This Year's New Hybrid -Tea Roses 



Novelties and Varieties of Recent Introduction 

 New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. J. D. Eisele (Howard & Smith, 1933) 



See Illustration Back Cover of This Catalogue 

 Granted United States Plant Patent Number 67 



The buds, the expanding flowers as well as the fully developed blooms of this Rose are absolutely perfect 

 in every stage of development. This is due to the unfurling petals of the long pointed buds which are 

 arranged in spiral form, reflexing as they unfold giving the fully developed flower, which is from five to six 

 inches in diameter, a most perfect camellia-like formation. 



Aside from its beautiful shape it is a Rose of exceptional keeping qualities, the cut blooms lasting fully 

 a week in good condition. 



Color: In color it is a luscious shade of cherry-rose overlaid with a scarlet glow, this brilliancy being 

 particularly intense and lustrous under artificial light. An unusual feature in the coloring in the open 

 flower and w^hich adds grace and distinction is that the tip of each of the many gracefully placed petals has 

 just the faintest silvery thin wire-like lacing. 



Fragrance: We have in this Rose the most delightful fragrance (an important factor that is lacking 

 in many other good varieties), to such an extent that only a few flowers in a vase will serve to permeate the 

 entire atmosphere of the room with their sweet fruity odor, resembling that of the noted old Tea Roses 

 of fifty years ago. 



Growth strong, vigorous, erect, of branching habit, very free and a continuous bloomer.
