New Hybrid-Tea Rose. Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem 



Lady Leslie (McGredy, 1929). Of rich brilliant color- 

 ing, particularly in the young state. The large, 

 long-pointed buds and double high-centered flowers 

 which are intensely fragrant and long lasting, in 

 the early stages are rosy-scarlet which, as they 

 develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine suffused with 

 saffron yellow on a yellow base. $60.00 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 

 suffused with carmine, as the flowers develop these 

 colors intermingle forming a beautiful cadmium 

 orange effect. The bud is long and pointed, open- 

 ing to a full double flower of pleasing decorative 

 form of delightfully sweet scent. $60.00 per 100. 



Lucie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Very long 

 pointed buds, deep yellow splashed with red. As 

 the outer petals unfold, the inner face is yellow 

 with coppery venation, with the tips of the petals 

 lightly tipped with pink, slightly fragrant. It is of 

 strong, vigorous healthy habit of growth with 

 dark-leathery foliage. A most distinct and inter- 

 esting bedding variety. $75.00 per 100. 



Lneile Rand (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). A splendid large 

 flower; in color a lively bright rose-carmine; deli- 

 cately sweet scented. Its size and formation re- 

 minds of Dame Edith Helen but unlike that variety 

 it is an exceptionally strong vigorous grower and 

 a free continuous bloomer throughout the season. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



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

 formed bud and flower of moderate fullness and 

 artistic coloring. The flowers are composed of im- 

 mense, 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. $50.00 per 100. 



Mevrouw 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 

 formation both in the bud as well as in the fully 

 developed flower and are produced freely on vigor- 

 ous upright growths. $60.00 per 100. 



Mine. Nicholas Aussel (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). In a 

 contest at Lyon, Prance, Sept. 15th, 1931, was voted 

 an award of a Gold Medal as The Most Beautiful 

 Rose in France. An outstanding introduction of 

 the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright cop- 

 pery 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 (Dobbie, 1926). Very large long pointed 

 buds developing into large double high centered 

 flowers, very lasting, of a rich silvery pink color, 

 borne singly on long stout stems. A strong vigor- 

 ous grower and an abundant continuous bloomer; 

 very hardy. $60.00 per 100. 



Mrs. John Bell (John Bell, 1928). A Rose of excep- 

 tional merit, of a most attractive vivid shade of 

 cochineal carmine, with large long pointed shapely 

 buds and very large full double cupped fragrant 

 flowers borne singly on good stems. Growth moder- 

 ate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage and 

 a profuse bloomer. A variety that is certain to be- 

 come popular and which will displace all others of 

 a similar shade of color. $60.00 per 100. 



Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the 

 Ophelia type that will become a general favorite. 

 Buds long and of perfect shape, the centre golden 

 yellow passing to a tender flushed pink towards the 

 edges; as the large full fine flowers develop the 

 golden base comes well up on the petals, the outer 

 petals pass to a creamy white with just the faintest 

 touch of pink. A strong healthy grower and free 

 bloomer. Sweetly scented. $75.00 per 100. 



Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). The petals are 

 orange yellow on the outside, with a rich cerise 

 flush that deepens towards the edge, and inside 

 there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet-cerise on 

 an orange ground, the blend of colors giving a 

 warm tone to the whole flower, which is of moder- 

 ate size, good form and thick texture of petal. 

 The flowers are very freely and continuously pro- 

 duced and are fragrant. A Rose that has only to 

 be seen to be admired. $60.00 per 100.
