NOVELTIES IN ROSES. 



NEW HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



Mrs. J. Sharman 



Crawford. 



This lovely new hybrid is one of 

 the few large-flowering Roses that 

 bloom constantly and are perfectly 

 hardy. In Great Britain it has won 

 prizes wherever exhibited. In a 

 single year it received, besides the Gold 

 Medal of the National Rose Society of 

 England, first-class certificates from the 

 following famous sources : The Royal 

 Horticultural, of Ireland; Clontarf, and 

 the West of Scotland. Mrs. J. Sharman 

 Crawford is unquestionably a Rose of great 

 excellence. Color, deep rosy pink ; the 

 outer petals tinted with pale flesh in quite a new 

 and unique shade ; white at base of petals. So 

 distinct from all other Hybrid Perpetuals th.-.t the 

 I'jcims exhibited last season created quite a sensation. 

 ihe flowers are large, full, and verj' fragrant, of 

 perfect, imbricated form, and freely produced, the 

 plant blooming continually from 

 summer until late autumn. The pe- 

 tals are prettily cupped and pointed, 

 and the silver}' lustre on the reverse 

 makes the flower shimmer in the sun- 

 shine. A Rose in every respect 

 superb. Good strong young plants, 

 50 cts. each. 



Marchioness of 



Londonderry. 



This is a free-blooming, vigorous new 

 Hybrid Perpetual Rose of especial 

 beauty. It was awarded the Gold 

 Medal of the National Rose Society at 

 the Ciystal Palace, London, in 1894, 

 and is considered a valuable addition to 

 our small list of white hybrids. The 

 petals are shell-shaped, reflexed, and of 

 good substance, forming an elegant, 

 Pure white, highly perfumed. Good 

 young plants, 50 cts. each. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose, 



Belle Siebrecht. 



A truly superb Rose, the re.sult of a cross between La 

 France and Lady Fitzwilliams, described by the introducer 

 as follows: Color, imperial pink. Mr. Schuyler F. Mat- 

 thews, the greatest authority on colors in America, pro- 

 nounces it a solid pink of the richest shade, a rare color. 

 The flowers, which are sweetly perfumed, are large, beautifully formed and of that 

 long tapering shape, with high centre, and when half blown the petals reflex in 

 a graceful manner. The buds (which are borne on strong erect stems IJ to 2 

 feet in length) are from 2j to 3 inches long and when fully open the flow- 

 ers are 51 to 6 inches in diameter without showing the centre. The flowers 

 have great substance. The petals, which are of a heavy texture, do not easily 

 bruise or tarnish. They are good lasfers, some having been kept seven days without falling. It is a free and vig- 

 orous grower with large and glossy foliage of leather)' texture, entirely free from mildew. A most prolific 

 bloomer, every growth producing a perfect flower, not a deformed flower or bullhead ever having been seen. It 

 is predicted by eminent Rose growers that it will be the best selling and the best paying Rose that has ever been 

 introduced. We do not send this Rose out to be tried, as we have subjected it to the severest tests for over two 

 years and we can recommend it as a first-class acquisition. It has received the Gold Mgdal of the National Rose Society of Great 

 Britain and first-class certificates from all the leading horticultural societies both in Europe and America. It has proved itself to 

 be perfectly hardy out of doors in this country and a free and thorough everbloomer. It should also be stated that this Rose is 

 quite distinct from the now popular varieties, which are grown for cut flowers. It excels them all in color, fonn and freedom of 

 blooming. It is much richer and more brilliant in color than either American Beauty or Bridesmaid and in shape more 

 graceful, and develops and holds its color perfectly in dull weather. Dean Hole of England, the acknowledged greatest Rosarian 

 and author of the " Book on Roses," says : "It has not only the fine form and most beautiful color, which all must admire, but also 

 the vigorous habit and endurance of the flowers, all of which will make it to be universally welcomed."
