SOME OF THE NEWER 



HYBRID TEA ROSES. 



Of the many types of roses none are 



or useful than hybrid teas 



more popul 



and any deserving new variety tliat blos- 

 M)ms freely and continuously is mive of a 

 welcome. Roses are so mueh employed 

 nowadays for garden decoration -and for 

 supplying cut flowers that many of them 

 which are not suitable for exhibition find 

 a place in even a limited collection^ where 

 they would have had no chance a few years 

 ago. 



Ducliess of Westminster (A. Dickson and 

 SonSj 1911) e^houild be much grown^ Imih 

 as an exhibition and as a garden rose. It 

 is a dainty clear lo-se-madder, with full-sized 

 blooms of splendid shapo. In growtli it is 

 vigorous, erect, and free-flowering. 



A[elody (A. Dickson and Sons, 1911) is 

 deep saffron-yelJow, with lighter edges, 

 strongly perfumed, and very free ; the deep 

 purple wood and rich glossy deep green 

 foliage make a harmonious setting for its 

 blossoms; it is i&aid to he mildew-proof, 

 which, if correct, will be a distinct gain, 

 especially as it is purely a garden rose. 



Dorothy Ratcliffo (McGrecly 1911) is coral 

 red, shaded with yellow and fawn, becoming 

 paler as the flowers exjiand ; a decorative 

 variety of much vakie. 



Lady Katherine Rose (S. Bide and Sons, 

 sk 1911) is -a delicate pink, with riclier mark- 

 sk ings in the petaJs, very shapely, free and 

 vigorous in growth, with a strong perfume. 



Mrs. Amy Hammond (McGrredy, 1911) has 

 a colour blend of ivory, amher, and apricot, 

 and is of good shape, with long->pointed 

 petals : likely to become a good exhibition 

 rose. 



Lady Downe (VV Paul, 1911) prmluces 

 large *ihapely flowers quite late in the 

 autumn ; it is buff, with a deeper centre of 

 yellow, paling with expansion ; it is of 

 strong growtii, and carries its flowers on 

 stiff stems. 



licslie Holland (H. Dickson, 1911), I con- 

 sider to be the finest exliibition variety in- 

 troduced for many years ; it is a deep scar- 

 let-crimson, heavily shaded with deep vel- 

 vety crimson. The large blooms have shell- 

 hke p<^tals, and are quite sweetly perfumed. 

 Lady Reay (B. R. Cant, 1911) should 

 prove to be a really good garden rose ; the 

 ^lour is a deep rich pink in the centre, 

 shading off to a m at her-of -pearl white. 



rount(\s8 of Shaftesbury (Hugh Dickson, 

 ^11) should beconv> a popular exhibition 



as It h:is gond lasting properties, 

 ^olour it is .silvf>ry-<armine, mottled and 

 flushed with pale pink.

Lady Pii-rie (Hugh Dickson, 1910) should 

 become very popular in the garden for 

 massing. The colour is deep coppery, red- 

 dish-salmon, with a flusJi of apricot-yellow 

 inside. 



Portia (W. Paul and Son, 1910) is sure to 

 become a. good exhibition flower ; pale a ose 

 with a flush of yellow when unfolding.
