New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Patience 

 (Described on page 52) 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A mar- 

 velously beautiful Rose with a unique color combination not 

 found in any other variety, a most striking blending of dark 

 vivid orange and apricot on a golden yellow ground with fre- 

 quently touches of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The 

 sweet-scented flowers are very large, of perfect formation both 

 in the bud as well as in the fully developed flower and are pro- 

 duced very freely on vigorous upright growths. Gold Medal at 

 The Hague. $1.50 each. 



Miss Rowena Thom (Howard & Smith, 1928). In vigorous 

 habit of growth, freedom of bloom and in its adaptability to 

 varied climatic conditions, this will prove equal to the popular 

 Radiance Roses, while its flowers in size and form are equal to 

 the best high-class varieties of recent introduction and all of 

 which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. Its buds are long 

 and shapely, opening to perfect double flowers frequently 5 

 inches across of a brilliant rose-pink, the base of the petals 

 having a golden suffusion. $1.00 each. 



Monarch (Dobbie, 1926). Very large long pointed bud develop- 

 ing into large double high centered flowers, very lasting, of a 

 rich silvery pink color, borne singly on long stout stems. A 

 strong vigorous grower and an abundant continuous bloomer; 

 very hardy. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 1926). 

 This is the best yellow bedding Rose we have to-day. It is of 

 clean healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy 

 disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free bloomer through- 

 out the season. The medium sized buds are long and shapely 

 and develop into good sized full double flowers of a rich deep 

 lemon yellow, sweetly scented. $1.00 each. 



Mrs. Herbert Dowsett (Easlea, 1928). Originated as a sport 

 from Los Angeles, large ovoid bud, large full double very lasting, 

 well shaped, moderately fragrant flower. In color it is several 

 shades deeper than its popular parent. Growth vigorous, bushy 

 habit and a continuous bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. John Bell (John Bell, 1928). A Rose of exceptional merit, 

 of a most attractive vivid shade of cochineal carmine, with large 

 long pointed shapely buds and very large full double cupped 

 shapely fragrant flowers borne singly on good stems. Growth 

 moderate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage and a 

 profuse bloomer. A variety that is certain to become popular 

 and which will displace all others of a similar shade of color. 

 Awarded Gold Medal of Scottish Rose Society. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929). The following is an 

 extract of Messrs. McGredy's description of this beautiful 

 new variety: "The color is quite distinct from anything yet 

 seen in Roses, a wonderful dual combination of vivid shades. 

 A beautiful scarlet coppery-orange is heavily flushed with 

 Lincoln-red on the outside of the petals, and these colors to- 

 gether give a rich and almost dazzling effect. The flowers are of 

 large size and beautiful form, and they possess the proper 

 fullness to make them useful for all purposes. They are very 

 freely produced and delicately perfumed. The plant has a 

 vigorous and exceptionally free habit and is for all Rose growers 

 the best all-purpose variety we have raised." $2.50 each. 



Night (McGredy & Son, 1930). Unquestionably the darkest 

 crimson Rose so far raised. We quote from the English National 

 Rose Society's Annual "An extraordinary Rose most certainly 

 the nearest approach to a black Rose we have. Its color is 

 perhaps best described as a black shaded maroon. It quite 

 eclipses the old Hybrid Perpetual Prince Camille de Rohan, 

 hitherto our darkest Rose." Messrs. McGredy describe it as a 

 blackish crimson. The flowers are of medium size, full and of 

 perfect form and sweetly scented and freely and continuously 

 produced. $2.50 each. 



Norman Lambert (McGredy, 1926). A distinct color combi- 

 nation that is novel. The outside of the petals is a deep chrome- 

 yeUow with a marginal color efiiect of brilliant orange-scarlet 

 merging to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside salmon- 

 orange suffused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. The 

 flowers are of medium size and form, dehghtfully fragrant and 

 free-flowering. A splendid bedder. $1.00 each.
