Hybrid-Tea Rose Mrs. Aaron Ward 



Select Hybrid-Tea Roses 



Miss Cynthia Forde (Hugh Dickson, 1909). Flowers of 

 great substance, color a deep brilliant rose shading on the 

 back of the petals to a light rosy-pink. The flowers are large, 

 full, of perfect form, very free-flowering and fragrant. 

 Mrs. Arthur E. Coxhead (McGredy & Son, 1910). Claret- 

 red, shaded vermilion towards the edge and a bright rosy 

 sheen towards the base of the petals, giving a distinct illumi- 

 nated effect to the whole flower; very sweet scented. 



Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell (Pernet-Ducher, 1908). 

 An attractive colored variety that everyone likes, a deli, 

 cate, soft, rosy-salmon, suffused with a golden sheen; 

 flowers of medium size, especially handsome in half- 

 expanded form; a free-flowering garden variety that 

 should be in every collection 

 Mrs. Franklin Dennison (McGredy & Son, 1915). A Rose 

 of surpassing beauty, very large and full, well-formed flowers 

 of porcelain- white veiled primrose-yellow deepening to ochre 

 at base of petals. A strong, vigorous grower, producing its 

 large flowers in the greatest profusion. 



Mrs. Mackeller (Dickson & Sons, 1916). In strong habit of 

 growth and freedom of flowering this beautiful Rose compares 

 favorably with such a strong growing variety as Caroline Testout. 

 In color it is a distinct light lemon-yellow, shading to almost 

 creamy-white in warm weather. It has large flowers with full 

 high centres of splendid build, a valuable Rose in every way. 



Mrs. T. Hillas (Pernet-Ducher, 1913). Chrome-yellow, flow- 

 ers large and full, of elongated cup-shape; a very desirable 

 Rose of strong hardy constitution. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward (Pemet-Ducher, 1907). A remarkably florif- 

 erous variety of strong, vigorous, but compact growth; the flowers, 

 which are of splendid form, full double, are equally attractive when 

 full blown as in the bud state; in color a distinct Indian-yellow, 

 shading lighter towards the edges; under certain weather conditions, 

 the entire flower will sometimes come a yellow-tinted white, but it is 

 beautiful under all color variations. 



Mrs. Ambrose Rtccardo (McGredy & Son, 1914). A 

 Rose that is destined to take a leading place among 

 Hybrid-Teas on account of its many good qualities and 

 distinct character. The flowers are of large size, quite 

 double and of good form, in color a tender flesh-pink 

 suffused with honey-yellow, sweet scented, a strong 

 grower and free-flowering. 



Mme. Jules Bouche (Croibier, 1911). While not a 

 pure white, it being at times slightly tinted with blush on 

 the reverse of the petals, we consider it one of the best white bed- 

 ding Roses, It is quite double, and of fine form in bud as well as 

 in the fully expanded flower; a strong grower and very free-flowering. 



Mme. Marcel Delanney (Leenders, 1916). A surprisingly beau- 

 tiful variety raised by the introducers of the popular Rose Jonkheer 

 J. L. Mock, and honored with the award of the Gold Medal at the 

 trials of the Bagatelle Gardens at Paris in 1915. It is distinct and 

 peculiar in color, a pale soft pink or rose shaded with hydrangea pink; 

 the flowers are very large, full and fragrant, perfect in form and 

 borne on rigid stems; the growth is vigorous and very floriferous. 



Mme. Melanie Soupert (Pernet-Ducher, 1906). For delicacy in 

 coloring it would be difficult to surpass this magnificent serai-double 

 large-flowered variety which is especially fine in the bud form, in 

 color a charming pale tint of salmon-yellow witd pink and carmine 

 suffusion.
