Garden & Old- Fashioned Roses. 
W E have again been most successful in our exhibits of Garden Roses at the National Rose 
Society’s and Royal Horticultural Shows during the season, proving that our collection of 
these popular varieties is a unique one. For thirty years past we have kept good our stock of the 
old-fashioned and botanical varieties of Roses which have of late years come so much into favour, 
and when to these are added the many beautiful novelties recently introduced, it is in this section 
that will now be found the most showy and useful Roses for garden decoration and growing for cut 
flowers.
