New Hybrid-Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit 



Jules Ganjard (Pernet-Ducher, 1928). Distinct and 

 beautiful, the large, well-formed double flowers on 

 first opening are of a glistening cochineal crimson 

 which, as they fully develop, pass to a pretty 

 shade of orange-rose. It is of strong, vigorous, 

 branching habit, very free flowering and a variety 

 that we are convinced will become a greatly ad- 

 mired garden Rose. $75.00 per 100. 



McGredy's Scarlet. (McGredy & Son, 1&30). A new 

 red Rose of marked superiority on account of its 

 strong vigorous growth free and continuous habit 

 of flowering and Its brilliant color. The flowers are 

 of good size, full double of a brilliant scarlet, 

 orangy yellow at base of petals, the upper portions 

 of same being lightly touched with crimson, vary- 

 ing some in color under changing weather condi- 

 tions but always beautiful. $75.00 per 100. 



KonliTlii Linlse (Queen Luise) (Weigand, 1927). An 



exceptionally large, full, globular, well built 

 double white flower that lasts a long time. Of 

 strong vigorous habit of growth with good healthy 

 foliage. The flowers are carried erect on strong 

 stiff stems. A splendid Rose for the garden and for 

 cutting. $75.00 per 100. 



Lady Fortevlot (B. R. Cant, 1928). A garden Rose 

 that we confidently recommend. Large ovoid buds 

 opening to very large, moderately double artistic 

 well lasting flowers of delightful fruity fragrance 

 of a bright golden yellow flushed with cardinal red, 

 borne several together on long strong stems. Growth 

 vigorous, healthy dark green glossy foliage, a hardy 

 continuous bloomer. §75.00 per 100. 



Lady Lieslie (McGredy, 1929). Some modern critics 

 lament the absence of fragrance at the expense 

 of vivid colors, but in the beautifully formed 

 good sized flowers of Lady Leslie we have a combina- 

 tion of sweetest fragrance and brilliancy in coloring. 

 In the early stages the flowers are rosy scarlet 

 which, as they develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine 

 suffused with saffron yellow on a yellow base, a 

 warm glowing color combination particularly in the 

 young state. The plant is of ideal bedding type 

 with free upright bushy growth and healthy dark 

 green foliage. $75.00 per 100. 



Lady Margaret Stewart (Alex. Dickson, 1926). A Rose 

 of unique color, the flowers in the young stage are 

 a deep sunflower-yellow heavily veined and splashed 

 with orange-scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply suf- 

 fused with carmine, as the flowers develop these 

 colors intermingle forming a beautiful cadmium 

 orange effect. The bud is long and pointed, opening 

 to a full double flower of pleasing decorative form 

 of delightfully sweet scent. $40.00 per 100. 



Lord RoBsmore (Dr. J. Campbell Hall, 1928). Globular 

 blooms of great size and of good substance. The 

 outer reflexing petals are creamy yellow and the 

 central mass of petals is variously tinted with sal- 

 mon blush, flesh or pink and of delicate tea scent. 

 The growth is very strong and free with good foli- 

 age. $135.00 per 100. 



Margaret McGredy (McGredy, 1928). We consider this 

 one of McGredy's masterpieces, large, beautifully 

 shaped full double flowers, entirely distinct from all 

 others in its rich coloring which is a brilliant shade 

 of Turkish or Oriental red passing as the flowers 

 age to a beautiful carmine-rose, these are borne on 

 long stiff stems and hold their form and beauty for 

 a long time. $40.00 per 100. 



Marion Cran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination 

 is wonderful. In the young stage the color is deep 

 buttercup-yellow, margined and flushed cerise and 

 rosy-scarlet. As the flower opens the outside of 

 the petals retain their color, while the inner side 

 opens a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed and 

 veined orange and yellow, passing to a deep cerise 

 on bright rosy-scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. 

 The flowers are full, of nice form, and medium 

 size. $50.00 per 100. 



May Wettern (Alex. Dickson, 1928). A magniflcently 

 formed bud and flower of moderate fullness and 

 artistic coloring. The flowers are composed of 

 immense, deep, wide petals of very solid texture, 

 their formation making a beautifully built long 

 bud and high pointed flower, in which the inner 

 face of the petals evolves from a bright salmon 

 pink in the bud to deep flesh pink; then to bright 

 pink in the more developed flower; the outer side 

 passes from deep rose to rosy pink and finally to 

 bright rose, the blending of these tones creating a 

 wonderful color harmony. Free flowering and 

 fragrant. $75.00 per 100. 



Mevronw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A 



marvelously beautiful Rose with a unique color 

 combination not found in any other variety, a most 

 striking blending of dark vivid orange and apricot 

 on a golden yellow ground with frequently touches 

 of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The sweet- 

 scented flowers are very large, of perfect forma- 

 tion both in the bud as well as in the fully devel- 

 oped flower and are produced very freely on vigorous 

 upright growths. $75.00 per 100. 



Miss RoTrena Thorn (Howard & Smith, 1928). In 

 vigorous habit of growth, freedom 'of bloom and 

 in its adaptability to varied climatic conditions, this 

 will prove equal to the popular Radiance Roses, 

 while its flowers in size and form are equal to the 

 best high-class varieties of recent introduction and 

 all of which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. 

 Its buds are long and shapely, opening to perfect 

 double flowers frequently 5 inches across of a bril- 

 liant rose-pink, the base of the petals having a 

 golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers un- 

 fold, adds to the brilliancy of its coloring. $50.00 

 per 100. 



Mme. Henri ^nenllle (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This 

 splendid Rose in the formation of its large, full flow- 

 ers, strong, vigorous, healthy growth and freedom 

 of flowering reminds one of the same raiser's popu- 

 lar bedding variety. Souvenir de Georges Pernet, 

 excepting in color which is much lighter, being a 

 pretty shrimp or coral pink on an orange-copper 

 base. $75.00 per 100. 



Mme. Nicolas Anssel (Pernet-Dmcher, 1931). An out- 

 standing this year's introduction of the late Mr. 

 Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright coppery red in 

 the very long, shapely tapering bud that develops 

 into a large full double flower of an exquisite 

 opalescent salmon pink. Growth vigorous and 

 healthy, free and continuous bloomer. $75.00 per 

 100. 



Monarch (Dobble, 1926). Very large long pointed bud 

 developing into large double high centered flowers, 

 very lasting, of a rich silvery pink color, borne 

 singly on long stout stems. A strong vigorous 

 grower and an abundant continuous bloomer; very 

 hardy. $75.00 per 100.
