New Hybrid Tea Roses 



New Roses, particularly tliosr dl' liumpran origin, occasionally prove disappointing under our 

 conditions. No Rose will attain its Ixst during its first, or even second, season: so it is obviously 

 unfair to condemn it by its early bcha\ ior. In our trials, which are severe, \\c sometimes relegate a 

 newcomer to the "unfits," only to lind it, when thoroughly established, a reliable variety. On tiie 

 other hand, a new Rose may command unusual attention during its test period and de\elop some 

 undesirable trait or weaicncss at a later piTitid. These an-, ot course, rare excej^tions. 



Before offering a Rose t.i our iialioiis, we lii\arial)I\ a'^su^e ourselves first that it is of more than 

 ordinary merit, either b\ a se\eie tilai or trcmi mlorniatmn that is thoroughly reliable. Considering 

 the great number of varieties sent out each season, we feel that this rigid selection, which is both ex- 

 pensive and painstaking, is fully iustified, w hen re\ iew ing the number of new Roses we have offered 

 which are now standard varieties.

This new Rose is a sport from the well-known variety. Sunburst. It is distinct from the parent in 

 every way, except in plant and foliage. It is a big Rose, longer in petal, and the finislied flower is decid- 

 edly larger. The ground-work is a deep, golden yellow, shading to a]jr ient-oraiijie at tlie ecl<j;es of the 

 petals. This ground-color is suffused with delicate pink, ^i\in^ a ^^lonoiis tone tci the flower which 

 is distinct and cliarniing. It is a glorified Sunburst and, like tiiat \ ariety, will full\ merit the confldence
