SIR THOMAS LIPTON 
N ote— is Magnificent New Rose was named by special permission in honor of Sir Thomas 
Lipton, of London, who came to New York in 1903 with his Yacht Shamrock on 
purpose to recapture the silver cup won many years ago by American sailors from the English in ocean 
races held at that time. Several races resulted between the “Shamrock” and the New York Yacht 
“Reliance ” in 1903, which attracted wide attention on both sides of the Atlantic,and though Sir 
Thomas did not win any of them, his indomitable pluck and perseverance won for him the 
warm admiration of the American people. and this New Hardy Pure White Rose was named 
in his honor by the introducers as a slight mark of their appreciation and respect. . . . . 
E have had this splendid rose on trial for several years, and now take pleasure in recommending ~ 
| it as the finest Pure White Hybrid Rugosa Rose yet produced. It is a strong vigorous grower, | 
=} making a handsome bush, 4 to 5 feet high, well covered with bright glossy green leaves, which _ 
= shine as if varnished. The flowers are 3to 4 inches across, perfectly double and pure snow | 
white. They are very fragrant and borne on strong upright stems all through the growing season. Itis _ 
one of the Hardiest Roses in Existence, and therefore particularly valuable for planting in cold climates and 
exposed localities where other roses do not thrive. It does well everywhere and can be depended on | 
to make a strong handsome bush and produce plenty of large double pure white roses for several — 
months every season. It is especially recommended for yard, park-and cemetery planting, because of t 
its handsome appearance, perfect hardiness and entire freedom from insects, rust and disease. It is un- 
doubtedly the Finest Pure White Hardy Hybrid Rugosa Rose yet produced, and is certain to be a 
standard variety for many years to come.
