New Garden Roses. 
The following are the most distinct of the many beautiful new varieties of Garden Roses 
recently introduced— Purity, Ards Rover, and Psyche, as Climbing and Pillar varieties ; and Cooling’s 
Single Crimson Bedder, Souvenir de Catherine Guillot, and Sunrise as Bedding Roses are especially 
valuable. 
ARDS ROVER ( A . Dickson Sr Sons), a most distinct and valuable addition to climbing and pillar roses ; 
colour crimson shaded maroon, producing large flowers of great substance.— Each 2s. 6d. 
®®0*"*NG’S SINGLE CRIMSON BEDDER, a beautiful new single rose which flowers throughout 
the season, and is we believe the first perpetual flowering single rose yet introduced ; colour glowing crimson, 
flowers of large size and produced in clusters, and lasting a long time in the cut state ; it is of compact habit, 
and for bedding or cutting this new garden rose is a great acquisition.— Each is. 6d.; per doz. 15s. 
DELICATA ( Cooling Sr Sons), an exceedingly pretty and distinct new Rugosa, clear soft rose coloured 
flowers of good size and double, blooming continuously and in clusters, and delicately perfumed ; has been much 
admired by all who have seen it.— Each is. 6d. 
DAWN (Paul Sr Son). Hybrid Tea ; a beautiful new rose which has been shown in fine condition ; it 
is described by the raisers as a seedling from Caroline Testout, crossed with a Bourbon, producing large semi- 
double flowers of tenderest rosy pink colour, shot with silvery rose, pretty in the bud; the foliage is bright 
green, and it will form bushes 6 feet high ; it is very free in flowering; it thus combines all the good qualities 
of the Bourbons and Hybrid Teas. — Each 2 S. 6d. 
PSYCHE (Paul Sr Son), described as the first English raised seeding from Turners Crimson Rambler 
it is of vigorous rambling growth, and produces large bunches of flowers with from 8 to 10 blooms of a pale rosy 
pink suffused at the base of the petals with salmon and yellow. Award of Merit of the Royal Horticultural 
Society. — Each 5s. 
PURITY (Cooling Sr Sons), this beautiful new Rose, which is the first English raised garden variety 
awarded the National Rose Society’s Gold Medal, is a decided acquisition. In introducing it, we believe we 
are offering one of the best new roses of late years. As a garden rose, or as a rose to grow for cutting, it is 
equally desirable. The colour is pure white with a faintly flushed centre ; it is of medium size and of perfect 
shape, is of semi-climbing habit, and appears to require only slight pruning. One of its chief characteristics is 
its earliness of flowering ; for the past two seasons our plants of it have been a mass of bloom early in June, long 
before any other double rose in the Nursery has been out. Awarded Card of Commendation, National Rose 
Society, 1879; Gold Medal, Crystal Palace, National Rose Society, 1898; Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural 
Society, 1899.— Strong Plants, 2s. 6d. each ; Six for 14s. A few Standards, 3s. each. 
fiom Gardening Illustrated, July 30, 1898. — "Unquestionably a beautiful novelty, and deservedly received 
the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society on July 2nd. It commences to unfold its delicate blossoms earlier than 
any other double rose, and to florists and gardeners who have many demands for cut roses this variety will be a great 
boon. " 
SOUVENIR DE CATHERINE GUILLOT. Tea; a charming new and distinct garden rose, 
coppery carmine, centre shaded orange, flowering as freely as a China. A very beautiful new rose, which has 
been much admired in our winning stands this season. — Each 2S. 
SUNRISE. Tea; a lovely new variety, unique in its colouring, the outer petals being reddish carmine 
shading to delicate fawn and pale salmon within, the open blossoms of a pleasing yellow; it is free and per- 
petual in flowering, and altogether an attractive and distinct new Rose. Awarded Gold Medal, National Royal 
Society, July 1898.— Each 5s. 
One Strong Riant of each of the above New Varieties 21s. 
Carriage Free. 
Prom the “ Rosarlans’ Year Book, 1899 .” — " Purity is a grand variety of semi-climbing habit, and will be 
one of our finest pillar Roses."
