Enchantress. 



New Tea Rose. 



Introduced by William Paul & Sons, Waltham Cross, 

 England, whose description we quote : " Flowers creamy 

 white, slightly tinted with buff in the centre ; large, full 

 and globular, the petals slightly recurved at the edges ; 

 of vigorous growth, fine foliage, and great freedom in 

 blooming ; a most distinct and effective Tea Rose, of 

 equal value for exhibition and decorative purposes; a 

 splendid Rose for pot culture and late Autumn and Win- 

 ter blooming. Plants in full bloom exhibited by us at 

 the Royal Horticultural Society's meeting, on Novem- 

 ber 26, 1895, received a Silver Banksian Medal and an 

 Award of Merit, and were universally admired by all 

 visitors present on that occasion."

Queen Mab. 



New China Rose. 



This is another introduction of William Paul & Sons. 

 They say of it : " This variety belongs to the decorative 

 and buttonhole class of Roses, of which Ma Capucine 

 and Madame Laurette Messimy are good examples. It 

 is, however, perfectly distinct from all others, and is 

 much superior in its sturdy habit of growth and the sub- 

 stance of the petals of the flowers, the latter quality en- 

 abling it to last longer when cut than any other Rose we 

 are acquainted with. The color may be described as soft 

 rosy apricot, the centre of flower shaded with orange and 

 the outside tinted with rose and violet; it blooms with 

 extraordinary freedom and is most excellent for garden 

 decoration and for cutting. It has received a Certificate 

 of Merit from the Royal Botanic Society and an Award 

 of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society."

Southern Beauty. 



The Beautiful New Climbing Rose. 



This grand new variety is now offered by us for the 

 first time. We know of no better recommendation we 

 can give it than to say it is the equal of that superb old 

 variety, Gloire de Dijon ; indeed there is a striking 

 resemblance between them in growth and manner of 

 blooming. The flowers are entirely different ; they are 

 large, perfectly double, and in bud cannot be surpassed ; 

 they are sweetly fragrant, and in color rich and distinct 

 — pale amber passing to a shiny salmon. Southern 

 Beauty is a rapid climber and a remarkably free bloomer 

 for a Rose of such great beauty, and we think will prove 

 hardy everywhere with good protection. It should be a 

 magnificent variety in the South, where it will equal 

 Marechal Niel or Gloire de Dijon in every way. This is 

 a lovely Rose, and we ask our customers to try it.

A Grand New Acquisition. 



This splendid new variety, nowon'('r(;(l for the first time, 

 is a sport from that famous Rose, Souv. de Wootton, and 

 is identical with it except that it is a strong, rampant 

 climber, growing in one season to a height of 10 to 15 

 feet, and producing in wonderful profusion its superbly- 

 formed flowers, which are bright magenta red, passing to 

 violet crimson, richly shaded. The flowers are large, 

 full and regular, with thick leathery petals, and deli- 

 ciously tea scented ; makes beautiful buds; as an outdoor 

 climbing fiose it will tak(; front rank, because of its 

 strong growth and freedom of l)loom. A well-developed 

 bush covered with finely made flowers, is beautiful beyond

 cent and valuable new Rose.
