^/E determined to distribute the following new rose in 
November, 1897, when strong Ground Plants will be offered 
at 10/6 each. 
Mrs. Frank Cant, H.P. 
This is a charming new rose, distinct in every way from all others. 
Its colour is a beautiful clear pink, the edge and back of petals silvery 
white, while the base of the petals are fully two shades deeper in colour. 
The flowers are large, very full, perfectly formed, and produced 
abundantly, every shoot bearing a flower, Its habit of growth is erect 
and vigorous, Not only is it a valuable exhibition rose, but also one of 
the finest pot Roses in cultivation. 
Exhibited before the Royal Horticultural Society, it gained "an award 
of merit.” 
Exhibited at the Crystal Palace, National Rose Society show— “card of 
commendation/' 
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
A certificate was awarded to Messrs. Frank Cant and Co., for their fine new H.P. rose, Mrs. F. 
Cant, a bright blush form that appeared to merit a medal.— From Gardeners' Magazine, July 10th, 1896. 
ltosc Mrs. Frank Cant . — A beautiful new H.P. rose that, by reason of its lovely tint of rose-pink, its 
delicate fragrance, and good habit, will certainly become popular. It is the result of crossing Gabriel 
Luizet with Baroness de llothscliild, and several flowering plants were shown by the raiser. In colour the 
flowers somewhat resemble those of La France. A.M., K.H.8., May 5th. Messrs. Frank Cant and Co., 
Braiswiek Nursery, Colchester.— From Gardeners' Magazine, May 9th. 
Lose Mrs. Frank Cant (Frank Cant and Co.). — This rose was raised from t eed, obtained from a crossing of 
Madame Gabriel Luizet and Baroness Rothschild. The habit is splendid, while the soft pink colour of the 
flowers is very charming (award of merit ).— Journal of Horticulture, May 7th. 
A New Seedling Rose.— Mrs. Frank Cant, which was given an award of merit at the lloyal Horticultural 
Society on luesday last, is the first seedling raised by Mr. Frank Cant, of Colchester, from a cross made 
between Baroness Rothschild and Madame Gabriel Luizet. The seedling, judging from a group of plants 
shown, is sturdy in growth, with bold leafage and plenty of large, finely-shaped silvery pink (towers 
delicately, if not strongly, scented. It reminds one of Baroness Rothschild , but is distinct. Evidently 
it will make an excellent pot rose, and should be of great value in the garden . — Gardminy Illustrated, 
May 9th, 1896. 
Climbing Rubens, T. 
We are much disappointed in this rose; such a large percentage of 
the plants revert to the old dwarf variety that we do not feel justified in 
offering it for sale this year,
