This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Elizabeth of York (Dobbie & Co., 1927). Beautifully formed 



long pointed buds of a glowing cerise-red with yellow suffusion 

 at tlie base; the petals as they unfold spread widely with a 

 splendid reflex ultimately showing the stamens. An artistic, 

 dainty, delicately colored flower. $1.50 each. 



Everest (Easlea & Sons, 1927). One of the largest Roses yet 

 raised, buds large, perfectly shaped, flowers of immense size with 

 long broad petals of firm texture, fragrant ivory-white with 

 creamy suffusion and when fully developed resembles a large 

 Peony borne on long stems. While awarded a Gold Medal by 

 the National Rose Society of England in 1927 as a Hybrid-Tea, 

 it has the characteristics of a vigorous growing Hybrid-Perpetual. 

 $1.00 each. 



Flamingo (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). Very highly recom- 

 mended by the introducers and awarded the Gold Medal of the 

 National Rose Society of England. Very pretty in bud form; 

 these are long pointed of spiral forrj but open out quickly to semi- 

 double sweet-scented flowers. Color bright geranium red passing 

 to glowing rosy cerise as the flowers open. A strong, vigorous 

 grower, free and perpetual flowering. $1.50 each. 



Gladys Benskin (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). Large long 

 pointed buds and high centered full flowers well built, with 

 heavy, broad, slightly serrated petals. Color very distinct, the 

 reverse of the petals salmon cerise over golden yellow, with deep 

 yellow veining, inside bright rose cerise shaded orange, with 

 deeper orange shaded base and very rich fruity fragrance. 

 Vigorous, hardy, free branching upright habit, very free and 

 perpetual flowering. A most distinct, striking and unique novelty 

 that wiU be greatly admired. Awarded Certificate of Merit 

 National Rose Society of England. $1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn, the New Australian Hyurid-Tea Rose 

 (See Description page 48) 



Dr. Edward Deacon (Morse & Son, 1926). A variety that will 

 charm every lover of a real good Rose. Its color is fascinating, 

 the margin of the petals being a delicate tint of shrimp pink 

 gradually merging to a deep salmon-orange towards the base of 

 the artistically reflexed petals, forming a fine, very full flower, 

 that has good lasting qualities. The habit of the plant is ideal, 

 upright, strong and free flowering, with very healthy foliage. 

 $1.50 each. 



Duchess of Athol (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring of this 

 new variety is uncommon and delightful, an old golden-orange 

 flushed with peach pink, particularly attractive in the bud and 

 open state, growth vigorous, a free and continuous profuse 

 bloomer. Awarded Certificate of Merit of the National Rose 

 Society of England. $1.50 each. 



Edith Nellie Perkins (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). Entirely 

 distinct in coloring and of such strong robust growth that it 

 should succeed anywhere and produce an abundance of its 

 pretty colored flowers. The buds are long and pointed, the 

 outside of the petals are of cream and blush shaded with orange 

 at the base, the inner face is salmon-pink with golden-orange 

 base; the flowers are moderately double, produced on long stems 

 and sweetly scented. $1.50 each. 



E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many Roses 

 raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red variety one of the 

 most valuable. While it has gained great popularity as a winter 

 cut flower, it appears equally good for garden purposes, the long 

 buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered full double 

 flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shading to a deeper pure red as 

 they develop; of strong vigorous and free flowering habit. 

 $1.50 each. 



Emily Dodd (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1927). Very large ovoid bud 

 opening to a very large, full double, high centered, very lasting, 

 slightly fragrant flower of a milky white shaded cream in centre. 

 These are borne singly on strong stems; foliage large, rich green, 

 leathery and disease resistant; growth vigorous upright, bushy, 

 of compact habit, a profuse bloomer from June to October; 

 very hardy. $1.50 each.
