WHOLESALE LIST 



New Hybrid -Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Rev. F. Page Roberts 



Miss Rowena Thorn (Howard & Smith, 1928). In 

 vigorous habit of growth, freedom of bloom and 

 in its adaptability to varied climatic conditions, 

 this will prove equal to the popular Radiance Roses, 

 while its flowers in size and form are equal to the 

 best high-class varieties of recent introduction and 

 all of which it will outclass in freedom of flower- 

 ing. Its buds are long and shapely, opening to per- 

 fect double flowers frequently 5 inches across of a 

 brilliant rose-pink, the base of the petals having a 

 golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers un- 

 fold, adds to the brilliancy of its coloring. $125.00 

 per 100. 



Padre (B. R. Cant, 1920). Most attractive and novel 

 in coloring, with long petals of a coppery scarlet 

 flushed with yellow at the base. Growth strong and 

 upright and exceedingly free-flowering. A remark- 

 ably beautiful bedding Rose. .500.00 per 100. 



Patience (McGredy & Sons, 1927). One of the finest 

 Roses of very recent introduction. Its splendid 

 long pointed buds are of a deep scarlet carmine 

 opening to large fragrant double perfect blooms 

 that shade from orange at the base of the petals to 

 rich carmine at the edges. It is of strong robust 

 habit with glossy holly-like foliage and extremely 

 free flowering for a rose of its large size. $125.00 

 per 100. 



Pink Pearl (Leenders & Co., 1924). A dainty variety 

 always admired destined to become a universal 

 favorite if it had nothing to recommend it but its 

 delicious fragrance. In color it is a brilliant rich 

 cerise pink the base of the petals touched with 

 gold that lights up the flower wonderfully, particu- 

 larly in the half expanded bloom. The flowers are 

 full double, of perfect form and produced most pro- 

 fusely on plants of vigorous, healthy growth.

Rapture (Traendly & Schenck, 192G). A sport of that 

 favorite variety Mme. Butterfly with deeper tinted 

 flowers and of more vigorous habit of growth. 

 Free flowering and richly perfumed. $75.00 per

Mrs. J. Heath (McGredy, 1924). In the bud stage this 

 is so beautifully shaded and splashed with crimson- 

 red, madder-red orange and running off to maize- 

 yellow at the points making it absolutely indescrib- 

 able, as the flowers expand the outer petals shade 

 off to maize-yellow tinted peach red while

 buds are long pointed, the flowers full, large 

 and of perfect form and slightly scented. 

 $75.00 per 100.

 a deep coppery salmon at base merging to salmon- 

 pink at the tips. The developed flowers are also 

 salmon-pink, deepening towards the centre. De- 

 lightfully tea scented. ."560.00 per 100. 

 Mrs. Redford (S. McGredy & Sons, 1919). One of the 

 most distinctive and desirable Roses of recent intro- 

 duction. Bright apricot-orange, one of the mosi 

 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-bloom-

 strong, healthy grower, with long, pointed buds

 it is a two-tone-pink, the reverse of the petals, a soft 

 light-pink, the interior, deep, flesh color. An excep- 

 tionally free and continuous bloomer. $00.00 per 

 100. 



Mrs. W. E. Nickerson (McGredy, 1927). An extremely 

 vigorous growing very free-flowering Rose of the 

 duatone Pernetiana type. The splendidly-formed 

 buds are of an entrancing new color, the exterior 

 of the petals heavily veined with rose d'or and 

 shaded orange cadmium, the interior a deep 

 chrome-yellow on the lower half vein out and pass 

 to a warm rich rosy-salmon. $75.00 per 100.
