BRENDA. Maiden’s blush or peach, dainty in colour and shape ; the contrast and effect of the 
bright golden anthers add a peculiar charm to this variety.

being very prominent. 
EDITH BELLENDEN. Pale rose, flowering profusely in clusters at the ends of the shoots, 
which are long and pendulous. 
FLORA M ‘IVOR. Pure white blushed with rose, perfect for cutting, large flowers, their 
elegance being increased by sprays of tender foliage that pass up between them, graceful in 
growth and habit ; a gem.

GREEN MANTLE. Bright rich pink, with a band of white encircling the anthers, which with 
their background of white have a very pretty effect. 
JEANIE DEANS. Semi-double, very large scarlet crimson, flowering freely in clusters. 
JULIA MANNERING. Soft pearly or porcelain pink, the prettiest of all the pink varieties ; 
thoroughly perpetual. 
LADY PENZANCE. Beautiful soft tint of copper with a peculiar metallic lustre ; the base of 
each petal is a bright yellow. A cross between Sweet Briar and Austrian Copper. 
LORD PENZANCE. Soft shade of fawn or ecru passing to a lovely emerald yellow in the 
centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate pink, a good grower and abundant bloomer, very 
sweet-scented ; this variety is a seedling from Sweet Briar and Harrisonii. 
LUCY ASHTON. Pretty white blooms with pink edges, not so large as some others, wonder- 
fully free flowering ; free grower with rather erect shoots, foliage very sweet. 
LUCY BERTRAM. A fine deep crimson, the richest colour of all, the centre is pure white, 
which shows off the bright yellow anthers to good advantage. 
MEG MERRILEES. Gorgeous crimson, very free flowering, seeds abundantly, has a wonder- 
fully robust habit, large foliage, one of the best. 
MINNA. Large pure white, opening with a tint of palest blush, bushy habit, foliage like a 
Scotch Briar. 
ROSE BRADWARDINE. Beautiful clear rose, perfect in shape, very profuse, strong robust 
habit. 
The complete set of Hybrid Sweet Briars, one strong bush plant of each of the 16 vars., 
for 15s., carriage and packing free. 
OTHER BRIAR ROSES. 
The Austrian and Persian Yellow Roses are amongst the most beautiful and distinct of all the old fashioned 
Roses ; they are perfectly hardy, but should be allowed to grow wild with scarcely any pruning; this is necessary, as 
they always flower upon the ripened wood of the preceding year’s growth. We also suggest these Briars being 
grown as pot plants ; plants with long shoots potted up in autumn flqwer freely in late spring, and are exceedingly 
pretty and novel amongst plants in the conservatory.
