Hybrid-tea Rose 

 Mrs. Willi.^ C. Egan 



GENERAL LIST OF HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



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. S. K. Rindge. Of strong free-branching habit of growth long 



pointed buds, carried erect on stiff stems. Color clear rich chrome-yel- 

 low, which, as the flowers mature, become suffused with salmon-pink. 

 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 shadings, the plant is vigorous and free. 

 Mrs. William C. Egan. An extremely 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; the flow- 

 ers are carried on long, stiff stems, an exceptionally free and 



continuous bloomer. 

 Mrs. Wemyss Quin. Deep lemon-chrome, shading lighter as 



the flower expands, outer petals tinged crimson-orange; very 



striking, free flowering. 

 Nederland. A particularly good deep glowing red, splendid 



buds opening to very large well formed flowers on long stems, 



fine for cutting, vigorous and free. 

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

 fies it to be classed with the very best, a Rose that is admired 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. One of the finest bedding Roses. Its color is a brUliant coppeiy scarlet flushed with 



yellow at the base, a briUiant color combination, while the fiflly, developed flowers are only 



semi-double they are of unusual formation and attractive in all stages. One of the freest 



flowering Hybrid-Tea varieties. 

 Pax Labor. A strong vigorous grower with large full light yellow flowers passing to sulphur- 

 yellow as they develop, particularly good in the autumn. 

 Premier. Brilliant rich deep pink flowers of large size and full 



form borne singly on long stiff stems, fragrant. A particularly 



good late summer and fall variety. 

 President Cherioux. A beautiful Rose, a pretty shade of 



prawn-red and salmon-pink shaded with yellow, large, full, 



perfectly shaped, globular flowers and very free blooming. 

 Queen of Fragrance. Flowers large, double and of elegant 



graceful shape and freely produced throughout the season. 



The color is a beautiful shell-pink, tipped with silver, bright and 



pleasing. An outstanding quality of this beautiful Rose is its 



powerful and delicious fragrance. 

 Radiance. An ideal bedding Rose that continues to produce its 



large flowers throughout the most unfavorable hot summer 



weather when frequently many other varieties fail; in color a 



brilliant carmine pink, with salmon-pink and yellow shadings 



at the base of the petals; truly a Rose for every garden. 

 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. 

 Reims. Large flowers of very regular and perfect form, petals 



round, very large, imbricated like a Camellia. Color flesh 



white, yellow at base, centre bright nankin shaded orange- 

 apricot, vigorous habit and very free flowering. 

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



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



to full flowers of beautiful form, of a most pleasing'clear rose-pink . 

 Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. Dickson & Son's 



introductions of 1924, which was awarded the gold medal of the 



National Rose Society of England. 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, a sweetly scented 



Rose of exceptional merit. 

 Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower 



of erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foliage, long 



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



Very large, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beauti- 

 fully formed bloom. Color most striking sunflower-yellow, 



deeper in the centre, without any color blending, and which is 



retained without fading even in the warmest weather. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. This variety 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 produces its large flowers which are beautiful in both 

 bud and fully developed bloom, which are of an intense oriental 

 red, shading to cochineal carmine at the margin of the petals, 

 the whole being suffused with a golden sheen. 



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 George Beckwith. A variety that is meeting 

 with much favor, flowers very large, globular and full dguble, 

 with petals of good substance. Color shrimp pink, tinted chrome 

 yellow shading deeper at the base of the petals, the various 

 shades blending very harmoniously, moderately fragrant. 



The Queen Alexandra. A brilliant flower of intense vermilion 

 deeply shaded old gold on reverse of petals, which spring from a 

 pure orange base, one of the most remarkable color combina- 

 tions seen in Roses. The flowers are quite full and when half 

 blown are bewildering in their beauty, delightfully sweet-scented. 



Una Wallace. In color quite distinct from any other Rose, a 

 beautiful soft, even toned cherry-rose without shading. In 

 deoth, formation, and substance it is faultless. 



White Maman Cochet. Identical to the popular pink variety, 

 except in color which is a creamy white. 



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

 Los Angeles, and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not com- 

 parable to any other variety. 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 illuminates 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. 



W. E. Wallace. Deep golden yellow without shading, very 

 large, full and of exquisite form, freely and abundantly pro- 

 duced, a magnificent garden Rose.
