HYBRXD TEA ROSES — Continued. 



Virginia R. Coxe 



or Grus an Teplitz. 



First introduced in America by The Dingee & Conard 

 Company, and one of the most popular of the famous Dingee 

 Roses. 



For intense and dazzling color there is no other Rose to 

 compare with this splendid kind. The flowers are large and 

 handsome, moderately double, of splendid substance, and 

 are produced in amazing profusion during the whole of the 

 growing season; in fact, it is always in bloom. The color is 

 fiery crimson, shaded with a dark velvety sheen, a combina- 

 tion found in no other Rose. 



The fragrance of Virginia R. Coxe Rose is unexcelled by 

 that of any other variety under cultivation. It is a strong 

 and sturdy grower, often attaining a height of four or five 

 feet, is perfectly hardy in all sections and is one of the 

 finest of many splendid Roses that have come to us from 

 Europe.
