HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 



Columbia The Gem of the Garden 



This is one of the most impressive, and one of the most popular roses since the 

 introduction of the glorious American Beauty. It is an extremely profuse 

 bloomer — as free a bloomer as the Teas, especially in the cooler seasons, for 

 the plant is a strong grower and is made up chiefly of flower stems. The color 

 is a deep peach pink, deepening into a glowing pink, a perfect color. Handsome, 

 firm buds are -borne on long, stiff stems well above the foliage, and open 

 into very large somewhat flat flowers of good substance, 

 splendid lasting quality, and of delightful fragrance. 

 Heavy, healthy foliage. A very hardy rose, requiring 

 slight protection in the colder climes. The blooms are 

 sometimes imperfect in extreme heat. For 

 the amateur, this rose is almost perfect, and 

 should be in all gardens. 



r W. Freeland Kendrick (Originally called Bloom- 

 field Endurance). Type, La France. Bud medium 

 size, ovoid, flesh- white; flowers, large, slightly 

 globular, very double, full, very lasting, fragrant, 

 flesh deepening to peach in center, borne singly 

 and several together on medium-length, strong 

 stem. Foliage abundant, dark green, leathery, 

 glossy, disease resistant. Very vigorous, semi- 

 climber (5 ft. in Pa.). Profuse, continuous bloom- 

 er. Very hardy. 



City of Little Rock. Distinct and beautiful in color, a bright 

 rosy pink or rose shaded with Hydrangea pink. The buds 

 which open perfectly are long of ideal form. Splendid 

 grower and free bloomer. Delightfully fragrant. 



Florence Pemberton. Distinctive creamy white, shaded 

 rose; petals bordered rosy salmon; flowers large, very 

 full and beautifully formed. Constantly in bloom.

 Gentlemen : 



I am writing to tell you how pleased I am 

 with the Roses and shruhs I ordered from you 

 this spring. I ordered two year old Roses and 

 shrubs and after I set the Roses every one of them 

 froze down almost to the ground, tho I had protected 

 them with straw, but they all came out and have been 

 lovely this summer. I don't believe I have ever seen 

 anything that can beat the three Gochet Roses I have. 

 My two year old white one has had as many as 

 twelve Roses and buds on it at one time and they are 

 never without bloom, and to say the PSew Columbia 

 is beautiful, does not tell half of it. 



Yours truly, Mrs. Ralph Railey
