HYBRID-TEA ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING 



MERITORIOUS RECENT INTRODUCTIONS AND GENERAL 

 LIST OF BEST VARIETIES 



The Roses offered on this and the following pages represent the cream of the novelties of recent years, together with the best standard 

 well tried varieties, all of them sorts that have been thoroughly tested and which we unhesitatingly recommend to the large and small 

 planter; not as the most extensive but what we believe is the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose-loving American 

 public. ^ — -\ 



Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds developing into wonderful 

 flowers of immense size are produced singly on well-foliaged 

 strong canes. The flowers are composed of very substantial 

 broad petals which curl back prettily forming a glorious long 

 pointed bud and a full double flower which is beautiful in every 

 stage of development. Color a brilliant yet soft Rose du Barri 

 pink; strongly sweet-scented. 



Doris Dickson. Exquisitely formed medium-sized flowers, 

 the base color of which is orange cream, but so heavily 

 veined and pencilled with deep brilliant cherry that it is 

 impossible to adequately describe the unique coloring. 

 Growth vigorous, very free flowering, and extremely fra- 

 grant. A variety that is sure to become a favorite. 



Doris Traylor. Very distinct in coloring, the long buds 

 orange-cadmium; the outer petals heavily flushed deep 

 orange. As the large flower expands it changes to a deep 

 amber-yellow. Plant vigorous and free-flowering; delicately 

 scented. 



Duchess of York. Good sized well formed double flowers 

 of distinct and unique coloring; a pretty shade of tangerine- 

 orange with rose sufi'usion, passing to golden rose-pink as the 

 flowers develop. A good free flowering garden variety. 



Duchess of Wellington. Long shapely buds, with petals of 

 great substance, color an intense saffron-yeUow stained deep 

 crimson, delightfully fragrant and very free flowering. 



Edel. An enormous bold, 

 depth, quality and finish, 

 shading towards the base. 



stately, well built flower of great 

 Color, white with the faintest ivory 



Hvbrid-Tea Rose, Angele Pernet 



Angele Pernet. Distinct in color, a rich, vivid, coppery- 

 orange-yeUow in which it is not approached by any other Rose. 

 Its buds are long, opening to semi-double cupped fragrant 

 flowers. An indispensable variety that you will love for its 

 wonderful color. 



Betty. Produces blooms of marvelous beauty, particularly so in 

 the autumn. Color glowing coppery-rose, suffused with a golden 

 sheen. 



Betty Uprichard. A pretty combination of colors, irmer face of 

 petals delicate salmon-pink to carmine, outside glowing carmine 

 with coppery sheen and orange suffusion; well-formed medium 

 sized flowers of good substance and sweet scented. 



Caroline TestOUt. One of the most popular and valuable 

 bedding varieties; large, full globular flowers of bright satiny 

 rose, with brighter centre, very free and fragrant. The Rose 

 that made Portland, Oregon, famous as the Rose City. 



Chateau de Clos Vougeot. Beautiful rich flowers, brilliant 

 scarlet shaded fiery red changing to dark velvety crimson as the 

 blooms expand, very double, intensely fragrant. 



Columbia. Of strong, vigorous habit and exceptionally free 

 blooming. The flowers are perfect in form. Color a most 

 pleasing shade of rose-pink and delightfully fragrant. 



Constance. A free-flowering variety, producing beautiful long 

 orange-yellow buds, more or less streaked with crimson; as they 

 develop they open to a full globular flower of golden-yeUow. 



Cuba. As a bedding Rose for brilliant mass effect we know of 

 nothing that will equal this French introduction and although 

 the flowers are semi-double, they possess a charm and brilliancy 

 in color which is an entirely new tone in Roses, a glorious bright 

 vermilion-scarlet overlying an orange ground, this color com- 

 bination is so intense that in full sunlight it glistens with an 

 iridescent sparkle. A vigorous grower with dark green foliage 

 which makes a splendid foil for the masses of richly colored 

 blooms that it produces from spring to late fall. 



Eldorado {Land of Gold). Of free flowering habit and fragrance, 

 in color it is of the golden yellow that is peculiar to the climbing 

 Rose Marechal Niel. 



Elegante. Long sulphur yellow buds developing into large 

 full creamy-yellow flowers, a strong vigorous grower and very 

 free flowering. 



Emile Charles. A French introduction of rich coloring, the 

 buds being of a fiery red shaded and suffused with golden yellow, 

 these develop to medium sized flowers of superb coral-red shading 

 to rosy strawberry-red on the outer petals. Growth vigorous 

 and free flowering. 



Ethel James. One of the most artistic of the single-flowering 

 Hybrid-Teas. Very large, sweetly scented, flowers opening out 

 in salver form, of a deep carmine flushed with orange. 



Etoile de Feu. Very distinct and attractive large substantial 

 globular buds expanding to large, cupped, full to centre flowers, 

 of a rich flaming orange-pink with flame colored shadings, borne 

 profusely throughout the season, the plant is of vigorous free 

 habit with attractive glossy foliage. 



Etoile de HoUande. A strong vigorous healthy grower and 

 free bloomer which like the popular Radiance Roses, improves in 

 vigor from year to year. It is a continuous bloomer with large, 

 moderately double flowers that are particularly attractive in the 

 half-blown state. In color a brilliant crimson red. 



Felicity. A gem of a beautiful shade of mallow-pink shading to 

 bright cerise at the edges, with soft creamy suffusion at the base 

 of petals; fine long bud and splendid, large, double, sweet-scented 

 cup-shaped flower. An exceptionally fine Rose. 



Feu Joseph Looymans. Remarkable for its long pointed buds 

 of brilliant orange buff and large moderately double-yellow 

 flowers with apricot centre and spicy fragrance. Growth vigor- 

 ous, upright and very free flowering. A splendid bedding Rose 

 and fine for cutting.
