HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued. 



*Virginia R. Coxe 



(or Gruss an Teplitz). For intense and dazzling 

 color there is no other Rose to compare with this 

 splendid kind. The flowers are large and handsome, 

 moderately double, of splendid sulxstance, and are 

 produced in amazing profusion during the whole of 

 the growing season; in fact, it is always in bloom. 

 The color is fiery crimson, shaded with a dark vel- 

 vety sheen, a combination found in no other Rose. 



The fragrance of Virginia R. Cox is unexcelled 

 by that of any other variety under cultivation. It is 

 a strong and sturdy grower, oft-en attaining a height 

 of four or five feet, is perfectly hardy in all sections 

 and is one of the finest of the many splendid Roses 

 that have come to us from Europe, and has won 

 friends wherever grown here in America, which is 

 attested to by the fact that the demand increases 

 each season. 



*OLD GOLD — In bud form this Rose appeals to 

 every one on account of its wonderful color, which 

 is entirely distinct from and not found in any other 

 Rose, a vivid orange-red, with coppery-red and 

 apricot shadings, opening bright salmon, and 

 which is further set off by the healthy, glossy, 

 bronze-green foliage; delightfully fragrant; a vig- 

 orous grower and very fre-e-flowering. A great 

 bedder. Awarded gold medal National Rose So- 

 ciety of England. 



♦ROSEMARY— Color the most delightful shade of 

 silvery pink imaginable, and the flowers are abso- 

 lutely double, the petals being thick and heavy, 

 giving it somewhat the appearance of a camellia 

 and entirely distinct from any other variety. 



Virginia R. Coxe 



Radiance 



A glorious new extra-hardy Hybrid Tea Rose 

 which originated a few miles from West Grove. 

 Awarded Silver Medal by the American Rose Society 

 as the best bedding Rose at the Hartford, Conn., 

 gardens this past season. The flowers are a beauti- 

 ful blending of shades of carmine-rose, with opal and coppery 

 reflections. It is of splendid, sturdy growth, constantly in 

 bloom and is bound to become ore of the leading garden 

 Roses. We cannot say too much in its praise. 

 *WINNIE DAVIS— Fine apricot-pink, shading to the flesh 



tint at the base of petals. 

 RENA ROBBINS — This remarkable new Hybrid Tea Rose 

 is one that will create a sensation wherever grown. The 

 flowers are simply immense in size, a beautiful, clear white 

 or tinted lemon, with the color running to a beautiful shade 

 of orange in the center. 

 OLIVIA — A most gorgeous, distinct, extra-hardy Rose of 

 deep, brilliant rose-pink. The flowers are of splendid sub- 

 stance, deep and full double, the buds being particularly 

 handsome in form. For bedding and cutting purposes it has 

 no superior. 

 GEN. ARNOLD JANSSEN— Color a deep glowing carmine. 

 Free bloomer. Buds long and pointed on long, stiff stems. 

 SOUV. DE PRESIDENT CARNOT— Buds very long and 

 pointed; perfection in every line. The delicate rosy-blush 

 color, shaded a trifle deeper at the center of the flower, has 

 not been approached by any later introduction. Fragrant, 

 strong grower and free bloomer; a splendid outdoor Rose.
