New Irish Hybrid Tea Roses 



The varieties described below are the more recent 

 introductions of Messrs. Samuel McGredy and Son, of 

 Portadown, Ireland. The varieties marked 1925 and 

 1926 are introductions of the past two years and are 

 offered exclusively by us this season in the United 

 States and Canada. 



The Messrs. McGredy are the originators of many of 

 the prominent popular Roses grown in our gardens at 

 this time. 



Doris Traylor (1924). Buds of splendid form, long and 

 pointed, opening to moderately full flowers, sweetly 

 scented. Color, imperial pink flushed crimson and 

 orange; the coloring is intensified by the golden 

 base of the petals, which gives the flowers a golden 

 suffusion which is difficult to convey. Growth vig- 

 orous and very free-flowering. $1.25 each. 



Lord Charleinont (1922). Although introduced some 

 four years since, this beautiful variety is still very 

 scarce. It is the most gorgeous and brilliant Rose 

 we have, with flowers of the most intense clear 

 crimson-scarlet deepening to carmine-crimson, with 

 almost black shadings, with perfectly shaped, long 

 pointed buds and large, full double, sweetly scented 

 flowers. Free growing and free flowering. A splen- 

 did Rose of exceptional richness and beauty and 

 which attracted more attention in our trial beds in 

 the summer of 1926 than any other one variety. 

 Unfortunately it is subject to black spot in un- 

 favorable seasons, but in spite of this it should be 

 included in every collection. $2.00 each. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclongrh (1926). Unquestionably one of 

 the finest Roses Messrs. McGredy have ever sent 

 out, and winner of a Gold Medal of the National 

 Rose Society of England. 



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 flowers are full 

 double, of great size and substance and of perfect 

 form, with petals that are beautifully reflexed and 

 of good texture. The plant is of free branching 

 habit, strong', vigorous and free-flowering; very 

 fragrant. $2.00 each. 



Mrs. C. W. Edwards (1924). Rich rosy-scarlet over- 

 laying an orange ground, the base of the petals 

 prettily zoned citron-yellow which runs in faint 

 veinings into the higher colors; a novel color com- 

 bination. Strong, vigorous habit of growth; very 

 free-flowering, with large, full, fragrant flowers. 

 $1.25 each. 



Mrs. Talbot O'Farrell (1926). A pretty shaped, me- 

 dium-sized bud, and flowers of moderate petalage. 

 The outside of the petals lemon-yellow fiushed and 

 splashed deep cerise to crimson; the inside is deep 

 cerise heavily flushed and veined orange-yellow and 

 bronze, all the colors blending and mingling in 

 pretty combination. A moderate grower; sweet 

 scented. $2.00 each. 



Hybrid-tea Rose, Norman Lainbert 



IVorman Lambert (1926). The formation and size of 

 the flowers reminds one of Golden Emblem but with 

 a distinct color combination that is novel. The out- 

 side of the petals is a deep chrome-yellow with a 

 marginal color effect of brilliant orange-scarlet 

 merging to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the 

 inside salmon-orange suffused bronze, shading to 

 yellow at the base. The flowers are of medium size 

 and form with petals of good texture, delightfully 

 fragrant and exceptionally free-flowering. $1.50 

 each. 



Sir David Davis (1926). Color, an unfading deep 

 glowing crimson of an even shade throughout run- 

 ning to light yellow at the base of the petals. The 

 flowers are of good size, pointed and of good form 

 with large, heavy petals, exceptionally free-flower- 

 ing and strongly sweet scented. $1.25 each. 



Victor Waddilove (192.5). Beautiful long buds of P 

 rich brilliant salmon-orange with intense carmine 

 suffusion, large double flowers of splendid form; a 

 strong but compact grower, exceptionally free-flow- 

 ering and delightfully scented. $1.50 each.
