New Hybrid-Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit 



Dormant Stock for Delivery Winter of 1928-1929 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. W. E. IViekerson 



Mrs. Beatty (Cant & Sons, 1926). An exquisite self- 

 colored light lemon-yellow with the delightful per- 

 fume 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. 

 Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society 

 and Certificate of Merit of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society of England. $7.5.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Beckwith (Pernet-Ducher, 1922). An erect 

 grower of splendid habit, with glossy, light green 

 foliage, long shapely buds, medium sized, full, 

 gracefully shaped flowers of a buttercup yellow, 

 shading lighter at the edges of the petals. $60.00 

 per 100. 



Mrs. C. W. Edwards (McGredy, 1924). Rich rosy-scar- 

 let overlaying 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. 

 975.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Henry Bowles (Chaplin, 1921). Everybody ad- 

 mired the old favorite Mme. Abel Chatenay, for a 

 long time one of the most popular Roses but which 

 has practically disappeared from commerce. In this 

 we have the same pleasing warm color values but 

 in flowers of much greater size. Color a most effec- 

 tive deep salmon-pink and of splendid form. Vig- 

 orous growing and free flowering. .^00.00 per 100. 



Marcla Stanhope (G. Lilley, 1924). A delightfully fra- 

 grant pure white; a good-sized full double flower, 

 line both in the long bud as well as in the fully 

 expanded flower; vigorous and free. .'^100,00 per 

 100, 



Marion Cran (McGredy & Sons, 1927). Messrs. McGredy 

 say of this novelty: "The color combination is the 

 most wonderful we have yet seen in any rose." In 

 the young stage before the flowers expand the color 

 is deep buttercup-yellow, margined and flushed 

 cerise and rosy-scarlet. As the flower opens the 

 outside of the petals retain their color, while the 

 inner side opens a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed 

 and veined orange and yellow; as the flowers age 

 the color changes to a deep ceri.se on bright rosy- 

 scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. The whole flower 

 glows and has a wonderful sheen and when fully 

 open the color combination is delightful. The 

 flowers are full, of nice form, and medium to fairly 

 large in size. The habit is bushy, free, and upright, 

 making a magnificent bush; one of the freest and 

 most perpetual flowering garden and bedding roses. 

 $XOO.CO per ICO. 



Mme. Alexander Dreiix (Soupert & Notting, 1921). 

 While not a large flower it has become prominent 

 as a winter cut flower on account of its distinct 

 brilliant color and pretty shaped buds of a brilliant 

 coppery golden-yellow and which develop into high 

 centred full flowers with reflexed petals of deep 

 yellow splashed with orange. It has also proven 

 desirable as a garden Rose of vigorous, compact free- 

 flowering habit. $00.00 per 100. 



Mme. Henri Qneuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This 

 might correctly be described as a light colored form 

 of the same grower's popular variety Souvenir de 

 Georges Pernet which it resembles in the forma- 

 tion of its flowers as well as in habit of growth, 

 but in color it is a pretty shrimp or coral pink on 

 an orange coppery base, vigorous and free. $150.00 

 per 100. 



.Hrs. A. R. Barraclou^sh. (McGredy & Son, 1927). Un- 

 questionably one of the finest Roses ever sent out. 

 Pink sounds uninteresting In a new Rose, there 

 being so many of this shade, but in this new variety 

 we have a most distinct and valuable addition of a 

 bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of an even 

 shade passing to yellow at the base of the petals. 

 The color does not fade as the flower ages, but 

 appears to become brighter. The bud is long and 

 perfect and develops into a full double flower of 

 great size, most perfect form and substantial sub- 

 stance; very fragrant. $100.00 per 100.
