This is without exception one 

 of the most magnificent Roses 

 ever seen. It is a true ever-bloom- 

 ing Paul Neyron, and fully as large 

 as that famous variety. The flowers 

 measure four to six inches across, and 

 it blooms continuously. It is as sweet as 

 the Rose of Damascus and as pretty as a Peony. It 

 is altogether a different type of Rose from any 

 offered in this book. Entirely different in every way from 

 our famous new variety, Helen Gould. It is a true ever- 

 blooming Hybrid Tea Rose, producing in unbroken conti- 

 nuity, on good stiff stems, immense flowers of magnificent 

 size, which, as stated above, frequently measure six inches 

 in diameter. The form is full, deep and wonderfully double. 

 It is full to the centre, and when entirely open the flowers 

 do not look unlike Peonies, a resemblance that is made 

 the more striking by the peculiar color, which is totally unlike 

 any Rose in existence. In the bud the color is a deep, rich 

 carmine, which, as the flower opens, lightens to a soft, pearly pink, 

 with each petal distinctly edged with silvery gray. The effect is 

 beautiful. 



No words will convey an idea of the delicious fragrance of this 

 grand new variety. It is more like the fragrance of the Damascus 

 Rose — that variety whose fragrance for centuries has been celebrated 

 in sacred script and secular lore. 



In flower and foliage it resembles Paid Neyro7i, while in growth it 

 IS like Bon Silene, its seed parent. It is a strong, healthy grower, forming a compact bush. 

 In the open ground, where it is hardy, it does splendidly, producing its grand flowers 

 throughout the entire season. It requires slight protection during winter in the open ground. 

 For immensity and size of flower, fragrance and freedom of bloom. Coronet is a king among 

 Roses. AVe control the stock of this variety, and the genuine plants can be had only 

 from us.
