HYBRID-TEA ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING 



MERITORIOUS RECENT INTRODUCTIONS AND GENERAL LIST 

 OF BEST VARIETIES— Continued 



Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. This has quickly found its 

 place among the best bedding Roses. In color it is a two tone 

 yellow, the centre a beautiful apricot-yellow. 

 Souvenir de Georges Pernet. This stands at the head of the 

 list of the many valuable garden Roses that have been produced 

 by Mr. Pernet-Ducher. It is a strong, vigorous grower and pro- 

 duces its large flowers, beautiful in both bud and fully developed 

 bloom, of an intense Oriental red, shading to cochineal carmine 

 at the margin of the petals, the whole being suffused with a 

 golden sheen. 

 The Queen Alexandra. A brilHant flower of intense ver- 

 milion deeply shaded old gold on reverse of petals, which 

 spring from a pure orange base, one of the most remarkable 

 color combinations seen in Roses. 

 Ville de Par is (City of Paris) . A very distinct rich buttercup 

 yellow without a trace of any other color, retaining its rich- 

 ness under aU weather conditions. In formation it is some- 

 what similar to Radiance, fairly double and splendid for 

 cutting. Habit, upright, and tall, a profuse bloomer. 

 Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in coloring; a 

 rich capucine red with coppery suffusion overlying a golden- 

 salmon ground, varying in intensity under different weather 

 conditions, but always beautiful and particularly high colored 

 early in the season and in the autumn. The buds are long and 

 pointed, opening to double high-centred very fragrant flowers. 

 William F. Dreer. A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as 

 Los Angeles, and for dehcacy of coloring no other variety can 

 compare. The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los 

 Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all stages are at their 

 best in the half expanded flower. These, in expanding, are of a 

 soft, silvery shell pink at certain stages of development, a golden 

 suffusion iUuminates the entire flower. 

 Willowmere. This splendid Rose is of a coral-red color, suffused 

 with carmine in the bud state, and opens to a large, full, hand- 

 some flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre 

 and flushed carmine-pink towards the edges of the petals. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Souv. de Georges Pernet 



Red Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a 

 "sport," possessing all the good traits of that valuable variety 

 but differing in color which is a bright cerise-red. 



Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable beauty both in 

 form and color. The long pointed buds are of a coppery-red 

 stained red on the outside and open to good full double fragrant 

 flowers of a golden-yellow particularly high colored in late 

 summer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 

 beautiful foliage. A most distinct variety that has deservedly 

 gained great popularity. 



Rose Marie. One of the best bedding Roses grown, remarkably 

 free-flowering, producing large, long, ideal buds, which develop 

 into full flowers of beautiful form, of a most pleasing clear rose- 

 pink. 



Sensation. Splendid large crimson-scarlet, perfect in its long 

 pointed bud as well as in the fully developed, sweetly scented, 

 double flower. A strong vigorous grower that is particularly 

 brilliant late in the autumn. i 



Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. Dickson & 

 Son's introductions. Color orange-rose, overshot with 

 golden-yellow and flushed soft rose, bud of beautiful shape, 

 the open flowers cupped with reflexing outer petals, growth 

 vigorous and free with beautiful foliage. 



Sir David Davis. We do not hesitate to select this as one of 

 the best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep glowing 

 crimson of an even shade throughout running to light yellow 

 at the base of petals. The flowers are of good size, pointed 

 and of good form with large, heavy petals and strongly sweet 

 scented. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower of 

 erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foliage, long 

 pointed buds of exqvusite shape, carried on long, stiff stems. 

 Very large, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beautifully 

 formed bloom. Color, striking sunflower-yellow, deeper in the 

 centre, without any color blending, and which is retained 

 without fading even in the warmest weather.
