The Queen Alexandra Rose 



RED HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 



•HOOSIER BEAUTY. (Illustrated above.) Big, torch-like blooms of dusky 

 red, opening from glowing slender buds; quite double, with wide-spreading but- 

 terfly petals surrounding an exquisite center. Among the better Roses for cut- 

 ting, enduring a long while, retaining its color well, and keeping its full and fine 

 perfume until the petals falL Even in the garden it does not "blue" so badly as 

 many red Roses. Not a proHfic bloomer, but may be depended upon to furnish a 

 fair number of fine flowers. The plant is ordinarily a moderate grower, but often 

 throws up vigorous branching canes bearing six or seven flowers on long, grace- 

 ful stems like a giant candelabrum. It wiU sometimes hang its head. A rose of 

 American origin whose rare beauty is unsurpassed in its color. N. R. S. Gold Medal.

•RED RADIANCE. (Illustrated in natural color on back cover and de- 

 scribed on page 5.) 



•EUGENE E. MARLITT. Not a Hybrid Tea, but a Bourbon Rose, belonging 

 to a beautiful old race of which only a very few of the ver^' best varieties have 

 survived. The flowers are dark carmine-red, very double, deliciously scented, 

 and come in bunches of three or four on strong stems. It is a vigorously growing, 

 spreading Rose, and produces its old-fashioned shaped flowers very freely over the 

 whole season. Very hardy, and its foliage is quite resistant to disease. This Rose 

 is fine for massing, and quite distinguished enough to go in a bed by itself.

•THE QUEEN ALEXANDRA ROSE. (Illustrated above.) A razzle-dazzle, 

 jazzy Rose of red and yellow, unmixed, distinct, and sharp. The plump buds 

 open quickly, the bright red petals curhng crisply against a background of old- 

 gold. The fully open flower is loosely formed, and of clear red, with yellow 

 glimpses where the petals twist. A new Rose of absolutely unique coloration, 

 whose growth characteristics have yet to be learned by wide testing. It seems to 

 be a fairly liberal bloomer, a strong grower, and quite hardy. It is stifl so new that 

 its resistance to disease has not yet been determined. A spectacular Rose of much 

 promise. N. R. S. Gold Medal."^ $1.50 each.
