HYBRID-TEA ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING 



MERITORIOUS RECENT INTRODUCTIONS AND GENERAL 

 LIST OF BEST VARIETIES 



The Roses offered on this and the following pages represent the best standard well tried varieties, all of them sorts that have been 

 thoroughly tested and which we unhesitatingly recommend to the large and small planter; not as the most extensive but what we believe 

 is the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose-loving American public. 



Duchess of Wellington. Long shapely buds, with petals of 

 great substance, color an intense saffron-yellow stained deep 

 crimson, delightfully fragrant and very free flowering. 



Duchess of York. Good sized well formed double flowers 

 of distinct and unique coloring; a pretty shade of tangerine- 

 orange with rose suffusion, passing to golden rose-pink as the 

 flowers develop. A good free flowering garden variety. 



Edel. An enormous bold, stately, well built flower of great 

 depth, quality and finish. Color, white with the faintest ivory 

 shading towards the base. 



Elegante. Long sulphur yellow buds developing into large 

 full creamy-yellow flowers, a strong vigorous grower and very 

 free flowering, producing very fine flowers even during most 

 unfavorable hot summer weather. 



Elizabeth of York. Beautifully formed long pointed buds of a 

 glowing cerise-red with yellow suffusion at the base; the petals 

 as they unfold spread widely with a splendid reflex ultimately 

 showing the stamens. An artistic, dainty, delicately colored 

 flower. 



Ethel James. One of the most artistic of the single-flowering 

 Hybrid-Teas. Very large, sweetly scented, flowers opening out 

 in salver form, of a deep carmine flushed with orange. 



Etoile de Feu. Very distinct and attractive large substantial 

 globular buds expanding to large, cupped, full to centre flowers, 

 of a rich flaming orange-pink with flame colored shadings, borne 

 profusely throughout the season, the plant is of vigorous free 

 habit with attractive glossy foliage. 



Etoile de Hollande. A strong vigorous healthy grower and 

 free bloomer which like the popular Radiance Roses^ improves in 

 vigor from year to year. It is a continuous bloomer with large, 

 moderately double flowers that are particularly attractive in the 

 half-blown state. In color a brilliant crimson red. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Angele Pernet 



Angele Pernet. Distinct in color, a rich, vivid, coppery- 

 orange-yellow in which it is not approached by any other Rose. 

 Its buds are long, opening to semi-double cupped fragrant 

 flowers. An indispensable variety that you will love for its 

 wonderful color. 



Betty. Produces blooms of marvelous beauty, particularly so in 

 the autumn. Color glowing coppery-rose, suffused with a golden 

 sheen. 



Betty TJprichard. A pretty combination of colors, inner face of 

 petals delicate salmon-pink to carmine, outside glowing carmine 

 with coppery sheen and orange suffusion; well-formed medium 

 sized flowers of good substance and sweet scented. 



Caroline Testout. One of the most popular and valuable 

 bedding varieties; large, full globular flowers of bright satiny 

 rose, with brighter centre, very free and fragrant. The Rose 

 that made Portland, Oregon, famous as the Rose City. 



Columbia. Of strong, vigorous habit and exceptionally free 

 blooming. The flowers are perfect in form. Color a most 

 pleasing shade of rose-pink and delightfully fragrant. 



Constance. A free-flowering variety, producing beautiful long 

 orange-yellow buds, more or less streaked with crimson; as they 

 develop they open to a full globular flower of golden-yellow. 



Cuba. As a bedding Rose for brilliant mass effect we know of 

 nothing that will equal this French introduction and although 

 the flowers are semi-double, they possess a charm and brilliancy 

 in color which is an entirely new tone in Roses, a glorious bright 

 vermilion-scarlet overlying an orange ground. 



Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds developing into wonderful 

 flowers of immense size are produced singly on well-foliaged 

 strong canes. The flowers are composed of very substantial 

 broad petals which curl back prettily forming a glorious long 

 pointed bud and a full double flower which is beautiful in every 

 stage of development. Color a brilliant yet soft Rose du Barri 

 pink; strongly sweet-scented. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Dame Edith Helen
