STAR GUIDE TO GOOD ROSES 



Everblooming Star Roses, continued 



*MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT. (The Daily 

 Mail Rose.) Pernet. Coral-red. The long-pointed 

 buds glow like dusky fire, and the newly opened 

 blooms are a deep coral-red which soon changes 

 to a pleasing orange-pink. Its fairly large, semi- 

 double flowers are well formed in the early stage, 

 but open quickly in an artistically disarranged 

 fashion. An abundant bloomer, but the stems 

 are rather short for cutting. Moderately fra- 

 grant. The plant is vigorous and has a bushy, 

 spreading habit which makes it a good bedding 

 Rose. It is one of the earliest to bloom and con- 

 tinues until hard frost. Hardy. See color illus- 

 tration, page 12. $1 each. 



•MME. JULES BOUCHE. H.T. White. The 

 long-pointed buds open to very double, white 

 flowers with a tinge of pink hemming the center 

 petals. A tall, healthy plant. $1 each. 



• MAMA LAMESCH. H.T. Salmon-pink. 

 We have at last found a worthy substitute 

 for the temperamental but beautiful Los 

 Angeles. The large, ovoid bud is very 

 similar in color to Los Angeles, but the 

 open bloom is fuller and holds its form 

 better. There is a pleasing fragrance. The 

 color is a glowing salmon-pink, faintly 

 washed with lemon-yellow at the base. Its 

 flower-stems are strong and hold up the 

 heavy blooms without bending. In habit it 

 is very good — upright and vigorous. It has 

 large, glossy foliage which is quite persistent. 

 Blooms abundantly and continuously. In 

 all, it is one of the best varieties of the salmon- 

 pink color. $1 each. 



•MARGARET McGREDY. Pernet. 

 Orange-scarlet. See illustration. When a 

 Rose is named for a member of the origi- 

 nator's family, it is generally a good one, and 

 Margaret McGredy is no exception to the 

 rule. A prolific producer of perfect, medium- 

 sized blooms, regularly imbricated. The plant 

 is also notable for its upright habit and beautiful, 

 lasting foliage. Its large, long-pointed bud opens 

 to a brilliant scarlet flower overlaid with orange- 

 vermilion, and having a golden half-moon at the 

 base of the petals, which makes a striking con- 

 trast; as the flower ages, the various pigments 

 mix into a uniform old-rose-pink. It is moder- 

 ately fragrant. The flower-stems are stronger 

 than most Roses of the orange-scarlet type. 

 A really fine Rose. $1 each. 



•MARGUERITE CHAMBARD. H.T. New. 



Geranium-red, sometimes shaded with vermilion. 

 See description on page 30. 



•MISS WILLMOTT. H.T. White. Big buds 

 opening to large, cupped, white flowers, lightly 

 tinted with pink, borne on long stems. Deli- 

 riously fragrant. A white Rose of exceptional 

 merit. $1 each. 



• MARI DOT. Pernet. New. Apricot. See 

 description on page 26; color plate, page 27. 



• MISS C. E. VAN ROSSEM. H.Ben. Crimson- 

 scarlet. The medium-sized, long-pointed buds 

 open to cupped blooms which are crimson-scarlet 

 with carmine and black shading. The color 

 darkens with age but never blues. Slightly fra- 

 grant. As a bedding Rose it has no equal, throw- 

 ing continually a great volume of blooms. The 

 plant is compact and bushy, with a plentiful 

 supply of small, healthy foliage. Because of its 

 affiliation with the Bengal strain it is extremely 

 hardy. $1 each. 



Margaret McGredy. Orange-scarlet 



•MISS ROWENA THOM. H.T. Rose-pink. 

 The large, ovoid buds open long and are beautifully 

 pointed, expanding to perfect, double flowers of 

 much substance which frequently open 5 inches 

 across. It is a giant Rose, and we know none 

 larger, not even the famous Paul Neyron. The 

 color is brilliant, dark rose-pink with a golden 

 glow at the base of the petals, which suffuses 

 the whole flower and intensifies the color as the 

 blooms unfold. In vigorous habit of growth, 

 freedom of bloom, and in adaptability to varied 

 climatic conditions it promises to equal Roses of 

 the Radiance type, while its flowers in form and 

 size are on a par with the best high-class varieties 

 of recent introduction. $1.50 each.
