This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Margaret Anne Baxter (T. Smith & Son, 1927). Buds long 

 and pointed opening freely to flowers of medium to large size, 

 flowers full double and slight sweet scent. The outer petals 

 are of palest lemon tinted white, the centre salmon blush, outer 

 petals beautifully reflexed, borne on stout stiff stems. Awarded 

 Gold Medal of National Rose Society of England. §1.50 each. 



May Wettern (Alex. Dickson, 1928). A magnificently formed 

 bud and flower of moderate fullness and artistic coloring. The 

 flowers are composed of immense, deep, wide petals of very 

 solid texture, their formation making a beautiiuUy built long 

 bud and high pointed flower, in which the inner face of the 

 petals evolves from a bright salmon pink in the bud to deep 

 flesh pink; then to bright pink in the more developed flower; 

 the outer side passes from deep rose to rosy pink and finaUy to 

 bright rose, the blending of these tones creating a wonderful 

 color harmony. 



In growth, it is upright and free, throwing many base and 

 side shoots which produce long-stemmed flowers quickly and 

 freely. Very sweet scented. Gold Medal National Rose Society, 

 England. $1.50 each. 



McGredy's Scarlet (McGredy, 1930). Messrs. McGredy 

 say of this Rose: "We have never seen anything approaching 

 this Rose in color, a rich briUiant scarlet, so velvety that one 

 can almost see the pile. The base is orange, and the upper 

 portions of the petals are lightly washed deep crimson which 

 enhances the whole flower The habit of growth is free, vigorous 

 and upright with large dark green mildew-proof foliage. The 

 stems are strong carrying the flowers erect, free and continuous 

 flowering." A brilliant Rose for the garden and for cutting. 

 Awarded First Class Certificate National Rose Society of 

 England. §1.50 each. 



Mme. Henri Queuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This splendid 

 Rose in the formation of its large, full flowers, strong, vigorous, 

 healthy growth and freedom of flowering reminds one of the 

 same raiser's popular bedding variety. Souvenir de Georges 

 Pernet, excepting in color which is much lighter, being a pretty 

 shrimp or coral pink on an orange-copper base. §1.50 each.

Lady Leslie (McGredy, 1929). Some modern critics lament the 

 absence of fragrance at the expense of vivid colors, but in the 

 beautifully formed good sized flowers of Lady Leslie we have a 

 combination of sweetest fragrance and briUiancy in coloring. 

 In the early stages the flowers are rosy scarlet which, as they 

 develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine suffused with saffron yellow 

 on a yellow base, a warm glowing color combination particularly 

 in the young state. Awarded Certificate of Merit National Rose 

 Society of England. $1.50 each. 



Lady Mary Elizabeth (Alex. Dickson, 1927). A variety of 

 outstanding merit. Of strong, vigorous, upright, branching 

 habit with good healthy foliage and very prolific flowering. 

 Flowers delightfully fragrant. Long pointed buds with deep 

 substantial petals in color a brilliant carmine-pink. §1.50 each. 



Lord Rossmore (Dr. J. Campbell HaU, 1928). Globular 

 blooms of great size and of good substance. The outer reflexing 

 petals are creamy yellow and the central mass of petals is various- 

 ly tinted with salmon blush, flesh or pink and of delicate tea 

 scent. The growth is very strong and free with good foliage. 

 Awarded Gold Medal National Rose Society of England. 

 $2.50 each. 



Lucie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Very long pointed 

 buds, deep yellow splashed with red. As the outer petals un- 

 fold, the inner face is yellow with coppery venation with the 

 tips of the petals lightly tipped with pink, slightly fragrant. 

 It is of strong vigorous healthy habit of growth with dark 

 leathery foliage. A most distinct and interesting bedding 

 variety. Awarded Certificate of Merit National Rose Society 

 of England. §1.50 each. 



Marion Gran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination is won- 

 derful. In the young stage the color is deep buttercup-yellow, 

 margined and flushed cerise and rosy-scarlet. As the flower 

 opens the outside of the petals retain their color, while the inner 

 side opens a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed and veined orange 

 and yellow; as the flowers age the color changes to a deep cerise 

 on bright rosy-scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. The whole 

 flower glows and has a wonderful sheen. The flowers are full, of 

 nice form, and medium size. The habit is bushy, free, and 

 upright. $1.50 each.
