The Richmond, With Ilk Erect Stems and Pointed and 
Well Shaped Buds, Is a Standard for Greenhouse 
Culture. An Excellent Rose for Outdoor Culture 
Mrs. George Shawyer (H. T.; Lowe & Shawyer, 
1911.) Brilliant rose pink. Almost solid color. 
Large, full and well formed. Highly recom- 
mended for forcing. 
Mrs. Carapbell Hall (T.) Delicate creamy buif, 
edged and au^used rosy carmine. Large, full 
and exquisitely formed. 
Mrs. Charles E. Pearson (H. T.; McGredy, 1913.) 
Orange, flushed red, apricot, fawn and yellow. 
Coloring may be said to be intermediate be- 
tween Lyon and Mad. Edouard Herriot. Buds 
are pointed; open flowers reflexed-globular to 
nearly flat, double and faintly fragrant. 
Growth moderate or rather short. Stems short, 
but strong, carrying flowers finely. Blooms 
freely and has a very high coloring. 
Mrs. Charles Russell (H. T.; Montgomery, 1912.) 
Rosy carmine with scarlet center. One of the 
very best and of American origin. Color is 
brilliant and pleasing. Flower is beautifully 
formed, with petals of wonderful substance. 
The stems could not be better and flowers 
always come singly. Simply grand as a cut 
flower. 
Mrs. Charles Hunter (H. T.; Paul, 1912.) Cerise, 
nearly red. Buds short pointed; open flowers 
have all petals reflexed. Stems carry flowers 
perfectly erect. Very free blooming both spring 
and fall. Growth moderate, freely branching. 
Mrs. Franklin Dennison (H. T.) White, suffused 
with yellow and shading to apricot at base. 
Flowers very large and full, 
^rs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt (H. T.; McGredy, 
; 1913.) Salmon ground, with carmine, yellow 
\ and flesh mixed in. Buds are moderately 
\pointed and open flowers very double, of me- 
dium size and slightly fragrant. Growth mod- 
erate and spreading. Stems short but strong. 
Mri, Herbert Hawksworth (T.; A. Dickson, 1912.) 
Creamy white, light yellow at base. Straw 
cdor in bud. The open flowers are particularly 
be4utiful owing to their unusual globular, cup- 
shaped formation, with tips of petals slightly 
recurved. Fragrance is very sweet. Stems are 
fairy good; flowers nod slightly, 
\ 
Mrs. Myles Kennedy (T.; A. Dickson, 1906.) Deli- 
cate silvery white shaded buff, with pink center. 
Large, full and finely formed, 
Mrs. Sam Ross (H. T.; H. Dickson, 1912.) Flesh, 
suffused salmon and underlaid with buff. Color 
hard to describe, but delicate, unique and very 
pleasing. Flowers cupped, with outer petals 
slightly reflexed. Best in fall. 
Mrs. John Laing (H. P.; Bennett, 1887.) Shell 
pink. Easily one of the best pinks in the H. P. 
class. Flowers are beautifully formed, finely 
colored, extremely fragrant and borne freely 
on strong stems. Splendid for cutting. A 
thoroughly good variety. 
Mrs. R. G. Sharman Crawford (H. P.; A. Dickson, 
1 894. ) Deep rosy pink, tinted pale flesh. 
Flowers large, handsomely formed and borne 
freely. 
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt (H. T.; Hill, 1903.) 
Flesh pink; outer petals creamy white. Open 
flowers large, full and very well formed. Color 
delicate, but is held well. 
Mrs. Wm. H. Cutbush (Dwf. Poly.) Baby Rambler 
habit with pale pink flowers of Dorothy Per- 
kins; blooms in profusion summer and autumn. 
Mrs. Wallace H. Rowe (H. T.; McGredy, 1912.) 
Bright "sweet-pea mauve." So termed by its 
introducer. Shade is very unusual, but runs 
toward pink with us. Flowers of good size and 
well formed. Growth is vigorous. Runs close 
to the H. P. class, 
Nerissa (H. T.; Paul, 1912.) Pink, flushed car- 
mine; buds cream, flushed salmon. Coloring 
resembles Antone Rivoire. Buds sharply short 
pointed; open flowers have high center with 
reflexed outer petals. 
Ophelia (H. T.; Paul, 1912.) Salmon flesh shaded 
rose with chamois center. A rose that is lovely 
at every stage. The buds and flowers are beau- 
tifully formed and colored, enhanced by rich 
veining on the petals. Stems are long and 
carry flowers erect. Could hardly be praised 
too highly, 
Orleans (Poly.) A dwarf variety like Baby 
Rambler, with masses of pink flowers. A 
variety of recent introduction. 
Peachblossom (T.) Yellow at base, shading into 
a beautiful shell pink. Very fragrant. 
Paul Neyron (H. P.; Levet, 1869.) Dark rose. 
The largest rose in cultivation. The buds are 
as large or larger than the best American 
Beauties grown under glass and are borne 
freely in the open ground. As an outdoor rose 
it far excels American Beauty, for which it is 
often mistaken. Growth is strong and vigorous. 
Persian Yellow (Austrian Briar; From Persia, 
1837.) Bright yellow. Small but quite double. 
Foliage faintly scented. Particularly interest- 
ing as being one of the parents of the wonder- 
ful Pernetiana class. 
Pink Gem (Poly.) An improved type of Cecile 
Brunner flowers; a shade more pink. 
Prairie Queen. Color bright pink, sometimes with 
a white stripe. Large, compact and globular; 
very full and double. 
Prima Donna (H. T.) The color is a lovely shade 
of pink, changing to silvery pink; petals un- 
dulated or waved on the edges. Flowers of the 
very largest size, on long strong stems abund- 
antly produced. Its size, fragrance, wonderful 
lasting qualities, freedom of growth and bloom 
and distinctiveness, place it in the very fore- 
front of roses.
