Everblooming Star Roses, continued 



* OPHELIA. H.T. Pearl-pink. See illustration. 

 Ophelia is rich in tints of pearl-pink and gold, 

 developing to creamy white. Many of our newer 

 and better Roses are descendants of this wonder- 

 ful "Mother" of Roses. Ophelia has much to 

 recommend it in growth, foliage, and flower. It 

 still retains its popularity as a cut-flower Rose, 

 and makes its best blooms in the fall, when the 

 immense buds open slowly and maintain their 

 beauty for a long time. $1 each. 



*PADRE. Pernet. Large scarlet blooms, with 

 a suffusion of copper that gives it a unique, 

 brilliant tonality. A slight tinge of yellow at the 

 base of the petal adds to its attraction. The long- 

 pointed buds are handsome, especially when the 

 outer petals begin to unfurl into semi-single 

 flowers, borne in light clusters on tall candelabra. 

 Being a tall grower, it should be planted at the 

 rear of Rose-beds. $1 each. 



•PALOMA FALCO. Pernet. Coppery pink. See 

 description on page 30. 



•PARDINAS BONET. Pernet. New. Yellow 

 and red. See description on page 30. 



Ophelia 



•PAX LABOR. H.T. Pale yellow. This Rose 

 fits in when arranging a bed of varieties ranging 

 from light to dark yellow. The bud is orange- 

 gold color, with a tinge of carmine on the edges 

 of the petals, and the open flower is Iarge> full, 

 and globular, very lasting when cut. Color is pale 

 golden yellow, passing to sulphur-yellow when 

 fully open. Blooms come freely in June and again 

 in the fall on vigorous, upright-growing plants. 

 Foliage is large, glossy, and disease-resistant. An 

 exceptionally fine Rose. $1.25 each. 



•PRINCESS ELIZABETH OF GREECE. H.T. 



Copper. An erect-growing Rose making rich- 

 colored, firm blooms suitable for cutting. The 

 handsome bud is burnt-orange color, slowly 

 evolving to a coppery colored bloom of large size. 

 Its foliage is disease-resistant, and the plant is 

 unusually hardy. $1.50 each. 



•RADIANCE. H.T. Two-tone pink. The most 

 popular American Rose. It was originated in 

 America and seems to embody practically every- 

 thing needed in a Rose for this country. It gives 

 abundant satisfaction in a greater diversity of 

 climates and in more sections of America than any 

 other Rose. Its bold flowers are produced almost 

 without interruption from June until hard frost on 

 a hearty, healthy, almost disease-proof bush such 

 as all Rose-hybridizers desire for their own crea- 

 tions. This is the amateur's Rose par excellence, 

 as it will grow and bloom freely in locations where 

 more temperamental beauties would fail. Shown 

 in natural colors on page 21. $1 each. 



•RAPTURE. H.T. Pink and coral. An im- 

 proved sport of Mme. Butterfly. The color of 

 Rapture is better and more lasting than 

 Mme. Butterfly; it has a few more petals, 

 and in the autumn the tints of yellow, pink, 

 and coral on a cream background are glor- 

 m ious. Like its parent in habit of growth, with 

 long, strong stems making it a choice Rose 

 for cutting. $1.25 each. 



•RED RADIANCE. H.T. Cerise-red. Vigorous 

 sport of Radiance, sometimes surpassing its 

 parent in growth. A consistently dependable 

 Rose. See in color on page 21. $1 each. 



•REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS. Pernet. Indian- 

 yellow. See description and color illustration on 

 page 11.
