HYBRID-TEA ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING 



MERITORIOUS RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 

 AND GENERAL LIST OF BEST VARIETIES— Continued 



Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. This has quickly found its 

 place among the best bedding Roses. In color it is a two tone 

 yellow, the centre a beautiful apricot-yellow. 



Stuttgart. On the type of Ville de Paris with medium sized, long 



pointed, shapely bud and double, very lasting, moderately 



fragrant, pure yellow flowers borne singly or several together on 



^ long stems. Growth moderate, bushy; foliage rich 



green, a free bloomer throughout the season. 



The Queen Alexandra. A brilliant flower of 



intense vermilion deeply shaded old gold on reverse 



of petals, which spring from a pure orange base, one 



of the most remarkable color Combinations .seen in 



Roses. 



Ville de Paris {City of Paris). A very distinct rich buttercup 

 yellow without a trace of any other color, retaining its rich- 

 ness under all weather conditions. In formation it is some- 

 what similar to Radiance, fairly double and splendid for cutting. 

 Habit, upright, and tall, a profuse bloomer. 



Wilhelm Kordes. "Unique and entirely distinct in coloring; a 

 rich capucine red with coppery suffusion overlying a golden- 

 salmon ground, varying in intensity under different weather 

 conditions, but always beautiful and particularly high colored 

 early in the season and in the autumn. The buds are long and 

 pointed, opening to double high-centred very fragrant flowers. 



William F. Dreer. A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as 

 Los Angeles, and for delicacy of coloring no other variety can 

 compare. The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los 

 Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all stages are at their 

 best in the half expanded flower. These, in expanding, are of a 

 soft, silvery shell pink at certain stages of development, a golden 

 suffusion illuminates the entire flower. 



Willowmere. This splendid Rose is of a coral-red color, suffused 

 with carmine in the bud state, and open to a large, full, hand- 

 some flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre 

 and flushed carmine-pink towards the edges of the petals. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Rev. F. Page Roberts 



Renate. Large, very double globular, creamy white flowers of 

 strong fragrance and very good lasting quality usually produced 

 several on a stem. Growth vigorous and bushy; blooms 

 continuously. 



Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable beauty both in 

 form and color. The long pointed buds are of a coppery-red 

 stained red on the outside and open to good full double fragrant 

 flowers of a golden-yellow particularly high colored in late 

 summer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 

 beautiful foliage. A most distinct variety that has deservedly 

 gained great popularity. 



Rose Marie. One of the best bedding Roses grown, remarkably 

 free-flowering, producing large, long, ideal buds, which develop 

 into full flowers of beautiful form, of a most pleasing clear rose- 

 pink. 



Sensation. Splendid large crimson-scarlet, perfect in its long 

 pointed bud as well as in the fully developed, sweetly scented, 

 double flower. A strong vigorous grower that is particularly 

 brilliant late in the autumn. 



Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. Dickson & Son's 

 introductions. Color orange-rose, overshot with golden-yellow 

 and flushed soft rose, bud of beautiful shape, the open flowers 

 cupped with reflexing outer petals, growth vigorous and free with 

 beautiful foliage. 



Sir David Davis. We do not hesitate to select this as one of 

 the best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep glowing 

 crimson of an even shade throughout. The flowers are of 

 good size, pointed and of good form with large, heavy petals 

 and strongly sweet scented. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower of 

 erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foliage, long 

 pointed buds of exquisite shape, carried on long, stiff stems. 

 Very large, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beauti- 

 fully formed bloom. Color, striking sunflower-yellow, deeper 

 in the centre, without any color blending, and which is 

 retained without fading even in the warmest weather. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. This stands at the head of the 

 list of the many valuable garden Roses that have been produced 

 by Mr. Pernet-Ducher. It is a strong, vigorous grower and pro- 

 duces its large flowers, beautiful in both bud and fully developed 

 bloom, of an intense Oriental red, shading to cochineal carmine 

 at the margin of the petals, the whole being suffused with a 

 golden sheen.
