 TEA ROSE 



CORONET 



Origins ted And Introduced by 

 The Dingee & Conapd Co. 

 'HIS is without exception one 

 of the most magnificent 

 Koses ever seen. It is a true 

 ever-blooming Paul Neyron, and 

 fully as large as that famous 

 variety- It is as sweet as the 

 Rose of Damascus and as pretty 

 as a Peony. It is altogether a 

 (■.ifiVrent type of Kose from any 

 oftl red in tliis book. It is a true 

 ^ f ever-blooming Hybrid Tea Eose, 

 producing continuously, on good 

 stiff stems, magnificent flowers of 

 immense size, which frequently 

 measure four to six inches in diameter. 

 The form is full, deep and wonderfully 

 double. It is full to the center, and when en- 

 tirely open the flowers do not look unlike Peonies, a 

 resemblance that is made the more striking by the 



Ppecuhar color, which is totally unlike any other Rose. In the 

 bud the color is a deep, rich carmine, which, as the flower 

 opens, lightens to a soft, pearly pink, with each petal dis- 

 tinctly edged with silvery gray. The efiect is beautiful. 

 No words will convey an idea of the dehcious fragrance of this 

 - - grand new variety. It is more hke the fragrance of the Damascus 



Rose- -that variety whose fragrance for centmies has been celebrated 

 in sacred script and secular lore. 

 In flower and foliage it resembles Pmd Neijron, while in growth it is 

 ' hke Bon Silene, its seed parent. It is a strong healthy grower, forming a com- 

 pact bush. In the open ground, where it is hardy, it does splendidly, produc- 

 ing its grand flowers throughout the entire season. It requires shght pro- 

 tection during winter in the open ground. For size of flower, fragrance and 

 freedom of bloom, Coronet is a king among Poses. We control the stock of 

 this variety, and the genuine plants can be had only from us.
