New Irish 

 Hybrid -Tea Roses 



The varieties described below are the more recent 

 introductions of Messrs. McGredy and Son, Porta- 

 down, Ireland. The varieties marked 1925 and 1926 

 introductions of the past two years are offered exclusive- 

 ly by us this season in the United States and Canada. 



The Messrs. McGredy are the originators of many of 

 the prominent popular Roses grown in our gardens at 

 this time. 



Doris Traylor (1924). Buds of splendid 

 form, long and pointed, opening to mod- ^ 

 erately full flowers, sweetly scented. \ 

 Color imperial pink flushed crimson and 

 orange, the coloring is intensified by the 

 golden base of the petals which gives the 

 flowers a golden suffusion which is difficult 

 to convey. Growth vigorous and very free 

 flowering. $1.50 each. 



Lady Florence Stronge (1925). An entirely new, 

 distinct and novel color; a reddish prawn to violet 

 old rose shading to yellow at the base and pink 

 towards the edge, the inner surface of the petals 

 heavily veined and flushed scarlet, the flowers are 

 large, full with high centres and fragrant. Vigorous 

 in growth and free flowering. $1.50 each. 



C. 



Lord Charlemont (1922). Although introduced 

 some four years since this beautiful variety is still 

 very scarce. It is the most gorgeous and brilliant Rose 

 we have with flowers of the most intense clear crimson- 

 scarlet, deepening to carmine-crimson with almost black shad- 

 ings with perfectly shaped long pointed buds and large, full 

 double, sweetly scented flowers. Free growing and free flower- 

 ing, a splendid Rose of exceptional richness and beauty and 

 which attracted more attention in our trial beds in the summer 

 of 1926 than any other one variety. Unfortunately it is subject 

 to black spot in unfavorable seasons, but in spite of this it should 

 be included in every collection. $2.50 each. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough (1926). Unquestionably one of the 

 finest Roses Messrs. McGredy have ever sent out and winner of a 

 Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of England. 



Hybrid-te.\ Rose, Nornl^n Lambert 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Ix>rd Charlemont 



Pink sounds uninteresting in a new Rose, there being so many of 

 this shade, but in this new variety we have a most distinct and 

 valuable addition of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of an 

 even shade passing to yeUow at the base of the petals. The color 

 does not fade as the flower ages but appears to become brighter. 

 The flowers are full double of great size and substance and of per- 

 fect form with petals that are beautifully reflexed and of good 

 texture. The plant is of free branching habit, strong, vigorous 

 and free flowering; very fragrant. $2.50 each. 

 Mrs. C. W. Edwards (1924). Rich rosy-scarlet overlaying an 

 orange ground, the base of the petals prettily zoned citron yellow 

 which runs in faint veinings into the higher colors, a novel color 

 combination. Strong vigorous habit of growth, very free flower- 

 ing with large, full, fragrant flowers. $1.50 each. 

 Mrs. R. B. Molony (1925). Pure brilliant crimson-carmine 

 without any variation, wonderfully brilliant and glowing. The 

 flowers are large, full of perfect form, with reflexed petals of fine 

 substance and sweet scented, very free and perpetual. $2.50 each. 

 Mrs. Talbot O'Farrell (1926). A pretty shaped medium sized 

 bud and flowers of moderate petalage. The outside of the 

 petals lemon-yellow flushed and splashed deep cerise to crim- 

 son, the inside is deep cerise heavily flushed and veined orange- 

 yellow and bronze, all the colors blending and ming- 

 ling in pretty combination. A moderate grower; 

 sweet scented. $2.50 each. 

 Norman Lambert (1926). The formation and size 

 of the flowers reminds one of Golden Emblem but 

 with a distinct color combination that is novel. The 

 outside of the petals is a deep chrome-yeUow with a 

 marginal color effect of brilliant orange-scarlet merg- 

 ing to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside 

 salmon-orange suffused bronze, shading to yellow 

 at the base. The flowers are of medium size and 

 form with petals of good texture, delightfully fragrant 

 and exceptionally free flowering. $2.00 each. 

 Sir David Davis (1926). Color an unfading deep 

 glowing crimson of an even shade throughout running 

 to light yellow at the base of the petals The flowers are of good 

 size, pointed and of good form with large heavy petals, excep- 

 tionally free flowering and strongly sweet scented. $1.50 each. 

 Victor Waddilove (1925). Beautiful long buds of a rich brilliant 

 salmon-orange with intense carmine suffusion, large double 

 flowers of splendid form; a strong but compact grower, excep- 

 tionally free flowering and delightfully scented. $2.00 each. 

 We will furnish one strong two-year-old plant of each of these 

 ten New Irish Roses for $15.00.
