PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WINTER FLOWERING ROSES. 
| * ROSES m WINTER BLOODING. * 
f\N THIS page we offer the best varieties for winter forcing in the greenhouse. These are the sorts 
^ grown for the New York market and cannot be surpassed for that purpose. They are also among 
the best for summer blooming. 
$w Hybrid Tea Wicjter-Bloomicjg Rose. 
Souvenir da President Carnot. 
A Hybrid Tea Rose of the greatest promise. It is 
unquestionably the finest rose of its color introduced 
in a decade. Whether considered from the stand- 
point of the commercial cut-flower grower or from 
its fitness for garden work, this rose is without a 
superior, and it is doubtful if it has an equal. The 
growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very 
handsome, but the glory of the variety is in its 
flower. It is very large, both in the bud and in the 
expanded flower, double to the centre, and opens 
beautifully. The coloring is nearer like Devoniensis 
than any rose on the market at the present time, 
but it is lighter and approaches nearer to a white. 
Technically described, it could be called a rosy flesh, 
very soft in the centre, and shaded with a lighter 
flesh at the end of the petals. The bud is as long 
as Niphetos, but not quite so pointed, and is very 
much fuller at the base. It has taken front rank 
already in the metropolis. Price, 40c. each, $4 00 
per doz., $30.00 per 100. Strong plants from 4 inch 
pots. 
American Beauty. In "American Beauty" we 
have a hardy rose of the largest size, having the 
ever blooming qualities of the Tea Rose with the 
delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Rose ; conse- 
quently equally valuable for winter or summer 
flowering. In color it is a deep, brilliant pink, 
shaded toward the centre with rich carmine crimson. 
40c. each ; $4.00 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
Bridesmaid. Another rose of American origin, 
a "sport" from C. Mermet, and possessing all the 
good qualities of the parent variety. It surpasses 
it in color, being a deep, brilliant pink and constant 
in color under all conditions. It is invaluable for 
winter forcing. 
Catherine Mermet. This charming rose deserves 
and receives recognition from all rose lovers. The 
color is a delicate rosy pink unapproached by any 
other. The buds are large, long and pointed, of 
great substance and most delicious fragrance. 
Christine de Noue. A new Tea Rose of pro- 
nounced merit, largest size, full and double and 
remarkably fragrant. The color of the flowers is 
brilliant red at the base of the petals, toning upward 
to brilliant rose-madder and lessening to light rosy 
pink toward the edges. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A Hybrid Tea 
Rose, soft pearly white, lightly tinted with lemon 
in the centre, just enough to relieve the white ; re- 
markably fragrant, a strong, healthy grower, with 
bold, beautiful foliage. The habit is free ; the 
beautiful, perfectly shaped flowers are borne in 
profusion on long graceful stems, so that it will be 
invaluable for cut flowers. 
La France. A large and beautiful rose, 
peach-blossom pink shaded silvery rose. 
Color, 
Madame de Watte ville. A grand rose for winter 
blooming. Color, beautiful shell pink deepening to 
bright rose at the edge of the petals, the body of 
the flower being creamy white. 
Mrs. Pierpont Morgan. We have no hesitation 
in saying that this is one of the very finest Tea 
Roses ever produced in America. It is a sport from 
Madame Cusin, and is in every way very much 
superior to that variety, being a much more robust 
grower ; the flowers are very much larger and very 
double (many measured 4$ inches through when in 
perfection); with much larger foliage than its parent, 
it is also much more prolific ; the petals are broad 
and massive. The color is intensely bright cerise, 
or rose pink, with porcelain rose shadings. 
Meteor. This is a remarkably rich, dark velvety 
crimson rose ; so dark, indeed, that under certain 
conditions it is blackish crimson. For winter flowers 
it is rapidly becoming the most valuable variety on 
the market. 
Papa Gontier. This is one of the most fashionable 
of our winter-flowering roses, but is equally useful 
for summer bedding. Color, a glowing carmine 
crimson. 
Perle des Jardins- No rose of its color is mere 
valuable than this. Tens of thousands of it are 
grown in the vicinity of New York for winter flower- 
ing ; it is equally valuable for summer, as it flowers 
continuously. Its color is a rich shade of yellow ; 
large size and perfect form. Tea fragrance ; a 
healthy, free grower, and unequalled in profusion 
of bloom. 
Souvenir de Wootton. This superb rose is 
unquestionably one of the finest varieties ever intro- 
duced for either summer or winter blooming. The 
color is a beautiful shade of crimson, deliciously 
fragrant, a constant and most prolific bloomer, every 
new shoot forming a flower- bud. 
Sunset. This exquisite orange-yellow vaiiety is 
one of the finest Tea Roses grown. The flowers 
are large and double. The exquisite shades of 
coloring found in this variety can only be compared 
to the gorgeous colors of a summer sunset ; hence 
the name. It is deliciously fragrant, a strong- 
growing and free-flowering variety. 
The Bride. " The Bride'' is a pure white rose 
of large size and most perfect form. This variety 
has the most delicious Tea fragrance, and is a 
strong-growing, free blooming rose either for sum- 
mer or winter flowering. 
Price for any of the above (except where specially priced) strong* plants from 4-inch 
pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz., $18.00 per 100. Full set of 15 Roses for $3.50.
