NEW AND RECENTLY INTRODUCED ROSES. 



On this page we group new Roses and some of recent introduction, many of which are now offered for the first time in this country. These were personally 

 selected, while in bloom and represent the cream of the European productions for the past few years. They have all figured prominently in the prize lists at the 

 leading shows in England carrying off gold and silver medals, certificates, cups, etc. We have grown them for a year before offering the newer ones and from our 

 trials can confidently offer them in the full belief that they will give satisfaction. This is the grandest galaxy of new Roses we have ever had the pleasure of offering. 

 They are all the Hybrid Tea class except where noted. The plants offered are from 2i inch deep Rose pots. Six sold at the dozen rate, 25 at the 100 rate.
