CUBRANS' LIST OF ROSES, 1909-10. 
“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." 
— Herrick. 
Tea-Scented and Noisette 
Roses. 
Tea-Scented Roses (R. indicata odorata). — Tea Roses are an important 
class, and justly admired for their delicious fragrance and delicate tints of 
colour. For planting out in Conservatories, for forcing, or for pot culture 
under glass, they are unequalled, and with good cultivation a plentiful supply 
of flowers may be had throughout the season. To be successfully grown 
out of doors they must be planted in the warmest and sunniest parts of the 
garden, in a well-drained, light, rich soil, and given an abundant supply of 
water during the hot weather, and slightly protected from frost in severe 
Winter with fern, fir, or furze branches. A sure and safe plan of wintering 
Teas outdoors is to earth up the plants like celery to about 9 inches high, 
removing the soil in April. Prune in April in a similar manner to that 
recommended for II. P.’s and H.T.’s. 
Noisette Roses (R. moschata Noisettiana). — The Noisettes are a class of 
Roses flowering mostly in clusters throughout the Summer and Autumn, 
and are generally very free bloomers. Many make fine Pillar Roses. In 
pruning them the old wood should be thinned out, aud the new wood left 
nearly full length. The vigorous growers are well adapted for Climbing, 
Pillar, or Weeping Roses, flowering freely late in the year. This section, 
like the Teas, is well adapted for pot culture, also for outdoor cultivation in 
favourable situations. 
A NEW RACE. 
(Wichuraiana X Teas.) 
DWARF AND PERPETUAL BLOOMING. 
These new Roses are interesting, as they are the outcome of crossing 
two distinct types, the Wichuraiana and Tea. They are of dwarf habit, 
some of them semi-prostrate, and well adapted for covering the ground 
beneath taller-growing Roses or other plants. 
2006 Agate, small yellow flowers ; dense shining foliage ; dwarf 
prostrate habit ; excellent for an edging or covering the surface 
of the ground. 5/- each.

tive ; very pretty. 5/- each. 
2318 Iceberg, pure white, small ; perfect form, free and continuous ; 
excellent bedding habit. 5/- each.

peting ; free and continuous. 5/- each.
