GENERAL LIST OF HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



S)ir 



i 



Mrs. William C. Egan. An extremely vigorous strong healthy 

 grower, with long, pointed buds of absolutely perfect form, that 

 develop into flowers of good shape. In color it is a two-tone 

 pink, the reverse of the petals a soft light pink, the interior 

 deep flesh color; the flowers are carried on long, stiff stems, an 

 exceptionally free and continuous bloomer. 



Mrs. Wemyss Quin. Deep lemon-chrome, shading lighter, as 

 the flower expands, outer petals tinged crimson-orange; very 

 striking, free flowering. 



Nederland. A particularly good deep glowing red, splendid 

 buds opening to very large well formed flowers on long stems, 

 fine for cutting, vigorous and free. 



Ophelia. A variety which has made such a record for itself that 

 qualifies it to be classed with the very best, a Rose that is admired 

 by everyone; its flowers are held erect on long stiff stems, are of 

 perfect form, good size, and of a most pleasing delicate tint of 

 salmon-flesh, shaded with rose, very floriferous. 



Padre. One of the finest bedding Roses. Its color is a brilliant 

 coppery scarlet flushed with yellow at the base, a brUliant color 

 combination, while the fully, developed flowers are only semi- 

 double they are of unusual formation and attractive in all stages. 

 One of the freest flowering Hybrid-Tea varieties. 



Pax Labor. A strong vigorous grower with large full light 

 yellow flowers passing to sulphur-yeUow as they develop, 

 particularly good in the autumn. 



Premier. Brilliant rich deep pink flowers of large size and full form borne singly on 

 long stiff stems, fragrant. A particularly good late summer and fall variety. 



President Cherioux. A beautiful Rose, a pretty shade of prawn-red and salmon- 

 pink shaded with yellow, large, full, perfectly shaped, globular flowers and very 

 free blooming. 



Queen of Fragrance. Flowers large, double and of elegant graceful shape and 

 freely produced throughout the season. The color is a beautiful shell-pink, tipped 

 with silver, bright and pleasing. An outstanding quality of this beautiful Rose is its 

 powerful and delicious fragrance. 



Radiance. An ideal bedding Rose that continues to produce its 

 large flowers throughout the most unfavorable hot summer 

 weather when frequently many other varieties fail; in color a 

 brilliant carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and yellow shadings 

 at the base of the petals, truly a Rose for everj' garden. 



Ked Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance from which it 

 is a "sport," possessing all of the good traits of that valuable 

 variety but differing in color which is a bright cerise-red. 



Reims. Large flowers of very regular and perfect form, petals 

 round, very large, imbricated like a Camellia. Color flesh 

 white, yellow at base, centre bright nankin shaded orange- 

 apricot, vigorous habit and very free flowering. 



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

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

 into ftdl flowers of beautiful form, of a most pleasing clear 

 rose-pink. 



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

 introductions of 1924, which was awarded the gold medal of the 

 National Rose Society of England. Color orange-rose, overshot 

 with golden-yeUow and flushed soft rose, bud of beautiful shape, 

 the open flowers cupped with reflexing outer petals, growth 

 vigorous and free with beautiful foliage, a sweetly scented 

 Rose of exceptional merit. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pemet. 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, fuU flowers with elongated deep petals, a beauti- 

 fully formed bloom. Color most 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 Pemet. This variety stands at the head 

 of the list of the many valuable garden Roses that have been 

 produced by Mr. Pemet-Ducher. It is a strong, vigorous grower 

 and produces its large flowers which are beautiful in both

Hybrid-tea Rose.

bud and fully developed bloom, which are of an intense oriental 

 red, shading to cochineal carmine at the margin of the petals, 

 the whole being suffused with a golden sheen. 



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. 



Souvenir de George Beckwith. A variety that is meeting 

 with much favor, flowers verj' large, globular and full double, 

 with petals of good substance. Color shrimp pink, tinted chrome 

 yellow shading deeper at the base of the petals, the various 

 shades blending very harmoniously, moderately fragrant. 



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 combina- 

 tions seen in Roses. The flowers are quite full and when half 

 blown are bewildering in their beauty, delightfully sweet-scented. 



Una Wallace. In color quite distinct from any other Rose, a 

 beautiful soft, even toned cherry-rose without shading. In 

 depth, formation, and substance it is faultless. 



White Maman Cochet. Identical to the popular pink variety, 

 except in color which is a creamy white. 



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

 Los Angeles, and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not com- 

 parable to anj' other variety. 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 sheU-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 opens to a large, fuU, hand- 

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

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



W. E. Wallace. Deep golden yellow without shading, very 

 large, full and of exquisite form, freely and abundantly pro- 

 duced, a magnificent garden Rose.
