New Hybrid-Tea Rose, James Gibson 



Heinrich Eggers (W. Kordes, 1928). Well shaped long spiral 

 buds and large bold full double high centered flowers of perfect 

 shape. Color an orange tinted pink with yellow shadings at 

 base. Very strong free flowering habit. $1.50 each. 



Hilda (Cant & Son, 1928). Large globular bud and very large 

 extremely double, very lasting, slightly fragrant flowers of 

 a bright carmine, the inner petals shading to light pink, usually 

 borne several together on long stems. Growth very vigorous, 

 free and continuous bloomer. §1.50 each. 



Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). A novelty which on 

 account of its coloring and its perfectly formed large double 

 flower, will please every Rose lover. The ovoid buds when first 

 unfolding are cardinal-red with orange suffusion and develop 

 into very large, full double very perfect blooms that last in good 

 shape and which are of a pretty salmon-cerise color suffused with 

 a luminous golden sheen. The plant is a strong vigorous upright 

 grower and exceptionally free flowering. §1.50 each. 



Ivanhoe (Easlea, 1928). Large long pointed bud and large high 

 centered, long lasting, intensely fragrant, brilliant scarlet to 

 rich crimson-scarlet flower, borne several together on medium 

 stems; foliage glossy; grow-th vigorous; a free, continuous 

 bloomer and hardy. §1.50 each. 



Ivy May (Beckwith & Son, 1925). One of the most attractive 

 varieties of Ophelia type. Color a pretty rose pink running to 

 amber at the base, flushed with gold on the outside and at the 

 edges of the petals; glowing and sparkling. Buds of medium 

 size, long pointed and shapely, opening to fairly double, well- 

 formed, sweetly-scented flowers on long strong stems. Habit 

 vigorous and upright; a very free and continuous bloomer. A 

 splendid garden Rose and a beautiful cut-flower. §1.50 each. 



I. Zingari (J. H. Pemberton, 1925). The most vivid shade of 

 orange scarlet that one can picture, rich and glowing; while 

 the flowers are only semi-double it always attracts attention on 

 account of its rich color and is worthy of a place in every garden. 

 It blooms profusely and continuously. §1.00 each. 



James Gibson (McGredy & Son, 1928). A glorious glowing 

 crimson-scarlet with velvety sheen, imparting a lustrous radi- 

 ance to the large, full beautifully formed flowers of which every 

 bloom develops to perfection. Its habit of growth is as near 

 perfect as could be desired, being free, bushy, upright and vigor- 

 ous and the flowers which are borne profusely all the season, are 

 carried erect on long stems. §1.50 each. 



J. C. Thornton (Bees, 1926). A most brilliant bright glowing 

 scarlet crimson with buds of exquisite form and fine, full, well- 

 shaped high-centered flowers of great substance, borne singly on 

 long strong stems; of vigorous, free, growth. §1.50 each. 



Joan Cant (Cant, 1929). Reminds in form of the old favorite 

 Abel Chatenay. Buds very large, long pointed, opening to very 

 large, full double, well-formed, long lasting, intensely fragrant 

 flowers of a pretty shade of salmon pink at the centre, shading 

 brighter on the outside of the petals; the flowers are borne 

 on long strong stems. A strong vigorous bushy grower, a profuse 

 continuous bloomer. §2.00 each. 



Joanna Hill (J. H. Hill Co., 1928). Has gained a well merited 

 reputation as a winter cut flower and is equally valuable for the 

 garden. The buds are large, long pointed and open to large, 

 full, semi-double, attractive, long lasting, moderately fragrant 

 flowers of a clear yellow with orange yellow heart. They are 

 borne singly on long strong stems; growth vigorous, upright, a 

 profuse bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Jules Gaujard (Pernet-Ducher, 1928). Distinct and beautiful, 

 the large, well-formed double flowers on first opening are of a 

 glistening cochineal crimson which, as they fully develop, pass 

 to a pretty shade of orange-rose. It is of strong, vigorous, 

 branching habit, very free flowering and a greatly admired 

 garden Rose. §1.50 each.
