HYBRID-TEA ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING 



MERITORIOUS RECENT INTRODUCTIONS AND GENERAL LIST 

 OF BEST VARIETIES— Continued 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. A remarkably floriferous variety of strong, 

 vigorous, but compact growth; the fragrant flowers, full double, 

 in color a distinct Indian-yellow, shading lighter towards the 

 edges. 

 Mrs. Beatty. An exquisite self-colored light lemon-yellow with 

 the delightful perfume of the old favorite Marechal Niel. Habit 

 of growth good, with disease-immune foliage, always in flower 

 with large, long, oval-pointed buds. A Rose that is destined to 

 become a popular favorite. 

 Mrs. Charles Bell. Similar in habit to Radiance with splendid 

 buds and flowers of fine globular form, of a lovely shell-pink 

 color with salmon shadings, sweetly scented. , 



Mrs. C. W. Edwards. Rich rosy-scarlet overlying an 

 orange ground, the base of the petals prettily zoned 

 citron-yellow which runs in faint veinings into the higher 

 colors; a novel color combination. Strong, vigorous 

 habit of growth; very free flowering with large, full, 

 fragrant flowers. 

 Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties 

 grown, always in flower and perfect in every stage of de- 

 velopment. In color it is of an intense briUiant pink with 

 lighter salmon pink shadings. A model Rose in every way. 

 Mrs . Henry Morse . One of the best light pink varieties. 

 Color two contrasting tones of pink with an underlying 

 yellow glow, flowers large, full and very high pointed, 

 fragrant and very free flowering. 

 Mrs. Lovell Swisher. A remarkably vigorous grower of 

 branching habit, weU furnished with excellent foliage, freely 

 producing perfectly formed long shapely buds with nicely re- 

 flexing petals that develop into good double flowers. The color 

 of the buds is a deep coppery salmon at base merging to salmon- 

 pink at the tips. The developed flowers are also salmon-pink, 

 deepening towards the centre. Delightfully tea scented. 

 Mrs. Redford. Bright apricot-orange one of the most lovely of 

 this tone of color, an upright grower with holly-like mildew-proof 

 foliage. The flowers are substantially built, perfect in form, 

 very free blooming. 

 Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller. As a pink bedding Rose 

 there is none better. The flowers, which are of large size, 

 remain perfect on the bushes for a long time, and are produced 

 very freely; they are of a bright pink color with lighter shad- 

 ings, the plant is vigorous and free. 

 Mrs. William C. Egan. A vigorous strong healthy grower, 

 with long, pointed buds of absolutely perfect form, that develop 

 into flowers of good shape. In color it is a two-tone pink, the 

 reverse of the petals a soft light pink, the interior deep flesh color. 

 Mrs. W. E. Nickerson. An extremely vigorous growing very 

 free-flowering Rose of the duatone Pernetiana type. The 

 splendidly-formed buds are of an entrancing new color, the 

 exterior of the petals heavily veined with rose d'or and shaded 

 orange cadmium, the interior a deep chrome-yeUow on the lower 

 half, veins out and passes to a warm rich rosy-salmon. 

 Ophelia. A variety which has made such a record for itself that 

 qualifies it to be classed with the very best, a Rose that is ad- 

 mired by everyone; its flowers are held erect on long stiff stems, 

 are of perfect form, good size, and of a most pleasing delicate 

 tint of salmon-flesh, shaded with rose, very floriferous. 

 Padre. Most attractive and novel in coloring, with long petals 

 of a coppery scarlet flushed with yeUow at the base. Growth 

 strong and upright and exceedingly free-flowering. A remark- 

 ably beautiful bedding Rose. 

 Pink Pearl. A dainty variety destined to become a universal 

 favorite if it had nothing to recommend it but its delicious fra- 

 grance. In color it is a brilliant rich cerise pink the base of the 

 petals touched with gold that lights up the flower wonderfuUy 

 particularly in the half expanded bloom. The flowers are full 

 double, of perfect form. 

 Radiance. An ideal bedding Rose of American origin that con- 

 tinues to produce its large fragrant flowers throughout the 

 most \infavorable hot summer weather when frequently many 

 other varieties fail; in color a briUiant carmine-pink, with 

 salmon-pink and yeflow shadings at the base of the petals; truly 

 a Rose for every garden. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose. Lord Charlemont 



Margaret McGredy. We consider this a masterpiece of 

 McGredy & Son. Large brilliantly-colored double flowers of an 

 entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, 

 lasting a long time. The plant is of vigorous bushy habit, verj' 

 free flowering; light spicy fragrance. 



Miss Lolita Armour. The coloring of this variety is a combma- 

 tion of tints difficult to describe. The flowers are of large size, 

 ftoll double, of a deep, coral-red with a golden, coppery-red 

 suffusion, a strong, vigorous grower and very free-flowering. 



Mme . Alexander Dreux. While not a large flower it has become 

 prominent on account of its distinct briUiant color and pretty 

 shaped buds of a coppery golden-yeUow and which develop into 

 high-centered full flowers with reflexed petals of deep yeUow 

 splashed with orange. 



Mme. Butterfly. Beautiful buds and flowers, light soft pink 

 tinted yeUow at base of petals, very free and highly scented. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot (The Daily Mail Rose). In color its 

 buds are coral-red, shaded with yeUow at the base, the open 

 flowers of medium size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, 

 shaded w'ith yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp- 

 red. A wonderful color combination. 



Mme. Jules Bouche. While not a pure white, it being at times 

 slightly tinted with blush at the centre, it is to aU intents 

 white and without question the best white everblooming 

 bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers are large, quite 

 double and of splendid form, both in the bud as weU as in the 

 fuUy expanded flower; it is fragrant, a vigorous grower and very 

 free flowering. 



Mme. Leon Pain. Entirely distinct in color, a silvery-salmon, 

 with deeper orange-yeUow shaded centre, the reverse of the 

 petals being a salmony-pink; very free-flowering. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. One of the finest Roses yet intro- 

 duced. We have in this variety a most distinct and valuable 

 addition, of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of even 

 tone that passes to yeUow at the base of the petals; this attractive 

 color does not fade as the flower ages, but if anything becomes 

 richer and brighter. The bud is long pointed and develops into 

 a fuU double flower of model form and substance; very fragrant. 



Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell. An attractive variety of dis- 

 tinct color, that everyone Ukes, a deUcate, soft, rosy-salmon, 

 suffused with a golden sheen; a free-flowering garden variety 

 that should be in every coUection.
