Hybrid Tea Roses, 24 Varieties {Continued). 



Docteur Reymont. — This is a very handsome Rose, 

 originated by one of the great Rose growers of Paris, and 

 noted for being a hardy ever-bloomer, which is a very desira- 

 ble class that we do not have many of; it is a continuous 

 bloomer, producing extra-large, very beautiful flowers, some- 

 what flat in form, but very full and regular, almost perfect 

 shape; color bright shining vermilion red; remarkably bril- 

 liant and striking ; reverse of petals elegantly clouded with 

 rich violet crimson ; exceedingly sweet. Excellent for open- 

 ground planting ; reasonably hardy, but requires covering in 

 cold localities. 20 cts. each. 



Docteur Pasteur. — Extra-large, pointed 

 buds, with fine, large globular flowers; color 

 brilliant carmine rose, shading to bronze red ; 

 very handsome. 20 cts. each. 



Esmeialda. — A very lovely Rose; fine, 

 medium-size flowers, very regular 

 and full; color exquisite silvery 

 rose, finely shaded with peach 

 and fawn ; deliciously perfumed. 

 20 cts. each. 



Gustave Regrls. — The Climb- 

 ing Hybrid Teas are compara- 

 tively a new class of Roses not 

 yet extensively disseminated, but 

 worthy of trial in favorable situa- 

 tions. This one is pale canary 

 yellow — sometimes almost pure 

 white — withjust a tinge 



of gold ; the flowersare 

 cup-shaped and semi- 

 double, almost every 

 one showing the centre 



very distinctly when fully open. It is richly scented and very 

 floriferous, and as the plant is evidently a strong healthy 

 grower, it will doubtless make a charming climber where the 

 Winters are not too severe. 20 cts. each. 



Henri Brichard. — The flowers are borne in great profu- 

 sion ; they are of fine, regular form, with narrow imbricated 

 petals ; very full and delightfully tea scented ; color pale rose, 

 or rosy white shaded deep blush, centre deepening to bright 

 carmine; very handsome and beautiful. 20 cts. each. 



Lady Mary Fitzwilliam. — A magnificent English vari- 

 ety; flowers extra large and globular; 

 broad, thick petals; color delicate flesh, 

 elegantly tinged with amber and pale 

 carnation ; very sweet. 20 cts. each. 

 Mad. Alexander Bernaix. — Ex- 

 tra large and fine, full, 

 globular form, very 

 sweet ; color deep clear 

 rose, passing to bright 

 Hj shining pink, some- 

 times with creamy 

 centre ; very beautiful. 

 10 cts. each.

La France. 



La France. — Perhaps no Rose is better known or more 

 highly valued for general planting, both in open ground or 

 under glass, than La France. It is a Hybrid Tea, but usually 

 classed with the Hybrid Perpetuals; very beautiful in form 

 and color ; an early and constant bloomer, producing a won- 

 derful profusion of buds and flowers all through the growing 

 season ; it is exceedingly sweet and handsome, and altogether 

 one of the loveliest and most desirable Roses one can plant ; 



both flowers and buds are of grand size; the color is a 

 lovely shade of peach blossom, changing to amber rose, 

 elegantly tinged with crimson ; delicious tea fragrance, 

 exceedingly sweet, very full and wonderfully beautiful ; com- 

 mences to bloom soon after planting out, and continues 

 until stopped by freezing weather. Moderately hardy, but 

 requiring protection in Winter. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. ; 

 8 for $1.
