 50 cents; 
2-year plants $1.00. 
ECARLATE—(Boytard, 1907.) This is not one of the newest 
varieties, but we intend to hammer the good qualities of this 
Rose until we compel attention. It’s a better grower than 
“Etoile de France,” is a darker color than “‘Liberty’’ and more 
fragrant than ‘‘La France.’’ What more do you want us to 
say about it. ‘‘Ecarlate’”’ is without question the finest red 
bedding Rose to date, and the longer you put off making its 
acquaintance the more you will miss. 25 cents; 2=year plants, 
50 cents. 
EDWARD MAWLEY—(McGredy, 1912.) Raiser’s description: 
“By its marvelous outstanding qualities, is now generally re- 
garded by rosarians as the greatest advance and most wonder- 
ful Rose yet raised. We have no hesitation in stating that it 
is the finest of all dark crimson Roses, a true perpetual flower— 
ing Hybrid Tea, and the most beautiful variety the Rose world 
has yet seen. Gold Medal, National Rose Society. The grand 
novelty of Messrs. McGredy & Sons, they have very aptly 
named Edward Mawley, in honor of one of the best beloved of 
British rosarians. It is an enormous, big-petaled Rose, much 
larger than Melanie Soupert; a Rose it resembles in form, but 
of the beautiful rich color of a Louis Van Houtte, only with a 
more velvety shading upon the inside of its petals. This Rose 
could not fail to receive the coveted gold medal of the National 
Rose Society.” 35 cents; 2-year plants, 75 cents. 
ELIZABETH—(Benj. Cant, 1912.) Deep rosy-pink, shading off 
lighter towards the outer petals. Large full and well pointed 
buds and flowers. A very valuable sort that is decorative 
wherever placed. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 
ETHEL MALCOLM—(McGredy, 1910.) No Rose for many 
years created the same sensation among Rose growers as this 
superb variety when it was awarded the gold medal of the 
National Rose Society. The color is ivory-white passing to a 
pure white when the flower expands with a delicate peach shad- 
ing in center of bloom. A truly lovely color. A fine novelty- 
25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 
EUGENE BOULLET—(Pernet Ducher, 1911.) This will become 
a standard variety. it has all the ear-marks of a good Rose. 
Vigorous grower; free bloomer. The blooms are of the largest 
size; the color a rich ruby-red, and of delicious fragrance. A No. 
1 variety. 20 cents; 2=year plants, 40 cents. 
FARBENKONIGIN (Queen of Colors)—(Trier, 1901.) This is 
well named the Queen of Colors; our own personal opinion is 
that there is no finer Rose grown than this beautiful sort. It 
is large and full; color bright carmine and rosy-crimson, overlaid 
with a satiny silver sheen. Very floriferous. Simply grand. 
Here is another Rose that will bear an acquaintance. All 
Europe knows this Rose, while but few in America have even 
heard of it. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 40 cents.
