Hybrid-Tea Rose Una Wallace 



H. A. Verschuren. A most desirable two- 



Souvenir de _ 



toned yellow, the edges light buff deepening to apricot yellow 

 at the centre, particularly rich in cool weather. Buds and 

 flowers of capital form, growth vigorous and healthy, very free 

 and sweetly perfumed. 

 Souvenir de George Beckwith. A variety that is meeting 

 with much favor, flowers very large, globular and full double, 

 with petals of good substance. Color shrimp pink, tinted chrome 

 yellow shading deeper at the base of the petals, the various 

 shades blending very harmoniously, moderately fragrant. 

 Sunburst. A very beautiful yellow Rose strongly suffused with 

 orange at the centre, buds and developed flowers of good form, 

 sweetly scented. 

 Templar. Splendid long oval buds and very double globular 

 fragrant crimson flowers whkh are particularly good early in 

 the season and in the autumn. 

 The Queen Alexandra. A brilliant flower of intense ver- 

 milion deeply shaded old gold on reverse of petals, which 

 spring from a pure orange base, one of the most remarkable 

 color combinations seen in Roses. The flowers are quite full 

 and when half blown are bewildering in their beauty, delight- 

 fully sweet-scented. 

 Una Wallace. In color quite distinct from any other Rose, a 

 beautiful soft, even toned cherry-rose without shading. In 

 depth, formation, and substance it is faultless, every bloom 

 coming perfect, and quite full. It is one of the freest growers. 

 W. E. Wallace. Deep golden yellow without shading, very 

 large, full and of exquisite form, freely and abundantly pro- 

 duced, a magnificent garden Rose. 

 William F. Dreer. A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as 

 Los Angeles, and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not com- 

 parable "to any other variety. The flowers, which are similar 

 in shape to Los Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all 

 stages are at their best in the half expanded flower. These, 

 in expanding, are of a soft, silvery shell-pink, at certain stages 

 of development, a golden suffusion illuminates the entire flower. 

 Willowmere. This splendid Rose is of a coral-red; suffused with carmine in the bud 

 state, and opens to a large, full, handsome flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow 

 in the centre and flushed carmine-pink towards the edges. *-

Select Hybrid -Tea Roses 



Queen of Fragrance. Flowers large, double and of elegant 

 graceful shape and freely produced throughout^ the season. The 

 color is a beautiful shell-pink, tipped with silver, bright and 

 pleasing. An outstanding quality of this beautiful Rose is its 

 powerful and delicious fragrance. 

 Red Letter Day. ^Brilliant scarlet crimson which never 

 fades. Semi-double or sometimes nearly single flowers, of 

 good size. Vigorous grower and a splendid bedder, partic- 

 ularly for massing. 

 Reims. Large flowers of very regular and perfect form, 

 petals round, very large, imbricated like a Camellia. Color 

 flesh white, yellow at base, centre bright nankin shaded 

 orange-apricot, vigorous habit and very free flowering. 

 jp Rose Marie. One of the best bedding Roses grown, re- 

 markably free-flowering, producing large, long, ideal buds, 

 which develop into full flowers of beautiful form, of a most 

 pleasing clear rose-pink. 

 Royal Red. Buds very large, moderately long and pointed, 

 flowers large, full double, and of good form, color intense 

 r crimson scarlet, vigorous, free and fragrant. 

 Ruth. Orange flushed carmine, a compact free-flowering variety. 

 Sensation. We hesitated to endorse this large red heretofore 

 as we had seen it only under weather conditions which caused 

 the color to purple, but during the past wet cloudy season it 

 proved to be one of the very desirable varieties. The flowers 

 under these conditions were very large, of full double excellent 

 form and of a splendid scarlet-crimson color shading much 

 deeper in the autumn. A strong vigorous grower and very 

 free flowering. 



Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. Dickson & Sons' 

 introductions of 1924, which was awarded the gold medal of the 

 National Rose Society of England. Color orange-rose, over- 

 shot with golden-yellow and flushed soft rose, bud of beautiful 

 shape, the open flowers cupped with reflexing outer petals, 

 growth vigorous and free with beautiful foliage, a sweetly 

 scented Rose of exceptional merit.
